Working Height 3.94 in Review: Perfect for the serious video hobbyist and my Canon Vixia HF G10 - I've been searching for a long time for a tripod and video head combo to serve my needs as a dedicated video hobbyist. I ended up pairing this head with a Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 tripod, which I also love. The tripod will be a separate review, but let it suffice to say that if you're in the same quandary trying to find a video head and tripod to work well together, give this a serious look. I'm not a pro, nor anything close, but I do have serious amateur needs for video that sometimes approach (semi-)professional. When I do pans and tilts they need to be smooth and controlled. I had looked at heads such as the Manfrotto 502HD, but I'm using a Canon Vixia HF-G10 and it needed a head for a lighter camcorder. Everything seemed like overkill. I was willing to spend the money, but I wasn't using a 10 lb. video cam. And as you probably already know, finding a good match of head to the camcorder size/weight is important. First of all, don't pair this head with too lightweight of a tripod. Other reviewers have complained that when panning this head will lift the tripod right off the floor. Well, it’s possible. The fluid motion is stiff, but that’s what makes it work so well. You can’t make accidental sudden jerky movements. You need to push from side to side (or up and down), and it needs something to push against. A lightweight tripod just won’t do the trick. I like to grip the rubber grip on the Manfrotto tripod when doing a pan or tilt to make sure that everything stays solid. Learn to do it and you won't have a problem. The fluid motion is gorgeous, especially for its price range. The pan and tilt adjustments can be tweaked, and locked down completely, but it won’t allow you to adjust so loosely that you lose the effectiveness of the fluidity. This is NOT the head that you want if you’re going to be trying to video fast sports action, but it’s perfect for following a speaker, panning nature shots, or the kids at play. For a camcorder the size of my G10, the two-position tilt fluidity selector knob doesn't have a lot of effect. Changing the selection does make a difference, but not dramatically so. But if you were using a DSLR with a longer, heavier lens I'm sure it would be an important adjustment. I use the "short lens" position. The included bubble level is a must, although it’s a little difficult to see. Pack a penlight for low-light situations, or be prepared to use your cell phone's light. When mated with the tripod, the tripod’s level and the head's level were pretty close in agreement, but not exactly. This indicated to me that there may have been some minor machining tolerance matchup problems between the tripod plate and head. However, it was certainly nothing to cause a problem. When setting up, I use the tripod level for gross adjustment (it's easier to see) and then tweak the tripod for final adjustment with the level on the head. There is no level adjustment on the head itself. Don’t pay any attention to the reviewers who say that this head is made of cheap plastic. Manfrotto doesn’t make cheap. The material in question is a polymer. Look it up - it’s much tougher than plastic. No, it’s not a $1000 head, but it’s good quality and with a little common sense will hold up just fine. And the parts that need to be are made of aluminum. You'll appreciate the weight difference. One small complaint is that to adjust the handle position the handle adjustment knob has to be backed off until the meshed teeth disengage completely, and then tightened back down. The teeth lock the handle in place once adjusted, and that’s good. But I leave the head attached to the tripod, so when I go to put it away in the bag I have to loosen and swivel the handle down each time. A quick-release system for the handle would have been nice but I can live with it, and it’s not enough of an issue to deduct points. There’s a quick release plate for the camcorder/camera which I love! I attached the plate to my camcorder and it stays attached. It’s not large at all, in fact it's small. With a couple of minutes of practice you can then learn to hold the camcorder with one or both hands and it just pops into place on the head and locks with a spring action. So smooth! Just be sure to have the latch set in the released position before you go to insert the camcorder/plate. To unlock, press down the spring-loaded safety with the thumb and move the locking release lever with the index finger. Lift out with the other hand, or use two hands. It’s a two-second process. Great job on this one, Manfrotto! Note that most Manfrotto tripods have a set screw under the mounting plate that you can tighten after mounting the head to help assure that the head doesn’t come loose. If you’re going to be leaving the head attached be sure to tighten the set screw to avoid headaches later, since the head just screws onto the ⅜ inch mount. It could come loose during use. While it wouldn’t be likely to just fall off, it would cause serious wobble that might ruin a shot. To sum up, you can put less into a cheap head, but you get what you pay for. You can certainly pay a lot more for semi-pro or pro heads, but if you have a small camcorder and don’t have pro needs, this may be the head for you. It would also work well for video taken with DSLRs. Review: Best bang for your buck - Manfrotto's hidden gem. You don't hear much about this fluid head but I have owned one for 3 months and can I can honestly tell you that it is pretty good unit. I use it with my Nikon D500 for shooting video and sometime pictures. The MHXPRO-2W works very well in both areas. It is smooth enough to take great videos yet is small enough that you are not lugging around a 4lb monster. I would highly recommend this Fluid head for those on a budget who need a good head for taking pictures and videos and don't have $1K to spend on a Tripod and head. ## Features - Fluid Action - Fluidity selector for hard and soft fluidity - Great for shooting video or spotting scopes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LEWPMXI | | Aspect Ratio | Unknown | | Audio Recording | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #265 in Tripod Heads | | Brand | Manfrotto | | Built-In Media | 1 x MHXPRO-2W | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (191) | | Folded Size | 13.7 inches (l) x 5.3 inches (w) x 4.6 inches (h) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00719821365334 | | Item Weight | 1.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Manfrotto | | Maximum Shutter Speed | 60 Seconds | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 4.5 Kilograms | | Media Type | Video | | Minimum Shutter Speed | 0.02 Seconds | | Model Name | MHXPRO-2W | | UPC | 719821365334 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 year manufacturer | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Manfrotto - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Camera - **Folded Size:** 13.7 inches (l) x 5.3 inches (w) x 4.6 inches (h) - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00719821365334 - **Item Weight:** 1.7 Pounds - **UPC:** 719821365334 ## Images ![XPRO Fluid Head with Fluidity Selector (MHXPRO-2W) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+pKykMlJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is mounting type to a tripod?

Film or Photography *by J***H on June 26, 2017* Everything I needed in a tripod head. I don't have a big camera or heavy lenses so this is just right. I use a Canon 60D and this head has enough resistance to hold it in place. The fluid movement is great and I've used it for many film jobs. I attached it to a Manfrotto 290 Dual tripod with 90 Degree column so I can aim the camera straight down if needed. I'm really enjoying using this. Best tripod and head I've ever owned. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manfrotto XPRO Fluid Head with Fluidity Selector, Professional Tripod Head for Mirrorless, DSLR and Video Camera, for Professional Photography, Content Creation, Vlogging and Videomaking, Payload 5 kg - Manfrotto 290 Xtra 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod - Manfrotto 200PL RC2-System Quick Release Plate with 1/4"-20 Screw and 3/8" Bushing Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/8613462-xpro-fluid-head-with-fluidity-selector-mhxpro-2w](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/8613462-xpro-fluid-head-with-fluidity-selector-mhxpro-2w) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
