Bogen 515 100mm Bowl Question

[andymerrick]

First post here at dvxuser. Have been helped so much by the collective knowledge here! Bought an HPX170 and a bunch of gear on recommendation/info in these forums!

I haven't been able to find an answer for this anywhere. I bought a tripod and head (Bogen 515/516). I didn't realize that the half ball didn't come with the tripod. Exactly what do I need to get the head mounted onto the legs? Can someone provide a part number or link to the item I need?

Thanks a bunch!

I got the 525 legs(tripod) ,it comes with a spreader and 516 head and bag . from B&H.

This was for my HMC 150.

So did the half ball for the bowl come WITH the tripod? That's not a piece I have so I'm wondering what else I need in order to get the head mounted to the legs.

yes it did ,I cant find the kit on B&H anymore but it cost around 1100-1300 USD Total

516 head - 2 handles - quick release plate
100mm half ball :)
525 legs with spreader.
and bag...
