Sorry to be so rude but not just one but seven of the clips have fractured after most minimal of use with pocketable camera (I have several tripods, I know what hard use means). I repair the leg clasps each time with a cable tie. Then another one goes. Three years old. A disgrace to bear the name Manfrotto , hence my title. I use it for a flash mount now, that's all I will trust to it, it's a cheap second hand unit.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. BEWARE OF THE MANFOTTO BRAND. DO NOT TRUST AN EXPENSIVE CAMERA TO THEM. YOU WILL REGRET IT.
