Manfrotto MVG300XM Overview

By B&H Photo's

The MVG300XM Modular Gimbal from Manfrotto was created with videographers, filmmakers, and independent content creators in mind. It has a load capacity of 7.5 lb and features a customizable modular design that works seamlessly with most popular CSC and DSLR cameras.

The simple interface of the electronic multifunction knob has A and B buttons that allow users to set up shooting points that can easily and precisely replicate shots. It offers greater control and focus points, enables entering set mark points and playing with the movement of the axis, customizes the dumper, and works with different curves. The integrated touchscreen display allows direct selection of different modes with just a press of an icon in many cases. Not just a simple gimbal, this is also a remote head—the handle and gimbal can be detached for greater versatility, allowing for many applications. The detachable handle switches into a wireless remote controller.

The classic 501PL quick release configuration and 3/8"-16 threaded mount provides an easy connection to other supports when the handle is detached. A dedicated short 501PL plate is included for mounting the handle on the GimBoom boom pole.

    How can I get camera control with this gimbal for popular Nikon cameras such as D750? It does not include Nikon DC2 cable.
    Asked by: Dion
    Chris H of B&H staff, thanks, but I know that. I am looking for a way to make it work, as it should be possible with a cable adapter, to go from an included cable to a DC2 connector. It should be easily possible. Can someone answer this?

    Will it stabilize a Nikon D500 ? I understand it's not compatible with the controls. IJust want to know if it will stabilize it.
    Asked by: Charles
    Unfortunately, the Nikon D500 camera has not been tested with the Manfrotto MVG300XM Modular Gimbal. Tested Nikon models are the listed in the compatibly chart below. the Weight of the Nikon D500 is 1.89 lb / 860 and the gimble payload weight is 7.6lbs so the camera should balance on the gimbal. But it's larger size may not fit. Compatibility chart: https://bhpho.to/3vDG92H

    What kind of tripod should I get to mount this on?
    Asked by: Thomas
    The gimbal has standard 1/4-20" threads on the bottom and can be mounted to any standard tripod. It will add about 5lbs to your set-up though, so we'd recommend using it with a tripod that can handle at least 10lbs of weight.
