Tripod Hi I have just purchased a Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 055 Carbon Fiber 3-Section Tripod with Horizontal Column. I love it except to change the angle of the legs is really difficult. They are so stiff. Can someone please tell me if you can change the tension of the legs. I have tried with an allan key but the screws won't budge. I have googled heaps of you tube videos however no one mentions this problem. Hope someone can help me please. Madonna

You have a very good tripod, Madonna. I have a different Manfrotto tripod, but this should not be a problem. You can not adjust the "tension" of the legs. Did you notice a (big silver) button on top of each leg? Try opening while holding the button. If this does not work, do not take it apart - warranty thing, just return (replace) it. Hope it helps, Regards, Bojan

I have this same tripod. Yes, the legs are tight but I have just learned to live with it. I cannot handle the type with the rings that twist so I will most likely keep this tripod until I stop photographing. If it does not work for you then maybe you should return it and keep looking.
