Questions & Answers

What kind of equipment will it support, such as a cage, matte box, monitor, following focus, audio recorder, and matte box?

In my case, I use a Monopod with a cage and a Tascam DR60D and it works quite Having weighed myself and including my body fat, I'd say I weigh around The fluid head is a decent buy for its price.

My tripod is almost empty, so I can't afford to buy a new one. Would you mind if I say thanks?

Essentially, the two models are for different uses - one is for use with a typical photo tripod (with a center column, able to support less weight) and one is for use with a video tripod (no center column, can support more weight). Before you buy, make sure what you have is what you need. It is possible to mount the MVH500A on any tripod that has a 60mm diameter bowl, while the MVH500AH can be mounted on any tripod with a flat plate and a 3/8"

I love the fluidity of its A review of the lightweight Manfrotto MVH500AH fluid head is presented on this page
5/5

Video is not something I use it for. I use it exclusively for photography. A ball head from Manfrotto was the one I had before using this fluid The product worked fine, though the quick release plate that came with it did not impress me. As a photographer, teacher, and YouTuber Hudson Henry recommended this fluid head to me, I became intrigued with it. Following my viewing of a few of his videos, I decided to The first panorama I shot with this was with this camera. A panning knob, as well as a tilt knob, can be used. The telescoping handle makes it very easy to use. are bubbles that appear when you tilt up your head so you can level it. Landscape, wildlife, and astro photography are some of the things I use it for. Bird photography can be very easily handled with the fluid head, which functions as a gimbal head. There is a photo of a mirrorless camera with a 200-mm lens on one of the photos On it is a lens with a focal length of 500mm. It is easy to carry them with the fluid head. My use of a ball head would probably never return in the future. All the features I want are included in this software. My opinion is that it's a great book and I would recommend it highly.

This program works fine on my Sony Exmor Xperia I have a Canon 1D and a Canon 7D! I am very happy with the way it works with my Canon In my opinion, this would work with any professional video camera, if you want to use it with a cinema camera and mattebox, a Manfrotto with a larger footprint would be recommended
5/5

This system is a little different from the old ones where the plate is inserted on either side of the head hole and is removed the same way by pressing the release button on the side. The new system places one side first at the top of the hole in the head and then slides down from there. Then I pressed the button on the side (it's Then you have to unscrew a little bit and press it down), and then you have to press down the plate, and then you have to turn it upside down. The tripod head I am using is the first I have used with this system, and it took me about an hour to figure out how to use it. It's so funny.

Unlike ball heads, this is better
5/5

It's a great idea to try a fluid head if you haven't yet. It combines size, function, and reliability quite well. Manfroto's only drawback is that its proprietary mounts are limited to certain cameras.

As I have my Nikon Coolpix P1000 with an extendable non-waterproof lens, I use Manfrotto tripod heads three times per year to support the camera's heavy, extendable clamps Lens that can be detached
5/5

There was an effort to readjust the camera upwards because of the drooping caused by the two other heads.

It's a complete set for her
4/5

It's finally here. The tripod I got came without a head, but I was given a Manfrotto tripod. It has taken me so long to complete my tripod, but I am thrilled with how it turned out. It will be great to use this puppy in the field.

It has a smooth action and is very fluid
5/5

A couple weeks ago, I put my new awesome video head on an old crappy tripod, and now I don't even feel like I have a crappy tripod any more! I love how smooth the action is. With this head, I'm getting a lot of awesome tracking shots. This base plate is amazing because it snaps on and I can quickly swap out my camera for The book is highly recommended.
