Sliding plate for 502HD & 701HDV
Hi all,
Can anybody confirm that the Manfrotto 701HDV and 502HD heads will accept the same sliding plates? I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new tripod and monopod combo for DSLR shooting. I'lm planning on purchasing a few extra plates as well so I have one for each camera or telelphoto lens, and it wasn't until I went looking for the correct sliding plate that it even occured to me that these heads might accept different ones. After no definitive answers could be found on the B & H product pages, I did a quick google and came up stumps. So is anybody able to confirm whether or not they will work with interchangeable plates? |

Re: Sliding plate for 502HD & 701HDV
Manfrotto's website shows they are different sizes.
The 502HD uses the 504PLong plate: 10.7mm (H) x 50mm (W) x 140mm (L) The 701HDV uses the 501PL plate: 11mm (H) x 38mm (W) x 86mm (L) |
