The 055XWNB provides speedy set up coupled with added security with quick action, lever-type leg locks, four position legs spread, low angle adapter, leg warmers, and retractable spiked feet.
The 501HDV Pro Video Head features improved drag in both axes and switchable counterbalance for the latest ultralight high-definition camcorders. A sliding camera plate helps balance uneven payloads due to outboard batteries or matte boxes, dual rosettes permit left- or two-handed pan arm configurations, and the rear-mounted spirit level facilitates rapid setups.Displaying review 1

GREAT B&H Kit
This tripod sets up quick. Is solidly built and packs down to nothing considering the size range you get with it. Very versatile and mobile
The head is quite smooth provided you secure things up properly. I use this with a Sony EX1R and a Panasonic HVX200.
Bag is perfect size with a little extra room in the body of it for spare cables.
