Manfrotto Head Pro Video 502AH Flat Base

Have total freedom to capture the perfect shot. The ingenious Professional Fluid Video System, Aluminium with Sliding Plate makes your job even easier, thanks to its long list of intuitive design features and high-functioning capabilities. This clever tripod with fluid video head gives you professional quality pan and tilt, extra easy set up, and the freedom to collapse and tidy away into a neat, compact package when you’re done.

This clever piece of kit consists of a fluid video head, and a pro video tripod with a mid-level spreader, giving you everything you need in one box. The mount features a 75mm half ball, so you’ll be able to get into the perfect position in a jiffy. Versatile and smart, this tripod with fluid video head can even support wider HDSLR and interchangeable lens cameras. The fluid drag system counterbalances loads up to 4kg, but it’s capable of holding normal loads up to 7kg, so you’ll never have to worry about wobbling from one angle to the next, whatever equipment you’re using.

Linking your photo head to accessories like external monitors, lights and microphones is a doddle too. Two easy link connectors give you the flexibility to attach whatever the job demands. And when the mount is up, it’s totally secure. It can support up to 20kg, making it super strong, all down to its die cast aluminium crown, and rigid two-stage design. The legs lock firmly in place at just a flick of a handle, spiked rubber feet and rubber overshoes keep a steady grip even on tricky terrain, and it’s versatile enough to pair with a number of different dollies.

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.
