Connecting Manfrotto MVH500A/AH fluid head and MT190XPRO4 tripod

PeterParkorr

I bought both of these items (the head with half bowl) and they both have a male 3/8" connector...

Not sure how they should attach? The Manfrotto video tripod legs (755XB) also have the same 3/8" attachment I think so unless it is female (and it doesn't look to be), am I missing something?

I thought the half bowl itself would have movement to allow me to level my camera without adjusting tripod legs, but it was rigid so I've reboxed it and returning for the flat base fluid head instead. I guess the flat base means a female 3/8" connector?

Only problem then being I need everything ready for Friday!!

You're New head will work, The one you returned required a tripod with a pot. I have that tripod BTW and use it a lot. It;s a great light unit and the folding neck comes in handy for a lot of things including using with a vertical slider.

Howdy, Stranger!
