I am an owner of two MDeVe Carbon Fiber Video Tripods (754)
http://www.manfrotto.com/product/tem...02&itemid=1975
used with 501 Pro heads also from Manfrotto. I must say I am very disappointed with Manfrotto. Both my brand new tripods snapped into half in under a year. It seems that the rotating part that connects the tripod to the head is very weak. Am I alone or do other users of this product have the same problems?
