Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do all three legs have to be adjusted to the same height or can 1-2 legs be set to a different height?

A: The legs do not have to be adjusted to the same height.

Q: 2. Can the feet come off?

A: Yes. The feet can come off this tripod system. The Viltrox VX-18M Heavy-Duty Video Tripod with VT-01 Fluid Head BH #VIVX18M • MFR #VX-18M

Q: 3. I have a slider one V2 from edelkrone and headone. Will this be able to support the weight shift as the slider moves from point A to point B?

A: Yes, according to the specs of the slider and the tripod it should hold the weight. I would recommend putting sand bags on the spreader of the tripod for more stability.

Q: 4. What is the weight copacity of the HD 500 Tri pod?

A: 50 Pounds/22.68 Kilograms

Q: 5. Would two of these be able to support a camera slider like a magic carpet pro? More-so the legs not the head?

A: Yes, you will be able to use the Syrp Magic Carpet PRO sliders with the Viltrox VX-18M Tripod.

Q: 6. is the tripod head removable?

A: It is not removable in the conventional sense, but it can be deconstructed although I would not recommend that. If you need to dismount the head, I would recommend instead purchasing a Hi-Hat Riser and a separate fluid head as I did to solve my problem. I use the Hi-Hat Riser with fluid head secured to the church's balcony rail for church services and the intact tripod for outside and chapel use where there is no balcony. I purchased both from B&H and they are working wonderfully well. The B&H technicians advised me which items to purchase and they were spot on. Hope this helps...

Q: 7. Is the quick release assembly removable? If I want to replace it with the Manfrotto 323 RC2 System Quick Release Adapter with 200PL-14 Plate would it be possible?

A: The head assembly is non-removable. You can not replace it with any other adapter.

Q: 8. Is the head really fluid, i like my videos to be smooth?

A: Yes it's very smooth, great pan/tilt quality for video.(Just know it has no counterbalance, so if your camera isn't evenly balanced, it may move when you let go of the handle.Not really a problem for me, I just lock the pan/tilt whenever my hand isn't on the handle.)

Q: 9. I need replacement quick release plate for this model. Where can I find it? Thanks

A: The Manfrotto 501PL Sliding Quick Release Plate with 1/4"-20 Screw, B&H # MA501PL, would be a compatible quick release plate for the Viltrox VX-18M Heavy-Duty Video Tripod with VT-01 Fluid Head.

Q: 10. Can I replace the head? If not, do you sell this model with the sticks only?

A: The head of the Magnus VT-350 Video Tripod with Fluid Head is not removable from the tripod legs. Also, the legs are not sold separately.

[Yes] If you have used SmallRig gear... you know what to expect.

[+90° to -75°] Very sturdy and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fluid head that came with it. Works perfect with my heaviest cameras on my teleprompter and also works great as a nice set of sticks for everyday use.

[Yes: Removable] So far it's very solid of a tripod. The fluid head is pretty smooth compared to the manfrotto 501. Definitely worth the price!! I'm super happy with it.

[Yes] Got this on sale for a relatively low price, but even this is a great price on a great tripod.

[+90° to -75°] I bought this tripod to help me shoot weddings, so far up to . This tripod finally retired my 10+ year old Magnus VT-4000, which was a major upgrade. Much lighter. Easier to release the legs. The feet are nothing special but thats a good thing. They work on all terrains well. The tripod head is smooth and I like the locks. Although this is not a true fluid head with multi-step locks, it is still great for the price. If I could I would give this 4.5 stars instead of a full 5. For the price, this tripod comes in at a great value. And I'm considering buying one more for my wedding purposes. I'd be replacing a Magnus VT-5000, which is much heavier and much more annoying to deploy. But my one gripe is when it is fully extended, even at my height of 6'1 , it is very hard to read the bubble level, which when moving quickly can be a bit of an issue. I would've made it readable from the side too, but that probably would've added to the price.

[Proprietary] Great, exactly what I expected! Good quality, solid. Can't beat the price, better than Manfrotto for the same amount.

[Yes] ok, I'm a complete amateur and just getting started in video. I have done lots of real estate photography. This tripod seems to be wonderful. AND! I can afford it. Holds my 13 pound setup just fine. I love it.

[Fluid Head] Great on the go tripod, especially for this price!

[Yes] There's a gap between $500-600 tripods and $2000 tripods when it comes to handling a 20 pound teleprompter with a 5-10 pound camera. This fills the bill.

But, it's slow to arrive-- Prompter people isn't great with inventory.
