iFootage Komodo K5 Video Head

The Manfrotto 500 Fluid Video Head with flat base is lightweight, and built with a wider platform for HDSLR bodies and a sliding plate which travels to balance your camera. It ensures smooth shots and fine control with up to 5kg of equipment.

The head has professional fluid cartridges on both pan and tilt axes to ensure that every camera movement is smooth, controlled and precise. It’s the most compact head in Manfrotto’s successful Bridging Technology™ range.

It comes with a side lock system, allowing the camera and sliding plate to click quickly into the head from above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. The side lock system also makes it quicker and simpler to lift the camera out of the head from above.

The head has a pre-set counterbalance of 2.4kg, but is able to support equipment of up to 5kg. It has one Easy Link 3/8” connector to allow an external monitor or other accessory equipment to be fitted.
The flat base mount with a standard 3/8” thread makes the head versatile for different support combinations (tripod, slider, jib or crane).

Fast set-up, easy handling and beautiful shots guaranteed. The Fluid Video System, Lightweight with Side Lock is the ultimate video system for any professional. Designed to make even the trickiest job a cinch, this clever tripod with fluid video head has everything you need to work to the highest standard, even when you’re under pressure. And it’s super easy to transport. Its smart design includes a side lock feature, enabling you to slot your camera in from the top, rather than the back. This frees you up to get to work fast, and keeps your gear absolutely secure, so there’s no need for a secondary lock.

Fluid cartridges on both pan and tilt axis give you incredibly smooth movements, so jerking from one angle to the next is a thing of the past. Plus, this nifty tripod with fluid video head works with even awkward interchangeable lens cameras, and supports wider HDSLR bodies. It has a pre-set counterbalance of up to 2.4kg, but can support up to 5kg, giving you all the strength you need in a photo head. Not only that, it comes complete with its very own carry case, so you can pack things away in a jiffy at the end of the day.

This essential tripod with fluid video head even comes with a 9.5mm connector to easily pair with accessories, like an external monitor. The functional and innovative aluminium legs make it lightweight and compact when disassembled. When it’s up, secure leg locking keeps everything firmly in place, and rubber feet add to its stability, and a rubber strap secures the tripod once folded away, so you can be sure this handy stand is always safe, whether it’s in use or packed away.

The popular KH series has been updated to provide improvements in the head and adjustments in the tripod height.
Ideal for compact digital video cameras and still cameras with long lenses weighing up to 5kg. This tripod replaces the popular the KH26NL.

The new KH26P features design improvements in the head so it now includes a spring stop pin on the quick release plate to stop the camera from rotating and continuous drag is now adjustable on the horizontal direction.

All the other features you expect from the kits, such as the aluminium bowl with a 60mm diameter and head-mounted bubble level to ensure proper alignment for accurate camera placement and level panning.

An interchangeable pan arm allows both right and left-handed use. The sturdy and lightweight KH26P tripod extends from a minimum height of 75cm to a maximum height of 187.5cm allowing you to handle the camera comfortably.

Twist-lock levers on the dual stage leg system allow you to make specific height adjustments rapidly and easily transport when folded.

The KH series is perfect for students and those learning film making. With the constant growth of  YouTube, Twitch and TikTok videos, the demand for low cost but effective video tripods which deliver stability with smooth movement has never been greater.
