  • Good head but incompatible with Sony FDR-AX53
It is a really solid, smooth head. Unfortunately the sliding QR plate is about 1/4" too long for the Sony FDR-AX53. When the plate is properly mounted on the camera you cannot remove or install the camera battery. If you move the plate forward it is no longer possible to use the guide pin that keeps the plate from rotating which means you really have to torque the mounting screw to keep the base from moving. Workable but not ideal. Perhaps the shorter 501PL plate will solve my problem. ... show more
