Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. is BeFree live video head ? will fit on oben Bc-226t
A: Yes, the 3/8"-16 thread on the Manfrotto Befree Live Video Head is compatible with the 3/8"-16 screw on the Oben AT-3585 Folding Aluminum Travel Tripod when removing the Oben BC-226T Ball Head from the tripod.
Q: 2. I know the plates are much longer, but can I take a camera off my Manfrotto MVH500AH head with 500PLONG plate and mount on this head?
A: Yes you can
Q: 3. Will this work on a Sirui P204S?
A: Yes it will. The Sirui P-204S (B&H #SISUP204S) has a 3/8 screw that you can use to attach the Befree Live Video Head to it.
Q: 4. does this come with the leveler that you attach between the head and the extension rod?
A: The Pan Bar on the Befree Live Video Head is removable and there is a Bubble Level on the bottom of the head to assist you with balancing the head. However there is no leveling mechanism on the head. You could put this product on top of a Manfrotto 438 Compact Leveling Head before connecting it to a tripod for a ball base leveling system. You could also pair the Befree Live Video Head with the 755XB MDeVe Tripod which has an integrated Half-Ball Leveling System included already.
Q: 5. Will this work on a bogen 3011 tripod leg
A: yes it does - 3/8"-16 Female threads
Q: 6. I have a Davis And Sanford FM 18 and a stedicam that use the same style sliding plate and botheare interchangeable I want to use this head but want to know if the plate is the same demensions as the FM18?
A: The Befree Live Video Head uses the Manfrotto 501PL plate, which is not compatible with the Davis & Sanford FM18. One popular option is to install Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect adapters on to heads that do not accept a 501PL, B&H # MA577.https://bhpho.to/2mRIakh
Q: 7. Is this standalone head come with the half ball base or it is flat base only? The half ball base only comes with the Befree live tripod system?
A: The leveling base is part of the tripod, not the head. So you would need to purchase the Befree Live tripod. The head has a flat base.
Q: 8. I know this is primarily for video but is it stable enough for long-exposure and time-lapse video and photography?
A: Yes it is.
Q: 9. Will either Manfrotto's 200 PL or 200LT PL work on this head? I really want something smaller on my Lumix GH5. Thanks in advance!
A: They will not, this head uses the 501PL system. Instead you can look at the Manfrotto MHXPRO which is a Pan and Tilt head that uses a 200PL-14 Quick Release plate. https://bhpho.to/2badq6r
Q: 10. Is this video head made for the Manfrotto MVM250A Monopod?
A: You can use this head on that monpod without issue for they have matching 3/8 mounting points.
