Questions & Answers

Shopper : Hi, will the camera plate on this tripod work with a Sony VCTU plate?MARCELLE G : I don't really have a solid answer for you as I haven't used the Sony VCTU. I can however say that I've put multiple DSLR's , a couple different Sony Hanycams, and a RED Scarlet on it and have had NO issues. It really is a great set of sticks. I'm actually contemplating a second set.KOJO O : yes, it works perfectlyMARY Y : It accepts the standard plate sony has used for all their prosumer cameras
Shopper : If I purchase this Tripod kit with the 504HD Fluid Video Head and I purchase the 502HD Fluid Video Head for the Manfrotto 685B NeoTec Monopod Deluxe will the quick release plates be interchangeable? I know the 504HD comes with the longer plate but will that plate attach to the 502HD and vice versa?ROBERT H : yes, they are the same.David H : I can only speak from my experience - I have the 504hd fluid head. I had a manfrotto with the smaller base plate -They are interchangeable.MARY Y : Yes their plates are compatible just different lengths
Shopper : Does this come with the MBAG100PN Padded Tripod Bag?LARRY R : My Manfrotto 504HD VD head and 546B legs (Purchased as a unit) came with the MBAG 100PN bag. Given the weight of the tripod the bag is a handy accessory.CODY B : Not sure of the part number but it came with a padded bag. The bag has a wide end with a circular zipper opening for the head. Hope this helps. Cody BLY N : Yes, it comes with a very nice padded bag.David H : Yes it does - Very happy with the bag -

All in one tripod.

I already have this tripod so buying it again was a simple decision.I love it.It's light, portable, reliable, and can transfer from low mode around 18" to 7 ft high in seconds.If you need a tripod that can do almost anything give this a peak.Extra bonus extra plates are easy to find.If you want a heavier duty tripod head grab the 509I use this all the time with the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro and some heavier lenses like the Atlas Anamorphic, Cooke, and Canon 17-120servo.I wouldn't use the 504 head for anything larger than that.

great but cheaper than former versions

This is the best value for the price, however compared to older models, it feels cheaper. As heavy as the legs are, they feel flimsy and not as sturdy as imagined. The mid-level spreader can be helpful in some situations, but the ground spreader is much better as you can hold it down with your foot to spread the legs. WIth the mid-level it's more tedious. The head is great, but I had to return the first one because the tension adjustment was clicking tighter or looser as I adjusted it. The head does move really smoothly though, and there's nothing cheaper that's worth it if you're shooting video.

Awesome

I use this with my Red Scarlet and it works like a charm. The bubble level is easy to use and it feels well constructed for a tripod at this price level. I don't particularly like the plastic locks on the aluminum legs, but they work just fine and definitely feel like they're locking things down.

Fluidly Better Than anything Under $1200

Strongly Recommended for its quality features, strong build and beautiful style. This tripod is better than anything south of $1200, and quite honestly, I cant see anyone telling me they have a better one at $2,000. Fluid Head works well... locking plate is very durable, screw in areas for accessories like TV monitor, mics, PA Mics, etc makes this tripod ahead of most... the legs are very versitle and strong... did I mention the sexy Italian design??? well... what else could you want? Buy & enjoy.... stuff the savings into another lens or buy you girlfriend some jewlery.... ;-)
