Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What would be needed to pan with tripod fully extended + no step stool? Manfrotto telescoping pan bar not long enough.

A: We recommend using the optional telescopic pan bar from Manfrotto with the Manfrotto 608 Nitrotech Fluid Video Head and 536 Carbon Fiber Single Legs Tripod. Manfrotto Telescopic PVC-Free Pan Bar for Select Manfrotto Video Heads BH #MAMVAPANBARL https://bhpho.to/2GRam0q

Q: 2. No one seems to be answering this confidently. Is the half ball a 75mm or a 100mm? It comes mounted to the 75mm adapter. Taking it off the ball seems to swim in the open space. On the 75mm adapter it seems to not fit well. Which is it?

A: The half ball adapter and tie down handle is included so this flat base head can be attached to a ball base tripod.

Q: 3. Is the 75 mm ball adapter mounted within the 100 mm ball assembly? Great Tripod.

A: The 100mm to 75mm ring is included in the box.

Q: 4. What Manfrotto tripod bag comes in the box?

A: The exact model of bag is not listed by Manfrotto. However it will be a Manfrotto Branded, Padded Tripod Bag that can handle the folded length of the entire system.

Q: 5. Can the clamp be rotated 90 degrees?

A: The Leofoto BV-1 Fluid Video Head can rotate 360 degrees, but the Arca-type quick release clamp itself does not rotate.

Q: 6. can you add your own 75mm video head?

A: Yes, while Leofoto has many wonderful head options, the bowl would allow you to add your own 75mm flat head to the Leofoto LVC-253C Carbon Fiber Tripod with Leveling Base legs. Here a recommendation for a 75mm head: the Leofoto BV-20K Fluid Tripod Head 75mm (B&H # LEBV20K).

Q: 7. How durable are the twist locks when using in harsh conditions like rain, sand, mud etc?? I'm sure if sand enters the lock mechanism, it would be difficult to clean thereby creating a sandpaper effect internally.

A: This head is great in terms of performance size and weight but it is difficult to recommend in the situations that you described. The design has more components exposed to the elements than other heads (such as the 504X). This means it will require more maintenance and is more susceptible to getting sand and other debris in the mechanics. There is a lot that you can do to maintain it if you choose to go with this tripod (we also sell a lot of replacement parts for this tripod if necessary) however there are limits to how deep you can clean it without being a Manfrotto technician. I recommend considering one of the other Manfrotto models that does not expose as many elements Manfrotto 504X Fluid Video Head with 635 FAST Carbon Fiber Tripod B&H # MAMVK504XSFC MFR # MVK504XSNGFC Or a brand that is better suited for tough environments like Sachtler Sachtler aktiv6 flowtech75 MS Tripod System B&H # SAS2064SFTMS MFR # S2064S-FTMS

Q: 8. What is the difference between this and Leofoto BV-1R? All I can see is that there is a small weight difference, but what else?

A: There are no other differences except the slightly lighter weight on this Leofoto BV-1 Fluid Video Head, which is an updated version of the Leofoto Mini Fluid Head BV-1R.

Q: 9. What size is the included half ball? For 75mm?

A: Yes, according to Manfrotto the head attaches to the tripod through a 75 mm half ball.

Q: 10. What is the operating temperature?

A: There is no listed specific temperature of operation for the Leofoto BV-20K Fluid Tripod Head. It is well known that in close to freezing temperatures, the fluid can get viscous and make it difficult to have quicker motions in these conditions.
