Manfrotto - Difference btw 525MVB and 520MVB ?
Hello,
as I'm considering buying either a: - manfrotto 501,525PKIT (501 head, with 525 MVB tripod) ~ 550€ in France. - or a Vinten Pro-5DP (a clone to the manfrotto 501,520 PKIT, with 520MVB tripod. Still findable in France, and less expensive than 501,525PKIT). ~ 480€ in France. I wonder what's the change between the 520MVB, and the 525MVB tripods, which are the main difference between my two options. ==> Does someone know if the 525MVB is really better, or if I don't lose much by taking the less expensive Pro-5DP with 520MVB clone ? Thanks a lot for your help. best regards, Regis Villemin / Paris - France |

I got the 525 legs just as they came out.
The only difference between the two, as far as I know, is the leg locking mechanism. On the 520 legs, it’s a twist mechanism, but on the 525 legs, it’s a catch. As far as I’m aware, this is the only difference between them.
