You should get the BHL-3, it's the perfect size for 200mm and up. This ball head it's just amazing!

I have Induro BL3 which is a good, robust all around size that can also work for the 500mm (which I have). But I also have the Gimbal Head (Induro GHB 1) that's my favorite for the 500mm.

I know this probably wont help much because I dont know how the 6D compares in size to the 500D but you might know... I bought this for my canon t1i (500D) and i have the battery grip and the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens and there is some room at the end of the lens and the body is a bit loose. When I use the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III there is a tight fit on the lens and of course the body is still a bit loose.

Look at your lens (or Google it) to see the thread count. It should say something like 5.8 or 58 which is 58 mm. Some have 37, some have something different. If you need to use an adapter, you're buying the wrong size (thread count) to begin with. You'll get better picture if you buy proper fitting lenses and avoid adapters.

Use the .25 as the medium and purchase additional thread at your hobby shop size .33mm as the small

My Len size is a 52mm, so I bought a 52mm filter. I didn't need anything special attactment for it. I just screwe it on. Check on your Len to see what size Len you have.

You have to look in the front of your lens ring the diameter size, or sometimes in the back of the lens cup. If that size is 49 mm. it will fit.

I would not suggest hanging a 500mm prime on this head. The head is rated for only 8.8 lbs and most 500 primes weight that and more. If using one of the zooms (150-500 or 600) then it might work still check the weight and I would be uncomfortable to tip the lens in a vertical position. IMHO there are better choices for that lens.

if you look at the front of your lens, around the outside ring of it, it will say the size - so it might say 52mm or 48mm, etc. - it depends on the lens

As stated the smaller one is 50mm the other is 60mm. You may have to trim the excess metal on both to ensure a tight fit

A medium fits my ex500 pretty snugly. I'd go with a large for a 600 cc bike

The largest front diameter this will fit on is 77mm. You will need to get one that will be a minimum of 82 mm so that you can cover the entire front of the lens.

I use a 49mm pinch cap. It's cheap at about $3, and Amazon has several to choose from. Just search "lens cap pinch 49mm".

To be honest I have a 30 mm and it sits just a tad to low for me but I'm pretty tall I would recommend a taller mount just to be safe the 50mm might fit but it would be real close

I'm a Canon guy, But is this is a small sensor camera like a Canon 7D, then the effect will be to extend the reach of the lens. So the 500 mm will be like a 750 mm, but at the other end the 50 mm will act like a 75 mm. So in essence you will have a 75 to 750 mm lens.

Sorry Richard - I do not know about the 500m series units. You may be able to download the dimensions for both units and see if they are the same size.

I am not familiar with the 600mm. I know there is a 650mm The main difference the 500 is a mirror lens and the 650-1300 is more of a conventional lens.

No I would go with a 500mm or 700. Thats what I use for my sons races in motox.
