  • BIG improvement over the 501HDV. Perfect for DSLR and HD Camcorders.
After using (and liking) the Manfrotto 501 (the older version, not the HDV), going to the 502AH is like night and day. This 502AH pans better and moves more fluidly than the 501 ever did. The price is a bargain as this is considered a pro-video head. I purchased this after a recommendation from my brother who is a professional producer and video editor. It fit on both our Manfrotto tripods; one a smaller tripod and the other a huge and heavy one with a lever to raise and lower a telescoping head. I just used this to film an anime convention last week in Baltimore and I had no trouble at all with it. Now, it is a tad bit heavy when you need to carry it around all day, ESPECIALLY if your carrying it whilst mounted to an even heavier tripod but you get what you pay for and when you pay for this, what you get is professional quality with simple ease of use and great results. To mimic previous reviewers, the panning unlock know is definitely in an awkward place but you get used to it after using it once or twice. I'd certainly purchase this again and again for my video needs because it holds both my Nikon D7000 DSLR nicely, enabling beautiful video and it also holds my Panasonic AG-HMC40 pro-HD camcorder nicely. I was able to film panels, a concert, a masquerade, a dance, and Q & A sessions and its stability and fluid drag head made everything look like a professional video shoot. This was a good purchase and I don't regret it for even a second. ... show more

  • Professional Quality Video Head
I have a Canon 7D DSLR which I want to use to shoot video, and if anything this video head is overbuilt for it. However, if I ever attach heavier equipment to my camera or move to a bigger rig, I will not have to replace the video head. It actually took me a little while to figure out how it works, because it has adjusting features and locking features for each of the things it does. For example, you attach your camera to the sliding soleplate, slide it into a position where it is balanced on the video head, and then lock it down with a lever. The handle tilts the head up and down, and there is a tension knob and a locking knob for this motion. It also pans from side to side, and again there is a tension adjustment and a locking knob. When you set it up, you need to make sure that the locking knobs that secure the tilting and panning movements are unlocked. Another feature is that there is a hand adjustable locking knob on the handle, so you can lock the handle into position for steering the video head, and when you store the equipment you can lock the handle down so that it is not in the way. I agree with the comments Mr. Patterson has about the design of the head. The locking screw for the panning adjustment is in a particularly awkward place. The sliding soleplate comes with two interchangeable screws so that different types of cameras can be mounted on it. It also has some kind of stub toward the front of the plate for mounting large camcorders. Both screws are slotted, and meant to be screwed on and off your camera with a large coin. Everything on the tripod is meant to be easily adjustable with your hands, though you should make sure that you have a quarter handy when you attach the camera. The motion is very smooth with no jerking or rough spots. The two panning mechanisms work well together to produce an even motion of the camera in all directions. I expect it to be a strong element of my video set up. I am very well satisfied with it. I am pairing it with a Manfrotto 058B Triatt Camera Tripod - Replaces 3251 and 3051 (Black), which is a particularly solid tripod. Between the two pieces of equipment, I have a very solid platform for shooting video. ... show more

  • Wow, enough said?
Style: MVH502AH Pattern Name: Video System
Wow. Should leave it at that, but I'll expand. Firstly, how I use it: For my Panasonic cinema camera (HMC150) and my Canon 7D. It is a video head, but I'm also using it for photo, since the position can be locked. Right now, I have no reason to use any other head for photo or video. The pan and the tilt fluid movement is adjustable and very good. It can shake a little at the start depending on the pressure selected, however. Maybe I need more practice. The removable quick disconnect plate is very well designed and has the install screw plus another notch to prevent the camera from moving laterally (to shear away from position). All has very good fit and finish. For just under 200 dollars, it is all I need (I considered the larger heads, but I'm satisfied with this one). It is more than enough to handle the weight of my Canon 7D and all my lenses (I have not tried it with the BIGMA, 18 to 500 sigma, but due to how it is mounted, I don't expect issues). The big advantage for me is the flat bottom which connects to my regular photo Vanguard tripod. I did not want a 100 mm 1/2 ball because I would have had to invest in a new tripod bringing my cost up. The handle that comes with it helps me move the head smoothly the great great majority of the time. As with any mechanical device, you learn how to correct for little quirks if you find them. In the end, I suggest if you're excited about the little I said above, try it. I do believe this is a well designed superior product that works at a reasonable price that suggests quality. January 2018: Still great, still use it. I realize now that the ball bottom would have been better, but didn't want to have to buy the additional ball (female) that attaches to the tripod legs. Don't regret it a bit, I just know how to manage it. ... show more
