Over the years i have collected a few tripods and tripod heads be the fluid head or pistol grip or geared typeds.
One issue is the thread size linking both head and tripod together . Some threads are 1/4" and others 3/8" . so in the past have bought one or these
does the job of reducing thread size but tends to lock up under the tripod head and the devil to remove usually having to use grips
So just bought and should be here tomorrow one of these instead to see it it is any better.
The manfrotto 055xprob head I want to put it on as it can be fixed by 3 retaining screws undenearth
What I really want to do is put on this fluid head by anorher make , a lot cheaper than the manfrotto version and saved from a scrap tripod but the fixing thread different size
When the new part arrives the manfrotto tripod is absolutely rock solid against the lighter portable other ones so this combo should be a lot better. the manfrotto version i have is the old one so manfrotto don’t make heads for it any more
