Overview
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.
Core Features
Precision & Versatility for Content Creators
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 often need to capture different formats for their project and social media posts. It will support many common hybrid camera rigs weighing up to 5 kg.
Smooth Movements
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.
XCHANGE System
As for mounting, the 500X is optimized 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 that offers a secure quick release mechanism for the head. The 500X will also work on any tripod legs that support its 60 mm 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.
