Hi All,

I posted a similar question in the Hardware forum but got no replies. Since I am using a DVX100B with a Letus adapter I thought I would get specific and post here.

Has anyone had experience with either of these tripods and can you tell me if they are comparable or if one is better than the other?

Cheers,

Adrian
 
I would say Manfrotto takes a bit more weight. I used both...I kept my small travel Libec.
Libec has plastic latches....might break one day, Manfrotto is a bit more solid built .
 
Thanks for the reply. Does the Libec have a fluid head? I saw another post that brought up the issue that its unclear if it does or not. I wonder if it will support a DVX100B with a letus adapter and rails. Specs say the TH-M20 only supports 8.8 lbs, I'm guessing not so much...

I've never seen let alone used the Libec you are referrering to but I have the Libec LS382a and believe it is far superior to the 501, I played with both before I made my decision to buy the Libec, and yes my Libec is a true fluid head, although it only has fixed drag.
