Sachtler 1001 Ace M MS System with Ace M Fluid Head, Tripod, Mid-Level Spreader, Bag, Camera Mounting Plate, Pan Bar Review

We were very pleased with the balance of value, height, ease of use, head behavior. The weight for its performance is good. UNTIL we used it outside in somewhat chilly weather (40F). The legs came out from where they are joined at the top! I think they did not test thoroughly enough the difference in thermal reaction between the materials of the legs vs the receive. The legs must have contracted much more. Now, they are permanently loose until we figure out what glue to use to put it back. Inexcusable.

Not what one expects from the venerable maker. Maybe not made in Germany....
