As for mounting, the 500X is optimized for speedy changes—making it a breeze to swap out your tripod head for a slider or other support system. This is thanks to the XCHANGE mount system that offers a secure quick release mechanism for the head. The 500X will also work on any tripod legs that support its 60mm flat base with a 3/8″16 thread.
Additionally, the 500X has some basic conveniences, such as a standard 501PL-compatible quick release system for your camera and a built-in bubble level to ensure straight horizons.
