Review on 🎥 Professional Video Head - Manfrotto 509HD: Enhancing your Filmmaking Experience by Josie Stevens

I bought it with a 545GBK tripod. I used to rent a Sachtler DV1015 head and tripod kit to mount the PXW-FS5 or used my own benro s7 fluid head for the 5D Mark IV. The 509HD performs really well, almost on par with the Sachtler head, particularly in terms of pan and tilt smoothness. It also has two 3/8-inch ports on the left and right sides, making it easy to connect monitors and accessories. I've tested the rig up to 25lbs so it will work with almost all lightweight electronic drives and inexpensive film Compared to Sachtler's simultaneous pan and tilt is a little less fluid than just one move at a time.
