Summary: The Manfrotto MBAG80PN Padded Tripod Bag is roomier than expected. Not only does it hold my Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 Tripod with a Manfrotto 322RC2 Joystick Head on it but I can also store two more heads in the bag. This bag is really heavy duty!
- Recessed zippers
- Comfortable carrying handle
- Easy access even with the bigger video tripods
- Thermoformed padding
Review: As I stated in the summary, the bag is very roomy. At first, I wasn’t so sure that my tripod and head were going to fit because I have the optional Manfrotto 204SPK3 Retractable Rubber Spiked Feet attached. Click to continue »

There are many different tripods on the market and selecting the best tripod to fit your needs can be daunting. The following is a list of criteria to consider:
- Price
- Weight
- Height
- Construction
- Load capacity
- Ease of use
- Special features
The main purpose of a tripod is to provide stability and prevent camera movement. Keep that in mind as we look at each criteria. Click to continue »

Summary: I can’t recommend this head unless you have lightweight equipment. I really like the compact style but it droops too much with a long lens.
Review: I have used the Manfrotto 460MG Magnesium Camera Head with a variety of lenses and the head doesn’t tighten enough to prevent droop with a long lens. I really wanted to like this head because it is light and compact. I intended to use it for landscape and architectural work. On a positive note, it does use the same quick release plate as my other Manfrotto heads and works well with a wide angle lens. This head can also be twisted into some unusual positions.
Manufacturer’s Description: An innovative 3D Head unlike any other! Cast from lightweight magnesium, the head can be positioned in virtually any position to get the exact framing of the image. The lock-system using spring-loaded conical joints allows greater flexibility than any other 3D head whether mounted on a tripod centre column or lateral arm. The rubber grip knobs provide finger tip control and won’t poke you in the eye like conventional handles do. The 460Mg is the ideal head in combination with the Carbon Number One line for 35mm SLRs and medium format cameras. This replaces the Bogen Manfrotto 3437.
I am still searching for the best head to use for landscape and architectural work. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.
