Can i use "Manfrotto MH054M0-Q2 054 Magnesium Ball Head with Q2 Quick Release" with this tripod? Is it a perfect match? I own a Canon 70D with 18-135m

I use my my Pistol grip head with a monopod that did not come with a ball head.Your tripod has one, so you will end up with 2 devices that do the same thing. I believe the Pistol grip is easier to use.

Sure. I use a Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release on mine. Works like a charm. Still cannot believe the great price on such quality.

I have the MVH502AH (not sure about the size of the MVT502AM). My MVH502AH is much bigger than the MVM500A monopod head. I use my monopod for outdoor shooting -- although it is somewhat heavy, but a totally fantastic monopod. My tripod is the Monfrotto 055 (very heavy for inside video work) with the MVH502AH head and the plates are interchangeable although one is a little smaller than the other and the two heads work a little differently.

This monopod has a 1/4" screw and most ball heads have a 3/8" thread. So you need a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter before you can use many of the common ballheads found on amazon or elsewhere 2x 1/4" Female to 3/8" Male Adapter for Tripod and Camera and Qr Plate/adapter Brass - This is what you need

This is my first Tripod ball head purchase. Upon close inspection and trial I found a 3/16" allen screw. I attempted to loosen but it was securly attached and I did not want to attempt using brut force our placing the head in a vice. I have found this ball head to be quite adequate for my purposes. I have mounted a Canon 7D plus a 70-300mm Canon lens with a tripod collar. I hope this is some help for you.

It won't work because you need legs that have a 75mm bowl due to the "75 mm diameter half ball" feature of the head for leveling. This way the tripod head sits in the legs. I would recommend these legs: Manfrotto 535 Carbon Fiber 2-Stage Video Tripod with 75mm Bowl (Black)

I use the Ravelli tripod and the Manfrotto rapid release plate with my Canon T3i. Although there isn't much room between the camera and the tripod I was able to adjust the tightening screw on the quick release plate so it becomes lose enough to slide the camera on but tight enough to keep the camera in place. Hope this helps.

I currently use a Manfrotto 405 geared head on my 055CXPRO3. I weighs more than the MH057. It's 'overkill' for what I need to mount (D700 with AF-S 80-200mm f2.8 or AF-S 300mm f4), but the tripod handles it with ease.

This pistol grip comes with the QS-60 quick release plate. As far as we can tell, that's the only plate currently compatible with this tripod attachment. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

I believe it's Swiss Arca style but not Swiss Arca compatible, if that makes sense. The ballhead is detachable from the legs, though, so if I have a different plate on a camera, easy enough to detach the ballhead and screw on one of my Manfrotto heads. (3/8" mounting screw.) Still a pretty good head, and the tripod legs alone are worth the price for the light weight, compact size, and load capacity.

Hello Max, I have the same tripod but have a ball head (previously purchased). Depending on the type of shooting you do I have suggested two heads for you and it all depends on your pocket book. Please let me know if this was helpful. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IT0AMBU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3CPFG407PLYKQ&coliid=IH8G8M4A1JDBU or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B981E3E/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3CPFG407PLYKQ&coliid=I3JGP324Z42JBE

The 504 is a great head for medium cameras. Very smooth and full fluid head but unlike older heads, you can't use on the legs you are talking about. The head is interchangable only with other "Ball Head" style legs.

We bought the 701HDV model head for this Tripod. It seems to work fine. It is a little choppy, so if you want a fluid head, you may want to look at something else.

Hello Harry. It seems the tripod has a standard thread so you can swap it with any head of your choosing. Note though, the screw is not the 1/4 inch-20, but the heavier bolt size. The pistol grip will give you super easy 2-axis movement, but the head that is shipped has an excellent panning feature separate from the ball function and the ball has both a locking knob and a friction knob that lets you have fairly fluid 2-axis movement. I'm actually very impressed with this tri/monopod - they surpased my expectation for a Chinese product and it more closely resembles the popular Italian line.

yeah i know what you're talking about, but i plan to mount it with a manfrotto 200 pl quickrelease, and not using your screw, to get a gd stabiliity on tripod. The problem with canon 6d it that the camera body won't accept the magnetic part, i already try two different viewfinder. They don't stick to the body because the body around the lcd screen is not perfectly flat... that's suck. What do you think about mounting your device with a 200pl quick relase? I know the screw would be too short but i can use a longer one. Thx for your quick answer. regards

Yes. I am actually using a Manfrotto 324rc2 pistol grip head on mine. This tripod is light duty though. I might consider the next size up.
