Style: XPRO Fluid Head with Fluidity Selector
I've been searching for a long time for a tripod and video head combo to serve my needs as a dedicated video hobbyist. I ended up pairing this head with a Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 tripod, which I also love. The tripod will be a separate review, but let it suffice to say that if you're in the same quandary trying to find a video head and tripod to work well together, give this a serious look. I'm not a pro, nor anything close, but I do have serious amateur needs for video that sometimes approach (semi-)professional. When I do pans and tilts they need to be smooth and controlled. I had looked at heads such as the Manfrotto 502HD, but I'm using a Canon Vixia HF-G10 and it needed a head for a lighter camcorder. Everything seemed like overkill. I was willing to spend the money, but I wasn't using a 10 lb. video cam. And as you probably already know, finding a good match of head to the camcorder size/weight is important. First of all, don't pair this head with too lightweight of a tripod. Other reviewers have complained that when panning this head will lift the tripod right off the floor. Well, it’s possible. The fluid motion is stiff, but that’s what makes it work so well. You can’t make accidental sudden jerky movements. You need to push from side to side (or up and down), and it needs something to push against. A lightweight tripod just won’t do the trick. I like to grip the rubber grip on the Manfrotto tripod when doing a pan or tilt to make sure that everything stays solid. Learn to do it and you won't have a problem. The fluid motion is gorgeous, especially for its price range. The pan and tilt adjustments can be tweaked, and locked down completely, but it won’t allow you to adjust so loosely that you lose the effectiveness of the fluidity. This is NOT the head that you want if you’re going to be trying to video fast sports action, but it’s perfect for following a speaker, panning nature shots, or the kids at play. For a camcorder the size of my G10, the two-position tilt fluidity selector knob doesn't have a lot of effect. Changing the selection does make a difference, but not dramatically so. But if you were using a DSLR with a longer, heavier lens I'm sure it would be an important adjustment. I use the "short lens" position. The included bubble level is a must, although it’s a little difficult to see. Pack a penlight for low-light situations, or be prepared to use your cell phone's light. When mated with the tripod, the tripod’s level and the head's level were pretty close in agreement, but not exactly. This indicated to me that there may have been some minor machining tolerance matchup problems between the tripod plate and head. However, it was certainly nothing to cause a problem. When setting up, I use the tripod level for gross adjustment (it's easier to see) and then tweak the tripod for final adjustment with the level on the head. There is no level adjustment on the head itself. Don’t pay any attention to the reviewers who say that this head is made of cheap plastic. Manfrotto doesn’t make cheap. The material in question is a polymer. Look it up - it’s much tougher than plastic. No, it’s not a $1000 head, but it’s good quality and with a little common sense will hold up just fine. And the parts that need to be are made of aluminum. You'll appreciate the weight difference. One small complaint is that to adjust the handle position the handle adjustment knob has to be backed off until the meshed teeth disengage completely, and then tightened back down. The teeth lock the handle in place once adjusted, and that’s good. But I leave the head attached to the tripod, so when I go to put it away in the bag I have to loosen and swivel the handle down each time. A quick-release system for the handle would have been nice but I can live with it, and it’s not enough of an issue to deduct points. There’s a quick release plate for the camcorder/camera which I love! I attached the plate to my camcorder and it stays attached. It’s not large at all, in fact it's small. With a couple of minutes of practice you can then learn to hold the camcorder with one or both hands and it just pops into place on the head and locks with a spring action. So smooth! Just be sure to have the latch set in the released position before you go to insert the camcorder/plate. To unlock, press down the spring-loaded safety with the thumb and move the locking release lever with the index finger. Lift out with the other hand, or use two hands. It’s a two-second process. Great job on this one, Manfrotto! Note that most Manfrotto tripods have a set screw under the mounting plate that you can tighten after mounting the head to help assure that the head doesn’t come loose. If you’re going to be leaving the head attached be sure to tighten the set screw to avoid headaches later, since the head just screws onto the ⅜ inch mount. It could come loose during use. While it wouldn’t be likely to just fall off, it would cause serious wobble that might ruin a shot. To sum up, you can put less into a cheap head, but you get what you pay for. You can certainly pay a lot more for semi-pro or pro heads, but if you have a small camcorder and don’t have pro needs, this may be the head for you. It would also work well for video taken with DSLRs.

