Questions & Answers

ALEX V : Is the MVH500 AH fluid head interchangeable? Can it be mounted on other Manfrotto tripods?
ashley n : Are there any L brackets that will fit directly into the head of this tripod? I have a nikon z6.
DEWEY F : is this a good tripod for shooting smartphone videos?JAE THOMAS S : This tripod is more for professional video camera, but I highly recommend this <a href="https://www.adorama.com/jogp5kkit.html" target="_blank">https://www.adorama.com/jogp5kkit.html</a> as it's perfect for smaller devices and can mount almost anywhere.Melissa G : I think this may be a bit more heavy duty than you would need for a smartphone, but if you need a sturdy tripod and you are able to find a compatible smartphone mount, it could very well work out well. However, I feel there are smartphone specific tripods out there that may do just as well and may even be cheaper.

Great Tripod

So far I have used this tripod on two shoots and it has worked great, the video head functions as it should and has given me smooth pans.

Good, but I would also look at the 502 head with the 055 tripod

I purchased this ti supplement the Manfrotto 502 head with the 055 tripod I previously purchased from B&H. I like the fact this head doesn't have the fluid adjustments like the 502 so I can grab it and run. But I prefer the mounting plate on the 502 to the 500 as the thumb screw seems cheap. The tripods themselves are very similar with the 055 being slight taller. Stability is about the same. I unfortunately live in a major city that doesn't have camera shops where you can look at equipment. So I purchased this sight unseen. If I could for the ($) difference I might have gone with another 502/055 combo as I believe it is more substantial for the money.

Smooth, easy-to-use tripod. Quality, but heavy!

I admit I had to read through the quick user guide/instruction manual in order to figure out exactly how to smoothly use this tripod but once I did I'm glad I made the purchase. It isn't complicated and even though the quick release plate fits a bit oddly on my Canon 6D, it's a secure fit and I feel safe using this tripod for both video and photo. The only drawback I can see is it's heavier than I expected. But that trait in a tripod isn't always a negative!

The head's innovative side lock system facilitates a faster, easier, and safer camera setup, allowing for quick camera engagement from above without the need for secondary safety locks.

Crafted for portability and quick deployment, the 190X tripod is a sturdy and durable 3-section aluminum support with Quick Power Lock levers that enable single-handed, powerful locking of each leg section. This design not only speeds up the setup process but also enhances the tripod's stability and rigidity. The intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow for independent and solid positioning of each leg, granting the user unparalleled freedom to adjust for various shooting angles and scenarios.

The tripod's standout feature, the Ground Level Adaptor, paired with the four leg angles, empowers photographers to achieve ultra-low shooting positions, unlocking new creative perspectives. The top casting's Easy Link connector transforms the tripod into a practical mobile studio, capable of holding a variety of accessories such as LED lights, flashes, reflectors, and more, on an extending arm or bracket.
