China Olympic Games Weather Control

I can't imagine taking this lens off the camera! I've been using it at the 2012 Olympic Games in London and am very happy with the super wide angle you get with this lens. Also great service from B&H. It only took 3 days to deliver to my address in the UK from the USA.

First, it's still made in Italy not China. This head has wonderful fluid drag resistance that rivals the much larger 502AH. It can support and control a 5-6 pound rig. Not as well as the 502 but well enough and at half the size/weight. The two settings for tilt drag (long lense/short lens) work well. The pan drag is quite stiff and it will pull the tripod legs off of the ground with a light load, but if you hold down the tripod or otherwise control your movements this thing is smooth, solid and a pleasure to use. Great size/weight for run and gun, use on a monopod or small tripod or slider.

I tried 'made in China' imitation 200pl plates and holders and found quality control issues. On some the plate didn't fit snugly in the holder. Some you couldn't fully clamp the plate. I finally went back to all 'made in Italy' plates and adapters and heads and am happy that my cameras are not going to come loose. Probably at the worst possible time. Although Manfrotto might not be the most high tech gear, it is certainly robust and well made.

As flexible as an Olympic gymnast and yet immovable when locked into position!

These batteries run my Feelwqorld screen very well in cool weather I could probably record 2 games!

I've used it for about 3 weeks. Easy to use features and weather. Plus app to control while away.

I use this product in my new Olympic camera. Love it. The battery life is superb.

I purchased the radios for my Football Crew to use during our games, great for communicating on the field weather it be to correct a placement of the ball, talk about a penalty, or just talk between plays. They work fantastic

HP still makes the best printers even if they are made in China.

Perfect for shooting in China.
