That vest will match my over-sized fanny pack perfectly

This is what I would call VERY expensive. If they had long experience, it could be something to consider, but this looks just way overpriced…

Rip off? Every lightstand, tripod, and grip piece I have from them has outlasted pretty much every other version I’ve bought.

I can honestly say every last piece of this stuff looks horrible. LOL if you wear a vest.

Is that me or the bag just looks like a disaster waiting to happen with all the weight of the gear separate from the shoulder straps by a small zipper… Wouldn’t trust it with my gear!

All Manfrotto products are an absolute rip off and as China is one of their distributers, the products are most likely made there. $300 for gloves! Anyone going to Everest ? Get real Manfrotto.

Woah! $300 gloves!? Really? I’d like some cold weather gloves that I can still work a camera with, but not $300 worth. (assuming they actually would keep my hands warm)

I only have Lowepro bags myself (some where in the ball park of a dozen at this point). There are a few features I see around that I would like to see Lowepro adopt but I’m quite happy with their gear.
As for Manfrotto, all my supports and stands are from them or Gitzo (same distributer) so I’m interested in checking out their soft shell jackets and raincoats.