Style: XPRO 3-Way Head with Retractable Levers
Years ago I got sucked into the "you have to shoot with a ball head" thing. Maybe it's because I grew up with pan & tilt that I never bonded. But, I'm not doing this to make a living, I'm a hobbyist photographer (60 years), so I don't need to work fast. I like working methodically. I like working out a composition like a puzzle. I take my time, scout my subjects, think about what I want to convey about the shoot and then create my images. I like tight comps too so that I'm not throwing pixels away with a cropping tool. The only advantage I can see with ball heads other than size and weight is that they are faster to set up. But, when trying to level a camera for an interior shoot, or trying to nudge the camera ever so slightly, they're a pain. My last ball head was a Manfrotto 469MG Hydrostatic Head, so I'm not talking about cheap, flyweight heads. The pan and tilt is just easier to deal with because you can adjust one plane at a time. A free floating ball head is all but impossible to move in only one plane. I find this pan and tilt head to be useful in doing interiors, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural, panorama and yes, even studio work. So, I purchased the XPRO 3 Way head from Manfrotto as I wanted to go back to what had worked for me in the past. It is sturdy and it is stable. It is designed to hold over 17 pounds and when I mount my camera onto it and tighten things up, nothing moves. No ballhead sag to deal with. While heavier than a ball head, it is still pretty compact and the sliding handles allow it to fit into the same tripod bag that I've been using without having to remove the head. The friction pre-load works well too and aids with accuracy while making small changes. When needed, leveling the camera on this head is a snap. The spirit levels and my internal, electronic leveling system in my camera are in perfect agreement. This isn't as convenient as a geared head for positioning, but it doesn't sag like a ball head and offers more carrying capacity for those of us with heavy lens and camera combos than the geared heads in this price range. There is a lot less to go wrong too. So, this meets my needs and I'm very pleased with the construction and finish. If you're a run and gun shooter, it may not be something that you're going to love. But for me, this is the ticket and if you don't need the quick setup of a ball head, I recommend this highly.

Style: XPRO Geared 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head
I have a Nikon P1000 wich has a 3000mm optical zoom lens and as you would expect, training the camera at 3000mm is a bit of a challenge. This head is perfect for that. It has 3 axis coarse and fine adjustment so you can even set the horizon level which is a great feature. The only drawback is the same with all micro heads that it doesn't do panning and tilting like you woud do in a video as it only has a coarse and fine adjustment. So this (or any micro adjust head) is not a replacement for a fluid head where you would need to pan or tilt more than 10 degrees. However you can use the microadjustment to pan and tilt on a micro basis which is excellent when shooting 3000mm .. much better than a conventional pan and tilt head for that purpose.

Style: XPRO Geared 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head
I put this Manfrotto MHXPRO-3WG geared head on a Manfrotto 190go! 4 section aluminum tripod, and it makes a very stable platform for a Nikon D5000 camera when paired with a Nikon 200-500 telephoto lens. The gears provide the very fine movement needed for composing a shot, while gear release levers allow you to make quick major adjustments as needed. I’ve been very pleased with this head. The ball head that came with tripod is much faster to use with smaller lenses, but not as useful with the big telephoto. The heads can be easily swapped, so I kept the ball head for times when it is the better choice. I also have a Manfrotto 410 Jr geared head mounted on a 055xPro tripod I use with a large spotting scope, so it is worth noting that the MHXPRO-3WG is not as heavy and stable as the 410 Jr. It is however, more than adequate for my use as noted above. In addition, the release levers are much easier to use than the release knobs on the 410.
