iFootage Komodo K5 Video Head

504X fluid video head is the evolution of the hugely successful 504HD.
It’s a more compact and lighter version that finally comes with flat base (base diameter 75 mm), developed to meet the needs of the most demanding videographers.

The head is made from a brand-new catching aluminium design, and has a maximum payload of 12kg.

Utilising Manfrotto’s new fluid technology, the camera head allows you to capture judder-free smooth motion pans and tilts. It’s never been easier for the operator to create premium-quality video capture, thanks to a 4-step counterbalance system which can carry payloads of up to 6.5 kg at 55mm C.0.G. That makes using a wide range of different cameras easier and more practical.

Two easy link 3/8” thread connections allow an external monitor or other accessory equipment to be fitted on the head side. On the left side there is a cap cover on the 3/8” easy link connector to avoid cutting during usage.

The sliding-plate side-lock attachment enables quicker set up of the camera, keeping video equipment stable and balanced. Head leveling is simple thanks to the clever backlit levelling bubble.

The MVK502AM-1 Manfrotto video system features the 502 fluid video head with incorporated 75mm half ball, the MVT502AM professional aluminium twin leg tripod with middle spreader, and padded carry bag.

The head features a variable fluid drag system in both pan and tilt movements and fixed counterbalance system of 4kg and can support up to 7kg. Easy link connectors gives you the freedom to connect gear like an external monitor in a jiffy.

The Manfrotto MVT502AM is a lightweight video tripod that features telescopic twin-leg structure made of elliptical aluminium tubes that help reduce torsion and it includes a fixed mid-level spreader for increased rigidity and faster set-up. The 2-stage/3-section MVT502AM has a 75mm bowl that perfectly fit the head.

Manfrotto’s Befree Live is the most compact travel video tripod kit, dedicated to hobbyist videographers and vloggers who want maximum performance, even when they are on the go. It is easy to carry everywhere thanks to its compact size and it fulfils an increasing demand from independent content creators for a lightweight, ergonomic travel tripod that is easy-to-carry for video recording with DSLRs, compact system cameras or small camcorders.
It features a tripod spider developed to keep cameras perfectly stable on all types of terrain, including the most uneven, always keeping the camera completely steady and ready to capture amazing video footage.

This model introduces a new locking system called the M-lock, the new twist lock developed by Manfrotto to fully satisfy everyone looking for a fast, easy to use, compact solution. Moreover, the M-Lock has no protruding parts, and its mechanism closes perfectly around the head, enabling the Befree Live to slip into and out of its storage pocket effortlessly. 

Its ergonomic leg-angle selector is designed to be used by both right and left-handed videographers, enabling everyone to change shooting perspectives intuitively and to find the right tripod height without losing focus on the shot they want to achieve.

The Befree Live can easily be set to three independent leg angle positions, guaranteeing full shooting versatility for all the creative ideas that can emerge outdoors.

The spider featured on this innovative model also provides an Easy Link, just like Manfrotto’s professional 190 & 055 tripods, allowing videographers to enhance their creativity by adding accessories that make their footage unique and unforgettable. If you like adding lights or reflectors, you can now catch amazing outdoor footage that was previously only achievable with heavy accessorized tripods.

The Befree Live’s small size does not mean compromising on sturdiness or image quality. This solution guarantees very smooth movements thanks to the Befree Live Fluid Head, which features a fluid drag system on pan and tilt and keeps your camera perfectly balanced thanks to its sliding video plate.

Easy to use and set up, the Befree Live Fluid Head is provided with two intuitive on/off knobs that lock and unlock the head’s pan and tilt movements separately.

This lightweight travel video tripod is the optimal combination of portability, solidity, easy set-up and operation.  It is built with the unique goal of enabling individuals to express their nature using their camera with the confidence of being supported by a professional solution. Befree Live is available in black.
