My Review of Bogen – Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Fluid Head

Bogen – Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Fluid Head with Quick Release

Easy to swap cameras

5 5

Pros: Good Stability, Large Range of Motion, Attaches Firmly, Same Quick Release plate

Best Uses: Stabilization

Describe Yourself: Pro Photographer

I bought this head to use with a GlideTrack system mounted on top of my existing Bogen tripod and fluid head.

This head uses the same quick release plate so swapping my cameras from one to the other is fast, easy and very secure.

This head has a flat base that screws on to the tripod instead of the ball-type base of my other Bogen head. It mounted perfectly to the GlideTrack slider plate.

Highly recommend this product no matter what legs or system you’re using.

    Any reason in particular that you went with the 501 over the 701?

    Didn’t know about the 701 when I bought it. Looks like a great head at a great price – wished I’d known…

    Boy, don’t you hate when you make a purchase and then find something better?

    Thanks for the question, maybe we’ll save someone else a few bucks.
