The MHXPRO-2W would be another option, yes. If you have other tripods/monopods using the RC2 quick release system, and don't have any overly long or heavy lenses, you could look into the XPRO. *Christina* askbh@bandh.com bhpho.to/K76dWZ

You can add a 75mm or 100mm ball. There is no 60mm ball sold separately though. Dana G. AskBH@BHPhoto.com

Thank you! :)

The quick release plates on the 502 Manfrotto Video Head is not compatible with the MVM500A plate. You will need the 500PLONG plate for the MVM500A head, which is B&H # MA500PLONG. |Heather S|

B and H Ok thanks, but what about the Glidecam? Can I also use the 500PLONG on the Manfrotto 357 Pro Quick Release Adapter ? It will be great if I can have the same plate on all my equipement

Infokus No unfortunately, the 500PLONG plate is not compatible with the Manfrotto 357 Pro Quick Release Adapter. Only the 357pl plate is compatible with the 357 Pro Quick Release Adapter. - Yossi

Your tripod is not a very good match for this head. We advise mounting this head to a more robust /professional set of sticks. This is one of the kits we offer: Manfrotto MVH500AH Flat Base Fluid Head, 190XB Tripod Legs, Padded Case Kit - B&H # MAMVH500AHK2 .bhpho.to/1nYTbIh Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com.

Thank you so much for this info, I think Manfrotto 055XPROB with 500AH is good on your website, but I am jst wondering Can I use this tripod for Konova k3/k5 100cm slider? would that be sturdy enough to hold the weight of camera(Canon 60D - 24-70mm 2.8 lense) and slider? any suggestion on this?

You could use the 055XPROB to support the Konova k3/k5 100cm slider with the 60D and 24-70mm f/2.8 lens attached. If you are worried about stability, you could always use some sandbags or an apron with some ballast to add some stability. *Christina* askbh@bandh.com

Thank u sooooooooooooooo mch for ur help. U guys are doing great job keep it up GOD BLESS :)

Joy Christian You are most welcome. we are glad that you derive benefit from our presentations.

Both are great choices. The Manfrotto 500 head is a bit smaller in size so it may work best on the Kenova K2. The 502 has tension control for tilting and panning, so you can make it very slow and smooth or very loose and quick. >Chuck

Check out our article: How to Buy a Video Tripod: bhpho.to/2k2PpqR 100mm half balls are going to provide more stability, and 150mm-diameter half balls or flat bases are good for camera systems that weigh 80 pounds or more. Smaller sizes, such as a 60mm half balls, are appropriate for smaller, lighter cameras. The big advantage of ball bases, also referred to as half ball or claw ball, is that they allow quicker and easier leveling of the fluid head. Without a ball base, you have to adjust the individual leg heights to level the head. Most heads have a built-in bubble level. One that is illuminated for working in dim conditions is more desirable, but any kind of bubble level is very useful for leveling. Many heads are available with either a flat base or a ball base, and while it may seem an obvious choice to get a head with a ball base for fast and easy leveling, there is a compelling reason to consider a head with a flat base, especially when using a camera system that weighs less than 20 pounds. The reason is the camera slider. Small, portable, lightweight camera sliders for medium-sized and smaller cameras have made it easy to add production values to shoots. >Mark

The Manfrotto 500 will support up to 11lbs. Generally I like to have extra stability so for a fully rigged camera I would lean more towards the Manfrotto 502 or 504 heads personally. Dana G. AskBH@BHPhoto.com

That's the Opteka FFR-900; it's not a brand that we carry but you can certainly find it several places online. Thanks for watching.

The MHXPRO-2W is smaller than the heads featured here and lacks some of the features of those heads. Some features the MHXPRO-2W lacks would be drag resistance, a built in counterbalance system, and a wider support platform/quick release plate.

The tighter the lock, the more resistance you will have while panning, it should only be as tight as is necessary for your usage. In general, it would not be wise to go much beyond hand tight as it may damage the head. If you have any further questions please email askbh@bhphoto.com *Andrea

Ok, thank you.

Not at all. Nice combination. Robust and extremely stable for Its weight and capacity. bhpho.to/2aJiHo6 >Mark

+Samuel Wijerama The Manfrotto MVH500AH Fluid Video Head with Flat Base would be compatible with the Manfrotto BeFree Compact Travel Aluminum Alloy Tripod. It is important to note that the flat base of the head would be larger than that of the tripod, when the center column is extended it would make the tripod more top heavy. If using this combination, weighing down the tripod is strongly recommended. *Andrea

A10TOES Unfortunately, the Bogen/Manfrotto 3031 is the model number for the tripod legs, not of the tripod head. To make a recommendation for a quick release plate, I would need to know the model number of the tripod head you are using on your Bogen/Manfrotto 3031 tripod. If you can send this information to us at askbh [at] bhphotovideo [dot] com, we could then assist you with your inquiry.

Alright, TY. I was given this tripod by my uncle who is no longer w/us & apparently the plate was left on his cam or was lost. Is it possible to send you a photo of the head; I've looked for a number on the head & maybe I am not seeing the location of the number. TY "Donna W."
