Can you level the tripod head itself on the little adapter on top of the slider?

For that you need a bowl riser. Then it's like having another bowl on top of the slider.

Very helpful video. Thanks for making it. I also have a c70 which I use for run and gun. I also have the 501 with a sun hood and it does indeed struggle quite a bit (especially during an Australian summer). Do you have any recommendations for another monitor? Do you think the Indie or the mid-range would be acceptable regarding the additional weight (since they already have battery connections on the back)? Thanks.

My full R6 Mark II rig with handles, mic, V mount battery and the Cine 5 on top is only about 6lbs for the entire rig... works for my needs, and it's the best-looking screen I've ever used for its form factor and size.

What is that accessory under your Mac Studio?

It's the Satechi Stand and Hub designed for the Mac Mini and Mac Studio. I was looking for a cleaner looking USB-C hub to give me some USB-A ports and this fit the bill perfectly and works great. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1809627-REG/satechi_st_gmmshs_stand_hub_with.html

Hi! Thanks for the video 😊. Can I still do pan and tilts with aktiv 8 head when locked off on the slider in your video?

Yes, you can still pan and tilt on the head with the slider locked off. There isn't any play but you'll have to level the entire setup including the slider since you can't level the head independently of the slider without adding an additional leveling base.

hi. great review. I love mine. I shoot surf videos and the brightness is great. I only need 80% brightness and does not need the max brightness. yeah it's heavy and it gets very hot. and quite expensive. I wish they would release software for burano.

It's absolutely a great monitor and seems like a great fit for the Burano or any other similarly sized camera. But it wouldn't be my first choice for a camera like the Canon C70.

What other options would you have to use this head and tripod with a slider? If you didn’t splurge?

What I did before buying the adapter is I used a different tripod for the slider. I still used the Aktiv head on the slider but would move the head back and forth between the Flowtech sticks when I just wanted a tripod or a heavy duty Manfrotto tripod that the slider was mounted to. This worked reasonably well but meant I was carrying two tripods with me on every slider shoot which was annoying. Alternatively you could remove the Aktiv bowl connector from the Flowtech sticks and mount the slider using a standard 75mm ball like this one from Manfrotto. The Aktiv bowl connector takes some adjustment to get it dialed in correctly so it'd be a slow process to switch back and forth. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/553993-REG/Manfrotto_520BALL_520BALL_75mm_Half_Ball.html

Can you level the camera on top of the slider with the Aktiv ball mount? Or is the camera fixed in place on the slider?
@nickhaidet

You cannot level the tripod head on top of the slider. You can level the slider and head as one unit using the Aktiv Slider mount but the head is fixed in place on top of the slider. You could however add a leveling base like the Manfrotto unit below if you needed to level the head independent of slider. Obviously that's an additional cost on an already expensive setup but would work just fine with all of Sachtler gear. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554093-REG/Manfrotto_438_438_Compact_Levelling_Head.html
