The tripod box incorrectly converted the closed length of 61.5 cm to 20 1/4 in. The correct metric to imperial conversion should read 24 1/4 in. Misleading when one is comparison shopping! I have since telephoned Amplis Photo (the Manfrotto distributor) in Markham, Canada, who will in turn notify Manfrotto in Italy of the unforgiveable error. Brake Repair

none . .

I've found the TRV-510 to serve as as a fine movie camera when car camping in Alaska to the tropics of the Cayman Islands. For best shots I recommend using a tripod as the auto focus isn't perfect yet comes very close.
