Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

We love this tripod head. It is so fluid and easy to use. The best part is there is no quick release plate to lose.

The pan and tilt are as smooth as silk and the adjustable handle is a blessing. The head is sturdy and will support a Canon HF G10 or a DSLR with a short zoom with no problem. The Manfrotto quality is evident. On problem I had was with the tilt/pan handle clamping screw. I took the handle off to put head on a monopod. The clamping screw worked its way out and was lost deep in the woods. Luckily I found it the next day. If the handle is removed, be sure the clamping screw is securely tightened or put it somewhere safe.

This head is simple to use and allows you to do all the basics that are necessary for a growing photographer.

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

My Nikon SLR was mounted on a fixed-head tripod, and adjusting up and down, left and right took extra steps, of course. But the micro fluid head eliminated those steps when timing was crucial. I'm talking about split seconds. It works for me now.

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

This is a great no-frills fluid head. The first one I bought lasted
about 15 years and finally succumbed after crashing onto the road--although I still used it for months afterwards. I am happy to have replaced it w/ another Manfrotto that I expect will last for the next few decades. I love it's big flat head and smooth pan and tilt movements. Also--there's no quick release plate to lose.
I use this for on-location documentary shooting

I use this with the 190XDB Tripod Legs and it is perfect for the DSLR shooting I do on the road. The lightweight, compact design is great for travel.

I saved 10 bucks by going with this one instead of the one with quick release. I also didn't want to hassle with having a small part I could probably loose easily. I love the motion on this thing, it is smooth like butter but also stops where you want it. No hassle no fuss just great motion I love it great for doing pans. I wish the handle were longer but it is removable so I might be able to get my own. It is a great tripod for my HV30. Really good if your shooting live.

After trying several high tech gadgets to help me take the shake out of my 5D movies and having little or no success, I finally opted for this fabulous video head. Couldn't be happier. Rock steady pans. Simple, easy to use. Less than a third the price of some of the other failed solutions. Do this.

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

This is a nice little fluid head. It doesn't have quick release plate so if you looking for one with that feature, this product is not for you. I use this for interview settings where I don't have to take my camera off the tripod. I have another tripod with a quick release if I need to work at events I need to walk around with camera detached.

Good product for the price.

This little tripod head which easily attaches in seconds makes the 7302YB Manfrotto backpack and tripod kit fully useable for all cameras up to ten pounds. Its worth every penny of its price. Micro fluid head is also fine for DSLR's. It just more steady torque for panning duriing video shots. The backpack tripod kit should come with this micro fluid head, and a camera quick release plate all in one kit. You really need all of these little pieces. If you have a little Manfrotto tripod, you need this little head. The tripod still fits in the backpack with the head hanging out the top, but tied down.

For video, there's nothing like a truly fluid head. This works perfectly for my small HD camera, whereas my previous head only did smooth tilts with older, front-heavy camcorders.
I do video for the performing arts and speakers.

today handycams almost reach professional quality,with this head ,you can improve smooth pannings,and staedy shots

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

I use this for making videos with my Canon EOS 5d Mark II.
I tried using my regular Gitzo tripod for video recording but it wasn't smooth enough and since I wasn't ready to buy a third tripod, I figured putting this on my manfrotto tripod will be excellent. So far so good. When it comes to video, I consider myself an amateur.

Super smooth pan and tilt. removable bar which works perfect when using a crane or fig/rig. Best tripod head I have used.

legal video

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

I use this head with a canon 7d and it supports it just fine. This head makes it easy to get super smooth panning video shots. The vertical tilt axis has a lot less resistance so it is a bit harder to use than the pan axis. However for this price I'm not complaining.

Used previous model number for several years. Controls are still very smooth after much usage. Bought another for a second studio.

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

Pretty nice item to include with the tripod I bought. Only problem was I bought a tripod bag that is a little small. So, when I put the tripod in the bag, I have to take the handlebar off. It just slows down the process. Also, no bubble-level on this or the tripod. Probably wouldn't have changed what I purchased, it's just always nice to keep in mind what you're NOT getting, yes?

Good first pro-ish tripod and fluid head. I'll be adding to my studio as it grows, but this is the first step.

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

We purchased this as a 2nd head for our Slik 780DX tripod, as the head on that tripod, while great for photo, is not great for video. We had already used this Manfrotto head when we borrowed a friend's tripod. Simple, easy, stable, smooth. More than adequate for my Canon HD camera with a shotgun mic mounted on it. Build quality is excellent, as would be expected from any Manfrotto equipment.

Comments about Manfrotto 128LP Micro Fluid Head:

I bought this to use with a small Canon HD camcorder figuring that "Micro" in the name would suggest it fit these new tiny cameras. It turned out to be huge in comparison to the camera. And while it worked very smoothly for even complex movements, it was too large for the small Gitzo tripod I'm using and very heavy as well. I returned this for the Manfrotto 700RC2 which is much smaller than this head and has a quick release. Unfortunately, it's not as smooth operating as this one.
