Manfrotto Head Pro Video 502AH Flat Base

The perfect tripod with head kit for budding videographers. You can’t go wrong with the intuitive 290 Xtra Alu 3-Section Tripod Kit with 128RC Fluid Head set. Everything you need is in one neat package, compact, easy to carry with its very own made-to-measure shoulder bag, and incredibly versatile. This tripod with head kit really is a must-have for any photographer looking for a product that will stand the test of time.

Great design touches include a 3-section tripod with aluminium leg tubes. This makes them both durable and light enough to carry without hassle. The top casting is high-performing and rigid, so you know it’ll work under pressure, while aluminium leg locking levers are tension adjustable. This means you can tweak them as time goes on to counteract wear and tear, and keep a firm grip even after heavy use. When you’re using this super-smart tripod there are 4 leg angle positions to get the perfect shot, and a centre column extends to add height where you need it.

This innovative tripod with head set wouldn’t be complete without a camera head. A lightweight fluid head allows you to easily pan from one angle to the next. It has a must-have quick release plate for added security, keeping your gear locked down and totally safe. You can easily lock your tilt position then fluidly move from one position to the next when you release. Plus, this clever photo head can support up to 4kg.

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 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).
