Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi Experts, I'm a novice and basically trying to buy this head in order to record subjects in motion (flying birds, boots etc) for short length movies. Does this have the speed capability? For a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS.

A: It shouldn't be slower than any other head. However shooting single birds in flight is very difficult. Shooting flocks from a distance will be much easier. Most still photographers handhold their rigs (DSLR+Telephoto) to shoot birds in flight.

Q: 2. Will this head fit on 3021 Manfrotto legs?

A: As long as the tripod has a flat top with a 1/4 screw this head will fit.

Q: 3. What is the base diameter on the Manfrotto MHXPRO ?

A: The base diameter of the Manfrotto MHXPRO 2-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head is 2.25 inches which translates to about 57mm

Q: 4. Will this fit on a gorillapod focus tripod?

A: This head has a fixed pan drag, so any time you panned you would probably end up twisting the head off when panning right to left; or simply twisting the legs of the Gorillapod and ruining your shot.

Q: 5. Will this head fit on my Sunpak Ultra 6000 PG tripod?

A: Yes, if your sticks have a 3/8 thread. I don't know anything about those sticks, but I know this head has a standard thread.

Q: 6. Would I be able to use a medium to large size gimbal head on this tripod?

A: The Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod has a maximum support weight of 19.8 lb. Technically, as long as the total weight you are putting on the tripod including the head, camera body and lens is no more than around 19 lbs it should be fine.

Q: 10. Is this a video head or a Fluid Head?

A: Definitely IS a fluid head. The description on this page is poorly written. Look at the the Manfrotto site and it is specifically titled as a "XPRO Fluid Two-Way Tripod Head with Fluidity Selector." "Adjustable fluidity on tilt movement for smoother shooting; Professional fluid drag for pan and tilt movements."
