32 customers mention10 positive22 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the tilt of the camera support. Some mention that it allows for smooth tilt and pan, and the counter balance and adjustable tilt drag are great features. Others say that the head does keep tilting forward, the gears lock it from rotation, and it goes down forward by itself when not tight. Some complain that the 360-degree turning was not smooth and felt a bit jerky, and there is no adjustable counter balance or pan or tilt friction.

"...Comparatively though, the head was too large and the tripod lost some of its stability, so I ended up purchasing a smaller sized pair of multistage..." Read more

More than I was expecting
4 Stars
More than I was expecting
I've had a Manfrotto 546b tripod with a 501 head for about 10 years now, but I've got some upcoming project that will require a compact setup for ease of travel...So I bought a Smallrig tripod with a TINY fluid head.The head was impressive for what it was, but there was no way I felt comfortable with supporting the weight of my BMPCC4K, aluminum cage, rod system, follow focus, monitor, and V-Mount battery. Plus, the SmallRig had an Arca Swiss plate, which would require me to switch out regularly when going back and forth between tripods and gimbal.Enter the Avella v501. Compact, lightweight, uses standard Manfrotto plates like all my stuff, and is pretty darn good for what you pay.I'm really impressed with the size and stability.There are a few complaints that I'd read about it having no drag controls for tilt and pan, (just the friction locks,) and that the balance spring is a little bit overpowered. But it's absolutely fine for my needs, as I tend to leave my drag controls fairly loose anyway, and never really walk away from the camera unless it's locked down.Is it as good as my Manfrotto 501 head? It's certainly not as feature rich, but when you compare the footage shot with both, you can't see a difference...and that's where the rubber meets the road. AND it's just a great little tool to have when I need to be a little more portable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Impressive for Price but Flawed
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019
This is easily the best value video fluid head available. My Konova fluid head was slipping with every pan or tilt and became unusable. I was quickly looking for a replacement. I couldn't find a video review for this fluid head anywhere but decided to try it out anyway. The build quality is truly great, somewhat similar to Manfrotto. The head is pretty small though so I would recommend only using it with a large DSLR, at most. While it claims to support up to 11 lbs, the small design isn't suitable for something large or bulky.

On that note, the biggest weakness of the head is its counterbalance feature. The head, without anything on it, tilts downward at about a 20-25 degree angle. This makes it impossible to keep the camera balanced without using a longer camera plate to offset the camera further back. I sent my first one back because the tilt was too aggressive, the second one is still bad but not as much. I intend to keep it anyway because it works well: panning and tilting is very smooth and the build quality is excellent.

Pros:
- smooth pan and tilt
- excellent build quality
- amazing value for the price
- the handle has a texturized rubber grip

Con
- head tilts forward in its resting position, makes balancing the camera difficult
- there is no friction control for tilting
- camera plate doesn't slide in and out as smoothly as it should

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected and dual purpose too.
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2019
My intended purpose for this Video Camera Tripod Fluid Drag Pan Head was to improve my hobby of video recording missile launches at Vandenberg Air Force Base. After receiving the pan head, I immediately realized I could use it for the rifle that I use for preditor night hunting.

As mentioned in other reviews, the pan head 360-degree turning was not smooth and felt a bit jerky. However, I was able to eliminate that problem, and now it is pretty smooth if not perfect. However, I never handled another name brand to compare it with.

The 360-degree turning pan head fix. During watching a one-hour TV show, I would tighten the pan locking lever as tight as possible, without feeling I was going to break it, in multiple positions. By the end of the TV show, the jerky feeling was completely gone. I am delighted with my purchase, and I don't think I'd be any better off with a more expensive brand.

The Quick Release Plate Locking Lever has been improved. It only requires about 1/4 turn to lock the plate in place.

The other feature that came in handy was the inclusion of the 3/8 inch Extended Interface. The threaded mounting hole made it possible to attach a light mounting bracket. I created it to attach my Predator Tactics Coyote Reaper Predator Hunting XXL Rifle Light to.

I recommend this product.
