Review: Brilliant support system - What a great piece of kit, this is now a must take accessory when I'm out and about, combined with a super-clamp from manfrotto you can have a stable platform for any camera by clamping to handrails or other structures. The large central wheel locks and unlocks all the joints together, it just works brilliantly
