Love this video - I was about to invest in the 502, but after seeing them side by side the 500 is much better for my use case. Thank you!! You’re a legend.
I've used the Manfrotto 502 for years without issues. It is sturdy and does its job. Tip: You can mount the quick place on camera turned 180 degrees and use the head other way around, which will solve most of the "problems" shown here. Pan lock is now directly towards you.
That’s awesome - stoked it’s worked for you. I see the 502 in the field way more, and putting it on ‘backwards’ like you said is what I suggest at the end of the video. It’s the best solution that does fix a lot of the issues. I enjoy the smaller size and weight of the 500 in the end - also how the plate goes on the head is heaps easier - both are great options that don’t break the bank in the end. Thanks for the comment.
Hey thanks for the video , do you think the 502ah would be too heavy for a cobra 3 monopod , I have a 502ah / tripod combo , but thinking I’m going to have to buy the 500 because it’s like 2 pounds lighter
Hey thanks for the comment. That’s a tough one, I’d say unscrew the 502 from your tripod and test it/ unless you have the bowel version and it won’t work. Weight wise it does look like it would work, but as you know, it’s size could make it a bit awkward. I think the 500 or one of the heads designed by iFootage for the monopod would be better. But if you have a beast camera and lens the 502 would work. Good luck!
May I ask what kind of rig you have on top of the 500? I'm planning to do birding photo and video with a 200-600 lens, a mirrorless and a monitor on a fluid head. Cheers!
I could not help noticing your nervous and fiddling handle of both heads looked as if you have not seen a tripod and panoramahead before....It is painfull to watch and it touches to a comedy. Peter Sellers comes to mind
After coming from these and switching to a Sachtler Ace, man I wish I saved more and started with Sachtler from the get go. There’s no comparison to how smooth a Sachtler is, let alone the counterbalance support.
Yea the Satchler’s are awesome - if I wasn’t a semi-Manfrotto fan boy I’d be down. Counterbalance control would be nice - I do majority lock off shots and with my current work flow the 500s work good for me.
@@TravisVarga I feel you on that. I never wanted to move my 500s because I just couldn’t get the fluid motions without some backlash. So I moved them as little as possible. But I had to upgrade because it was pointless to have a fluid head that I didn’t want to use for actual movements. I’ve since picked up a Sachtler Aktiv6 and flowtech75 legs and it’s been transformative in my workflow now. So quick and easy.
Hey thanks for the comment / the 502 has a fixed counterbalance. And also the fluid head is set (at like a medium). With lighter cameras less aware of counterbalance issue so depends what our using.
@@TravisVarga I'm looking for a fluid head to which I can add a Nikon D850 + accessories but I need the counterbalance when I tilt the reflex up or down and it returns to the horizontal state on its own in a fluid way by adjusting the speed with the knob or by tightening it or loosening it. I don't know if I explained myself. I found a well-maintained 502 for 90 euros but before buying it I wanted to understand if it does the job I need, otherwise I will choose something else. Thank you
@@MaurizioMoscatelli-photo I understand what you’re saying. You may need to pay more and get the Nitro one or a different one - the 502 likely won’t do what your saying - but there’s a chance it’s near the set counterbalance (think it’s 8ish pounds).
thank you for this depth review. after this I went to the store, and noticed the exact same problems you talked about. So I I decided to buy 500. for my purpose it will be quite enough. thanks
Haha noted, yet I don’t want to mess up the sacred RUclips algo that currently has this video doing well lol. I would have thought TY would make auto time stamps by now, but I see it hasn’t (maybe this video came out right before they started doing that). I can answer any questions you have on the topic? I’d say bottom line get the 500 if you want a solid fluid head that’s easy to operate and great medium drag. If you really need more fluid control and also wanna edit the counterbalance, check out the Nitro head (expensive but prolly worth it) or a competitor brand that has those.
Thanks for the in depth video, good to hear your thoughts and see a direct comparison. Seems the 500 is a better choice for run and gun stuff, can’t imagine having such a large head as the 502 that’s even bigger than the camera
Appreciate the comment. Agreed, really dig the 500 - your spot on with the weight and size of the 502. If I wanted to adjust fluidity, I’d just look at the Nitro series or another option. Good luck if you pick up a 500!
I think some of the problem" not all " is the camera you are using is too small and too light for the 502 head is made for much bigger cameras out with big lens .
The problem is for small camera to lock the base plate. I have been used the 502 since 2016 with supertelephoto lens like EF500 f4 and EF600f4. The good thing is it can move upright in the sky and fast manuever to follow the bird in flight. But with issue of locking of such hevy lens and camera assembly upto 6 kgs.
Great video, thanks! I'll go with the 500 for my photography work✌🏼 it's just easier, and less fuss, and I know where I'm at every tinme I use it, and it's less money. Thanks again✌🏼
Hey HUMAN LIFE, thanks for watching and appreciate the comment. Yea I'd agree with your conclusion and choice on the matter. There's a photographer (Hudson Henry) where he talks about the 500 and him really digging it for photography. I think it's the perfect balance of size and function - enjoy!
Hey buddy I love your humor. I just subscribed and hit the bell. I'm looking for a fluid head That has the half ball at the bottom that will mount on my tripod. The video camera I'm using is a Sony NX5U. Which one do you recommend. ? Don't break my bank now. KK Motion Pictures Also on RUclips
Haha what's up Keith! Appreciate the sub and checking out the video - seems your a filmmaker yourself. Cool - haha and per your request, even though I give some decent hate in this video towards the MVH502, it would work a bit better with a bigger camera like your Sony. There is a half ball version of it as well that exist. I don't think the MVH500 has a ball version, only flat. With the proper counterbalance, the 502 would work nice (check your camera weight against its 8ish lb counterbalance). BUT I would also recommend literally setting the 502 up backwards as this creates more ease of use due to the controls 'being in the right place.' Another option is a Nitro buy Manrotto (but near $600 and unsure your budget) or a Satchler ACE or ACE XL equivalent. Benro also has an S8 that is a Manfroto competitor, but can only find flat base for now. I like Manfrotto so I tend to stick to them (for now) but there does seem to be a big gap between their 'budget friendly like these two in my video, and their slightly more advanced that usually cost double. Their Nitro seems the best but still pricey. Leofoto VT-20 Fluid Video Head with 75mm Half-Ball is another I found - assure your ball head is 75mm (the normal I believe).
