I'm a wedding videographer, and I've used this maybe three times max! It's open box. I just have too many. This one does NOT come with the quick release plate. It comes with the Manfrotto fluid head. The tripod has a maximum load capacity of 20.1 to 25 lbs and a maximum height of 72.24 in.The fluid head and 360-degree rotation allow the user to make smooth and precise adjustments to the equipment's position, while the levelling indicators and pan handle provide ease of use. Very study, not flimsy, great quality tripod.
