Rated 4 out of 5

Nice. Light. Smooth.

Light weight, smooth head, generally good. The device that holds the legs together will break off eventually. It's pretty flimsy. Still, that's no big deal.

Just what I needed

Purchased this for Video but am using it for SLR work as well. Action in all direction is smooth and stable. Easy adjustments and setup

Easy to swap cameras

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. -a-

Good Buy

I am a videographer and this is one of the best tripod heads that I have ever used. I purchased it at a really good price and it arrived ahead of the scheduled time.

The 501HDV includes a powerful new feature inspired by our top professional video head models a fixed counterbalance spring (set for a typical weight of camera + accessories of 5.5 lbs.) that helps ensure both smoother tilt movements and greater equipment safety even when tilt locks are inadvertently left off.

The easy-to-reach on/off switch allows the counterbalance system to be disengaged or re-engaged for different filming setups. From the outside, the first thing that you'll notice about the new 501HDV video head is its updated design completely retuned for much improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow a more solid gripand better fingertip control.

The 501HDV inherits its separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system, flat base (with standard 3/8" thread), quick release camera plate and repositionable pan bar from its successful predecessor.
