Manfrotto 501HDV | 055XPROB Fluid Video Head/Legs Review

[LifeWithAnAngel]

Nice review, but why did you record right into the sun?

@LifeWithAnAngel Because flip 180º and there's my house which is not nearly as nice to look at as the Palm Tree's are.

Hi there,

Thanks for the great review. I've got the same set-up but was wondering what tripod bag you use? I'd prefer not to have to unscrew the tripod head every time I pack it away. Do you know of any cheap tripod bags that will fit both?

Cheers

@LiLowHouse Hello LiLowHouse,

You're welcome! Glad you liked it. I don't use a tripod-bag, I mean these things are study enough were I don't feel like I need one because it would be really hard to break. I've dropped this thing a few times (from wind) and it's held up perfectly.

Thank you,

Mitchell

Thanks a lot for your clear review. I bough this combo here in Spain and I want to use it with a Canon fx100, wich is a rather "light" camera , hope the stabilization works too. Again your video covers everything I needed. Best Regards.

Hello, Thank you for your review. I have the same fluid head. My question is, I screw it to my Tripod (slik AMT). Pan to the left is fine. BUT, pan to the left, it unscrews itself from the tripod. I looked all around if I was missing anything, if there is an extra screw somewhere... ANY idea? Thank you.

E' lo stesso che mi hanno regalato a Natale! It is the same as that gave me at Christmas!

I just found out the 501 isn't fluid. It uses teflon plates.

Is that good or bad?

Great video! Just curious what did you film this with? I'm in the market for a good camera

Thank you in advance

[chargerfun34]

@daswani87 Thank you! Sorry for the long reply.. never noticed this comment. I filmed this on a Nikon D5000, you can find them pretty cheap now!

@TekCloud Hey, the tripod/legs together was about $500 from B&H.

Thanks so much. I have an older model of the 501 and I can't find any info on it anywhere. Your video on this newer model has told me more about my older one than nearly an hour of searching on the 'net. Again, thanks!
