I just got a Manfrotto 701HDV tripod head and I thought I'd try it out. I shot these clips with a Canon 5D Mark II and the lenses I used were a Canon 50mm f/1.2 L and a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L. The tripod legs used were an old set of Bogen 3046. I did horizontal and vertical panning at 50mm and 200mm to show how smooth the pans are. I haven't had much practice with this head, or any fluid head, so with practice the pans could be a little smoother. In the 200mm horizontal pan shot, I had to take a step to adjust where I was standing to complete the pan, and it gets a little shaky there. Not a recommended technique. Doing vertical pans is more difficult, especially with the 70-200mm lens, because when you tilt the camera significantly up or down and let go, it will move on its own. There is no way to balance it so it is stable at all tilt angles. That setup weighs about five pounds; vertical pans are easier with lighter weight camera/lens setups.

Manfrotto has introduced its latest fluid head -- the 504HD. This 75MM ball fluid head features the FDS variable friction system, while pana and tilt resistance is quick and intuitive. An illuminated leveling bubble makes leveling a snap in any lighting condition. The head features a 3/8-16 tapped receptacle on either side of the camera platform to accommodate accessories such as arms for monitors or audio recorders. Watch the video to learn more.

Davis and Sanford Pro Vista Airlift Tripod with fm 18 fluid head - video review I hate buying stuff online and trying to figure out how things work based on vague technical specs and tiny pictures, so as a public service, I decided to put together a little quick and dirty video review (with a little humor thrown in...I couldn't help myself.) Overall, it's a good tripod for the money, but there are some features that could and should have been better designed to make it more convenient to use. Sorry about the sound. I noticed it on the final check and didn't feel like going back to correct it. Some minor things I noticed that are not in the vid: The main screw on the QD plates is removable, and can be switched out for a larger one that comes attached to the tripod head. The head sometimes makes a slight squishing sound when you pan. It is very faint and probably would not pick up on a mic, especially in a film setting where the mic is on a boom some distance from the camera...but it is kind of weird. I've seen people complaining about a weird smell on message baords...I did not notice any odor except for a very faint (and not unpleasant) smell of plastic and metal and grease...it just smells like a new tripod. The airlift feature does not really do what I hoped, but the tripod is so tall you don't even really need to use the center column, unless you're a giant...I'm about five seven, and even with the center column down, with the legs fully extended, the tripod is about <b>...</b>
