Manfrotto MVH504XAH 504X Fluid Video Head with Flat Base

The 504X Fluid Video Head with Flat Base from Manfrotto features an open bridge design that provides a stable, smooth performance while reducing weight. The head's patented bridge technology allows for a wider top surface and longer sliding plate that add stability and balance. The head features a flat base with a 3/8"-16 female mounting thread that allows compatibility with a wide range of tripods, monopods, sliders, jibs, and dollies, and a variety of rigs.

With its ability to support up to 26.5 kg, the 504X can be used with a variety of video and photo cameras and rigs. The pan and tilt counterbalance system includes four presets from 0 to 4.8 to 9.7 to 14.3 kg, enabling proper balance no matter what the camera's size or weight.

At the same time, variable friction controls with clearly marked degree scales and smooth, vibration-free movement offer precise fine-tuning for tilts and pans. A built-in leveling bubble ensures straight horizons, even in low light, while independent disc-brake locks keep the head securely in place when not in motion.

Whether you're using a pro camcorder or an accessorised DSLR, the 504X provides a 504PLONGR-1 sliding quick release plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads to balance the camera properly on your rig. The head is made from durable aluminium and includes a pan bar that can be attached via rosettes on either the right or left side to help create smooth pan-and-tilt movements.
