Hi,I use Panasonic GS400 right now but want to upgrade to something like VX series.
Would be Manfrotto 501 head enough?I want to be future proof.Or should I spend more on 503??

As for QR plates I'd like to purchase monopod ( I heard 560B is good) and want to use same QR plate as for 501,is that possible or do I need some adapter or maybe another monopod??

thank you

Hi

Just a bit of news on Manfrotto heads : they showed a new version of the 501 head at IBC, called the 501HDV head.

Also they are going to bring out a 503HDV head. I think they are the same heads as 501 and 503 except for a balancing spring or something.

I too am interested in 560B and i sawe one quite positive review of it a few days ago, - i think on this site.
