Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 055MF4 Pro MagFiber Tripod Legs, 4 Sections, Supports 15.4 lbs.:
Great tripod, good weight, very stable. Just watch out for the feet - they fall off (lost one on day one)! Order part 440SPK2 (NOT 055SPK2 despite what website says - I checked with Bogen's tech support) if you want spiked replacement feet for gripping rough terrain.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 055MF4 Pro MagFiber Tripod Legs, 4 Sections, Supports 15.4 lbs.:
I use this tripod for everything up to and including a 70-200 f2.8 with TC. I used this setup recently for shooting sheep in Denali because it was light and quiet. Only problems was the wind buffeting the setup but that is not the tripods fault. In fact, I find this leg design (3 sided) better in wind than the other popular tripod with round legs. If you don't need the compactness of a 4 section tripod, get the 3 section version for a little more rigidity. This tripod easily fits in my checked baggage. I love the leg section clamps because you can easily see if the clamps are locked or not.

The easy leg locks on 55MF4 is a delight to use compared to the twist locks on my previous tripod. I find myself using the tripod more frequently. Its light weight doesn't hurt either.

This tripod hits the sweet spot in terms of size, weight, versatility, ease of use, stability, and price. In my opinion, nothing else comes close in this price category.

My 1st good tripod-While I am satisfied with the product I will probably upgrade to handle heavier equipment soon.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 055MF4 Pro MagFiber Tripod Legs, 4 Sections, Supports 15.4 lbs.:
A very stable and lighweight tripod that can be used for landscapes or macro work. Can get get very low to the ground or work easily at my 6foot level. Still a tad heavy but I carry it wherever I go.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 055MF4 Pro MagFiber Tripod Legs, 4 Sections, Supports 15.4 lbs.:
I've used this primarily for nature photography in lots of low light situations in low-lit Oregon forests. Great for macro photography to allow me to be down low. Easy to carry on long hikes.
