Manfrotto 501HDV - Cabeça de Vídeo Hidráulica
Reprojetada para acomodar a tecnologia de vídeo em evolução, a Cabeça de Vídeo Manfrotto 501HDV Pro agora possui arrasto aprimorado nos dois eixos e contrapeso selecionável para as mais modernas camcorders ultraleves de alta definição. Além disso, os controles foram reposicionados e remodelados para melhor ergonomia operacional. Um prato de câmera deslizante ajuda a equilibrar cargas desiguais em virtude de baterias externas ou matte boxes, duas rosetas permitem configurações de braço de pan com a mão esquerda ou com as duas mãos, e o nível spirit montado na traseira facilita configurações rápidas. Naturalmente a 501HDV inclui a imbatível garantia de 2 anos Bogen/Manfrotto com 3 anos adicionais após o registro online ou pelo correio (apenas nos EUA).
- A cabeça possui uma trava de segurança secundária, logo você não liberará o prato (e a câmera) acidentalmente. A trava impede que a alavanca de liberação rápida abra totalmente.
- Discos revestidos em Teflon especial (usado em vez de cartuchos hidráulicos) asseguram movimento suave e fricção consistente da cabeça.
- Com uma trava separada em cada eixo de movimento, esta cabeça pode ser precisamente ajustada, e panning/rastreamento podem ser alcançados em qualquer eixo.
- Dois eixos de movimento separados - rotação panorâmica e tilt frontal-traseiro
- A barra de pan utiliza o princípio da alavanca para usar menos esforço para suportar e mover o peso da sua câmera e para eliminar qualquer movimento entre seu braço e a câmera. Ideal para equipamento usado em movimento - especialmente câmeras de vídeo e óticas esportivas / lunetas - mas também muito popular entre fotógrafos esportivos e de natureza que usam lentes longas e pesadas e precisam acompanhar suavemente assuntos em movimento.

I purchased the 501HDV to support a 6 pound Panasonic HVX200 camera and orginally placed it on an inexpensive but sturdy tripod. It panned very smoothly but I did notice some sticking when I tilted the head if it had not been moved for a short period of time (say 15 minutes). I recently purchased a more appropriate tripod, the Manfrotto 755XB, and spent some time adjusting the drags on the 501HDV. Today it worked like a dream during the church service. After balancing the camera by sliding the top plate into the correct position, I was able to move the head very smoothly in all directions with very little force and did not notice any sticking when changing the tilt of the 501HDV. I was amazed that I was able to very smoothly "tweak" my alignment with one finger. I also purchased and added a Varizoom Zoom/Iris/Focus controller to the handle and now thoroughly enjoy the control I have over the camera at my finger tips. I no longer have to take my eye off of the monitor to locate and adjust the iris and focus of the camera when panning from one side of the stage to the other or zooming in and out (I need to adjust the iris control due to varied lighting within the sanctuary). So far so good.

I don't see any benefit over the 501, and actually, i think the 501 is a far superior product. If anything, i'd recommend this more for standard def cameras rather than high-def.The build quality is very shoddy. the controls that used to be metal are now plastic, and it feels very fragile. they added a feature called balance control, which does as it is expected and it won't let your camera fall forward or backwards. but with it on, you better not do any tilts with it recording, or you get an awful springy action at the start and end of your tilt. the pan is much less fluid than the 501, especially at the start and end of the pan. also, perhaps because it is new, but i've noticed a squeak when the pan/tilt friction is set a little high (although at a normal range, for a firm resistance).given manfrotto's reputation, it upsets me that a more expensive product has left me thinking i wish i bought the 501 instead.
Problems Encountered: Balance control creates springy feel to tilts, pans are not as fluid as i'd like, controls feel plasticy

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
I needed a very light & compact head/stix for carrying on a backpack for use with a DSLR.
I much prefer using real fluid heads from vinten, sachtler, cartoni & O'connor. But this head performs pretty well given the low price, small size & light weight. I will not be replacing my real fluid head with this, only use it as a supplement.

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
we use them with Sony EX1, Z1s,Z5s. they work well for these types of cameras in documentary and classroom use. It will even work for concerts if you are careful. Set up is fast though it will make noise as the legs snap loudly.

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
Professional Videographer I bought this to use with Cannon 7d for film and video production. Price and quality was what I expected from Manfrotto, was easy to install on my existing tripod and provides a very smooth operation. I chose this over the smaller 710 fluid head for the vertical and horizontal lock down. Great value!

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
I own a Canon 60D and needed a light-weight fluid head to mount to my home made Jib & Slider for my video needs and so far this has worked stupendously.
The camera may be a little too light for the head, but leaving the tension loose resolves this. I read that other people purchasing this head have had issues mounting DSLRs to it and were 'forced' to purchase a bridge plate to elevate the camera. If you require a mattebox & followfocus, then you will need a bridgeplate anyway. But if budget is on your mind the camera can still mount straight to the baseplate. All you have to do is unscrew the tension nob that holds the bridgeplate in place and adjust it so that it tightens before hitting the base of the camera.
I also mounted this head to an old set of legs from a tension tripod I had and it's working swell.
Keep in mind that it has a flat base, so leveling will be an issue. That's why I purchased the Manfrotto 3502 Ball Level. It mounts right at the Base with a 3/8" screw and works fantastic. Adds a bit of weight but my rigs can handle it.
Very pleased with this product. The one downside is maybe the finish is rather prone to scratches. Will most likely invest in a bag/carry solution.

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
I got this head to use on my slider and jib arm. I already have a 501 HDV on my 351 legs and love using it.
I had tried to get a cheaper head, the popular 717AH, but the panning fluid on that was way too thick and I tried replacing it with several different substitutes, all of which were too thin. So I broke down and got the Manfrotto.

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
This is the 2nd Manfrotto 501 series video head that I've bought in the last 4 years. The 1st was several years back, & since then there has been some 'improvement' on the 501 line itself. Regardless of the improvements, it still functions just as efficiently as before. I would buy another one again in a heartbeat!

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
It purchased in order to photo an animation with a single-lens reflex camera.
The price is made comparatively strongly.
It was a very good purchase.
However, it was somewhat large.

Works fine in most ways but "drifts" backwards after panning.

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
I was torn between the 501HDV and the 701HDV. After deciding on the 501HDV, I was glad I did. The head is a bit bulkier than expected, but I think that will serve me well with some of my heavier gear.
I currently use this with my Canon 7D, and it's been great. I plan to purchase a camcorder that weighs in at about 5 lbs (without accessories/battery), and I'm excited to try it out with this head.
This is the first fluid video head I have bought, and I'm quite pleased. We just got tired of trying to make smooth pans on cheap tripods. This has been a fantastic upgrade!

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
I use this video head with the 055BX legs, and the combination works well with a heavy DSLR setup. It is heavy, however, and you will need to make sure that you get a tripod bag that will fit the head - it's quite large. Otherwise, this is rock solid, and a great value for the price.

Comments about Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head:
Hope you enjoyed my title, pun intended. This tripod head is really good, definitely worth the money. It's pan and tilt functions are super smooth, Haven't used it with a heavy camera yet, but I hypothesize that the tilt drag should compensate for any back or front heaviness. No negative comments, this product is really good.

I use this for still photography and video with a Canon 7D and love it. Very sturdy, very easy to attach and easy to maneuver. I have used it for some outdoor, (moon) shots, portraits and interview videos and it has performed as expected each time.
