I'm doing the same thing with a Kirk bridge replacement for my MVH-500AH. I haven't ordered it yet, but will order tomorrow. But this one comes with the shorter 2.6" clamp made for that bridge, fortunately. I'm pretty excited about this because I really hate those long plates on this excellent fluid head.
That short knob of the 2.6" clamp probably prevents the clamp to be mounted in the fore-and-aft direction, and that I guess is the reason why Kirk said it is not compatible.
Hi Alex, Great video very informative of the different solutions for conversation on the Kirk Quick Release Bridge System for the Manfrotto MVH 500 Fluid Video Head. The L bracket you use had issues, with lining up with the Kirk base plate centrepoint, in buying a Kirk smaller base plate. Question if you bought the correct Kirk systems L Bracket for your model camera, would you still have the same issues of centre point alignment ?, with the standard, conversation kit plate which came with the system. Regards Nigel Rand - UK I’m using Nikon Z9, Kirk L Bracket and have a Sony A7RIV with need for, Kirk L Bracket.
Which link is broken? I tried all of them but they seem to be working...The KirK Bridge Adapter I have linked in the description says it's compatible with ONLY the Manfrotto MVH 502AH Fluid Head (not the 500). This adapter, however, says it fits with the Manfrotto MVH 500 Fluid Video Head (www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1494833-REG/kirk_mvh500_bqrv2_quick_release_bridge_system.html)
@@elwelkin The Kirk adapter for the 500 is $145 on their website (not sure about shipping). Part number: MVH500-BQRV2 Does this link work for you? kirkphoto.com/quick-release-clamps.html?id=37&product_list_order=price&product_list_dir=desc, it's second-to-last row on my screen
Awesome video! I'm also converting my 502AH and the info you provide in this very well explained video is what I needed. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I just ordered the bridge for mine off of B&H Photo and I went with the rail system as well.

Niche, but very useful for people like me - many thanks for the video I'm loving the manfrotto with the Kirk upgrade- very cool.
Great and informative, thank you!
Super useful and well put together video. Thanks for doing this!
