Review on ๐ŸŽฅ Manfrotto MVH500AH: Lightweight Fluid Video Head for Rapid Camera Connection & Versatile Tripod Support by Tommy Clement

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Fluid Cap

This review is for the Manfrotto MVH500AH Lightweight Fluid Cap. I've had this fluid head for about a month and have used it fairly lightly. I only use it for photos, not videos. Before that I had a Manfrotto ball head. It worked well except I never liked the included quick release plate. I was intrigued by this liquid head when I saw it being used and endorsed by photographer, teacher and YouTuber Hudson Henry. After watching a few of his videos I decided to buy one. The pan and tilt movements are smooth and fluid. I shot my first panorama with it. Only two knobs need to be used, one for pan and one for tilt. Very easy to use and handle. When you tilt your head up, an alignment bubble will appear to help you level your head. I use it for landscape photography, wildlife photography and astrophotography. The fluid head acts like a gimbal head, which is very easy to use for bird photography. One of the photos I've attached shows a mirrorless camera with a 200-500 lens attached. The liquid head carries them with ease. I doubt I'll ever go back to a ball head. That does everything I need. I love it very much and highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Great Price
