I've been searching for a long time for a tripod and video head combo to serve my needs as a dedicated video hobbyist. I ended up pairing this head with a Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 tripod, which I also love. The tripod will be a separate review, but let it suffice to say that if you're in the same quandary trying to find a video head and tripod to work well together, give this a serious look.I'm not a pro, nor anything close, but I do have serious amateur needs for video that sometimes approach (s...

Manfrotto's hidden gem.You don't hear much about this fluid head but I have owned one for 3 months and can I can honestly tell you that it is pretty good unit.I use it with my Nikon D500 for shooting video and sometime pictures. The MHXPRO-2W works very well in both areas. It is smooth enough to take great videos yet is small enough that you are not lugging around a 4lb monster. I would highly recommend this Fluid head for those on a budget who need a good head for taking pictures and videos ...

I like that I can use this head with my current quick release, and it does have a nice feel to it. My only beef is the adjustment knob on the bottom.The knob spins below the base of the head — which typically isn't a problem on a tripod, but on a slider, it gets in the way when panning. There's a pull and adjust feature to the knob that allows you to softly spin it a quarter turn, then reset and spin it again, but only works when the knob is tightened down; otherwise it's a big pain in the bu...

Everything I needed in a tripod head. I don't have a big camera or heavy lenses so this is just right. I use a Canon 60D and this head has enough resistance to hold it in place. The fluid movement is great and I've used it for many film jobs. I attached it to a Manfrotto 290 Dual tripod with 90 Degree column so I can aim the camera straight down if needed. I'm really enjoying using this. Best tripod and head I've ever owned.

I have a Quantaray QSX tripod and it has a quarter inch male screw at the top. So I had to purchase a bucking adapter (from 1/4 to 3/8). That allowed me to connect the Manfrotto head to the tripod stand.The Manfrotto head itself is a product of very good quality. The pan AND tilt are both fluid and my videos come out very smooth and professional looking. I have a Canon XA20 semi-pro video camera and this fluid head is a very good accessory to go along with it.
