Manfrotto MVH500AH Fluid Video Head with Flat Base -
Reg $199 Sale $169 - in stock - sale ends
Feb 20
Smaller than the 502 head, but larger
than the 701HDV head, the 500 head is perfect to shoot video
for DSLRs and smaller video cameras. Very similar to the old
501 head in size and features. The 500 utilizes the Bridging
Technology used in their larger heads. Uses fluid cartridges
on both pan and tilt. The quick release plate is longer than
the one used in the 701HDV/501/501HDV/503 heads, but is the
same width, so it is completely compatible with the 501PL plate.
One change - it is now a side-load operation instead of sliding
in from the back. Single counterbalance setting, not adjustable.
The 500 head has one 3/8" connector
on the side to allow an arm to be attached, for a monitor,
light, or microphone. Has a flat base with 3/8" hole, so it can
be attached to any tripod legs, slider or monopod. Max
Load Capacity - 5 kg. Has a bubble level.

(3/8" connection for standard Manfrotto legs) Full smoothness control
while shooting thanks to the variable fluid mechanisms. Ideal
for latest camcorder and HDSLR cameras supplied with external
accessories. The head can be combined with all photo tripods,
thanks to the 3/8” female
thread. Spring loaded counter balance. Weight 1.6 K, Working
Height 13 cm. Max Load Capacity - 7 kg.
Manfrotto 504HD Fluid Video Head - $499 - special order
(Please not that this head will only work with legs that can take
the built-in 75mm ball mount such as 525 MV, etc.)
With its ability to support up to 16.5 lbs, the 504HD can be used
with a variety of video and photo cameras. The newly designed counterbalance
system includes four presets--from 0 to 16.5 lbs--enabling proper balance
no matter what the camera's size or weight. Redesigned variable friction
components--with clearly marked degree scales and vibration-free movement--bring
new levels of fine tuning to your tilts and pans. An illuminated leveling
bubble keeps horizons from tilting, even in the dark, while independent
disc-brake locks make sure the head stays secure when at rest. Whether
you're using a pro camcorder or a highly accessorized video DSLR on
a rod/rail system, the 504HD takes some of the strain off your support
rig by providing two 3/8 " threads integrated into the sides
of the top plate. These Easy Link Connectors allow attachment of monitors,
arms, and other accessories directly to the head, making the camera
less top-heavy while reducing setup time. Weight: 6.39 lbs (2.9kg).
Max Load: 16.5 lbs (7.5kg). Diameter/Thread: 75mm 3/8" Half Ball.
Pan Range 360°.
