Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5 055 Magnesium Photo-Movie Head, a sturdy head with a solid build. There is what appears to be paint wear on the curved part of the pan handle (from new). There are scratches around the connection screw to the tripod (see photo 7). While there is no peeling of text or markings, and it is in relatively good condition, please judge the other conditions from the photos. The original box is not included. Please consider purchasing only if you understand that this is a used item. (I am a non-smoker, so there is no nicotine stain or stickiness.) Thank you. *The quick release plate has been changed to one with easier-to-use screws, and the one originally included is not attached. There are no problems with use, but please consider it as an extra.
