  photo and/or video head for slider

  Posted by Lynn Weissman on September 16, 2014 at 12:59 pm

  Hi, All,

  I have a Rhino Slider Kit (2ft and 4ft), and I am exploring options for which video and or photo head(s)and mounting options to use.

  Has anyone used thw Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5, which is BOTH a photo and video head? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/760106-REG/Manfrotto_MH055M8_Q5_MH055M8_Q5_Photo_Movie_Tripod_Head.html

  Some reviews do not look great for smooth video moves, but some reviews are happy. Thought I’d ask on this forum.

  Does anyone have other recommendations for a video head and/or photo head for a slider?

  I have a 503HDV head right now, but it’s generally on my tripod, and I might like to keep a separate head just devoted to my slider kit – so I am more likely to use the slider.

  Thanks!
