I'm trying to figure out which one to get, For video I hear positives/negatives about each from different people/forums/etc Hey Paul,

Have you ever tried a Sachtler or a Vinten head? I’m trying to figure out which one to get, For video I hear positives/negatives about each from different people/forums/etc

It's very difficult for me to recommend a video head for your tripod because I've always used a dedicated video tripod and not a still tripod as you describe. There certainly are video heads available from Manfrotto that would fit your tripod though so I would recommend trying either the <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2298&awinaffid=104944&clickref=501HDV&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.warehouseexpress.com%2Fbuy-manfrotto-501hdv-pro-video-head%2Fp1017661" rel="nofollow">501HDV</a> which you may find too bulky for your tripod or the <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2298&awinaffid=104944&clickref=501HDV&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.warehouseexpress.com%2Fbuy-manfrotto-701hdv-pro-fluid-video-head%2Fp1028570" rel="nofollow">701HDV</a> which is a bit smaller but has a lower weight capacity. It depends how much you want to load your camera up really. Hi Ben.

It’s very difficult for me to recommend a video head for your tripod because I’ve always used a dedicated video tripod and not a still tripod as you describe. There certainly are video heads available from Manfrotto that would fit your tripod though so I would recommend trying either the 501HDV which you may find too bulky for your tripod or the 701HDV which is a bit smaller but has a lower weight capacity. It depends how much you want to load your camera up really.

I have a Manfrotto 190XB Pro and wondered what head you might recommend for a dSLR for video work? I have just invested in a 550d. All thoughts welcome. Ben Hello Paul,

I have a Manfrotto 190XB Pro and wondered what head you might recommend for a dSLR for video work? I have just invested in a 550d. All thoughts welcome.
