What changes were made for the newer MT version of this tripod. How are the two different?

The mounting plate, to receive your ball head, is larger with the two bubble levels and they have added an attachment point at the top of the legs for attaching different arms gor reflectors, lights or flashes. That's all I see.

I don't know. I purchased it as a gift for a friend who is starting to get more serious about photography, but hikes a lot. She wanted a fairly lightweight tripod. I will be checking up on how she likes it, and reporting back. I thought of it as a "first" tripod.

I am using the Vivitar version of this and as far as I can see, there is no difference other than the price. I have not only mounted this on a tripod, but also a monopod.

Todd,thanks for going ahead and providing the information even thought the OP is old. very useful for one like myself who recently got interested in the gorillapod and who wants to learn more about what is it and isn't good for. appreciate the tip about the quick-release clip. since I will be using it with the FZ150 it sounds like a good match.

The only difference in the 2 heads is that the 701 is more of a traditional sliding plate design. The 500 has a new "drop-in" design that is supposedly faster. The feet and monopod part of each model are the same. I have the 701 because the 500 wan't released yet and I love it. My entire setup revolves around the sliding plates.

I've not used this tripod, but did have a Mefoto - that one fell apart when trying to extend height.

A co-worker had the earlier model, but based on the description, I purchased this one. The differences are minor but significant enough for me - 1) Slightly better image, 2) More robust built-in stand, 3) Nomex carrying sleeve is included (older model did not). Both models are light in weight and auto-switch from landscape to portrait and back depending on orientation.

Yes you are correct. Its the RAVELLI AVTP Pro 75mm Tripod. Im not sure if you are looking at buying one, or who you are. Its a good tripod, mine was just a flawed unit. Only used it a handful of times and so many things broke on it. So food for thought.

"Old model" refers to the original EOS-M; Canon came out with the EOS-M2, only available in Japan, the M2 is an updated version of the EOS M mirrorless camera, with faster autofocus thanks to the use of a Hybrid CMOS II sensor, as seen in the EOS 100D / SL1.

Apparently the tripods differ because mine is a bower that is good for pics but not video...

I have this plate and the Ravelli AVT tripod also. However, I could use the MH621 on the tripod but couldn't use the Ravelli plates on the MH621. Anyone else have this issue and a fix?

Hello Harry. It seems the tripod has a standard thread so you can swap it with any head of your choosing. Note though, the screw is not the 1/4 inch-20, but the heavier bolt size. The pistol grip will give you super easy 2-axis movement, but the head that is shipped has an excellent panning feature separate from the ball function and the ball has both a locking knob and a friction knob that lets you have fairly fluid 2-axis movement. I'm actually very impressed with this tri/monopod - they surpased my expectation for a Chinese product and it more closely resembles the popular Italian line.

mine was as stiff as a rock and I still haven't been able to loosen it up. You can replace the handle/base/knobs as I used parts from another tripod for preference, but idk if the manufac. offers them.

As far as I know, the scope with a tripod (instead of the rickety tabletop legs) is a different model.

It is not the same. I was going to answer this in much the same way that SoaringBob has. I cannot add anything further than to say it works to adapt my Canon camera to my telescope equipment and agree that it is different from the M42 mount.
