Can you use Arca swiss foot plates?? on this manfrotto. I have installed really right stuff foots on all my canon long lens??
Asked by: John
This Tripod takes a 504PLONGR-1 Quick Release Plate. An Arca swiss-style plate could be used with an adapter such as a Really Right Stuff B2-LLR-II Lever-Release Clamp (80mm) (SKU: RERELESECLMP) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1301154-REG/really_right_stuff_b2_llr_ii_quick_release_c_lever_release_style_quick_release_clamp.html

The Manfrotto 504X Fluid Video Head with Flat Base (B&H# MAMVH504XAH) may be used with the Manfrotto 190XPROL Aluminum Tripod Legs (B&H# MA190XPROL) and very many other tripods (Manfrotto and non Manfrotto) that accept a tripod head with a flat base.

hi, can i use the plates from Sachtler?

hi, can i use the plates from Sachtler?
Asked by: John
FWIW, the Sachtler FSB-6 tilt-in model will accommodate Manfrotto 501 plates. So if the Manfrotto 504X can accomodate the 501 plates, I would expect it could accommodate the plate that comes with the Sachtler FSB-6 tilt-in model.

Where would the fluid be in this video head? I don't see much mass for the fluid...
Asked by: David
Thanks for the reply. I'm just concerned that with so little "body mass" to this fluid head compared to convention fluid heads, there hardly seems room for any fluid. Reviews will tell soon enough...

How much weight in Kgs could the 504X can carry?

How much weight in Kgs could the 504X can carry?
Asked by: Don
I just watched the video which states the counter balance only works up to 14.33 lb. So, don't conclude that the 26.5 lb. payload will work with the counter balance.
