Need suggestions on MVK502AM tripod

[gossamer]

Hi,

I have an opportunity to buy a used Manfrotto MVH502A head with the MVT502AM tripod on craigslist for around $300. It's listed on B&H for around $450, so it seems like a good deal. I was just curious about people's experiences, if not with this specific model, then with this line of tripods in general.

It's outside of my budget, but it sounds like a great deal. Too good to be true? This tripod looks like a real performer. I'd sure appreciate any feedback you may have.

Thanks,
