The Manfrotto Carbon Fiber Twin Leg Video Tripod Legs with Mid-Level Spreader is suitable for use on flat, smooth surfaces as well as uneven terrain, and it features carbon fiber tubes that are both strong and lightweight while being corrosion resistant. The legs incorporate a 100mm half bowl and include a 75mm adapter ring, so you can use them with heads that have either a 100 or 75mm half ball. The legs support up to 44.1 pounds, which allows you to mount an appropriately sized fluid head, camera, and accessories without straining the capacity of the legs.

With the included mid-level spreader attached the height of the legs can be adjusted from just under 2 to over 5 feet high, and the legs collapse to under 28 inches in length for transport and storage. Removing the included rubber feet reveals the dual spiked feet, which are useful for soft surfaces such as gravel, dirt, or sand. The legs weigh a mere 6.61 pounds, making them easy to take almost anywhere you can go.

The integrated lever locks are strong, durable, and increase the torsional stability of the legs.

The included adapter ring is removable and attaches with three mounting screws. Attaching the adapter converts the 100mm bowl into a 75mm bowl.

The removable mid-level spreader enables using the legs on uneven terrain, and can be used to stabilize the legs on uneven surfaces such as stairs.

Q: 6. How durable are the twist locks when using in harsh conditions like rain, sand, mud etc?? I'm sure if sand enters the lock mechanism, it would be difficult to clean thereby creating a sandpaper effect internally.

A: This head is great in terms of performance size and weight but it is difficult to recommend in the situations that you described. The design has more components exposed to the elements than other heads (such as the 504X). This means it will require more maintenance and is more susceptible to getting sand and other debris in the mechanics. There is a lot that you can do to maintain it if you choose to go with this tripod (we also sell a lot of replacement parts for this tripod if necessary) however there are limits to how deep you can clean it without being a Manfrotto technician. I recommend considering one of the other Manfrotto models that does not expose as many elements Manfrotto 504X Fluid Video Head with 635 FAST Carbon Fiber Tripod B&H # MAMVK504XSFC MFR # MVK504XSNGFC Or a brand that is better suited for tough environments like Sachtler Sachtler aktiv6 flowtech75 MS Tripod System B&H # SAS2064SFTMS MFR # S2064S-FTMS

A: The half ball adapter and tie down handle is included so this flat base head can be attached to a ball base tripod.

Q: 9. What size is the included half ball? For 75mm?
