Designed to meet the needs of modern content creators, the Manfrotto 500X Fluid Head bridges the gap between stills and video technology to create an all-in-one solution for both photography and filmmaking.
The 500X's highlight feature is the ability to quickly change from landscape to portrait orientation without having to remove your camera. This is ideal for creators who frequently need to capture content in various formats for their projects and social media posts. It will support many common hybrid camera rigs weighing up to 5 kgs.
Featuring a Fluid Drag System (FDS) for both pan and tilt movements will help guarantee smooth, professional-looking video. There is also a built-in Counterbalance System that will help provide more control over your camera system.
As for mounting, the 500X is optimised 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, which 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.
