The Manfrotto 500X fluid head is designed for mirrorless camera users who demand precision, versatility, and seamless control. As part of Manfrotto’s Bridging Technology range, it delivers the perfect balance of innovation and reliability. Whether capturing cinematic video or social media content, the 500X hinged plate makes it effortless to switch between landscape and portrait formats—giving you the flexibility to shoot the way you want.
Every movement counts. The Fluid Drag System (FDS) on both pan and tilt ensures buttery-smooth, shake-free footage, so you can capture professional results straight out of the camera. If greater camera control is needed just engage the built-in Counterbalance System (CBS), optimized at 2.4 kg @55mm C.O.G., to keep your camera balanced. With 500X, you’re always in control—no second takes, no wasted time.
The 500X head is all about making your creative process seamless. The intuitive 501PL sliding plate with a side-lock mechanism lets you mount your camera from above—securely and in seconds. No more struggling with awkward setups—just click in and start creating.
Adapt to any shooting setup effortlessly. The 500X features a 60mm flat base, fully compatible with Manfrotto’s Xchange quick-release system, making transitions between rigs smooth and hassle-free. Switch between tripods, sliders, and other supports without missing a beat, ensuring your workflow remains uninterrupted and efficient.
Vertical content is more important than ever, and the 500X makes shooting in portrait mode seamless. The head’s innovative design allows for a quick and secure 90-degree tilt, ensuring effortless transitions between traditional and vertical formats—ideal for social media creators, vloggers, and anyone producing mobile-first content.
A built-in levelling bubble helps you achieve flawless framing with precision, so your shots are always balanced and professional. Whether you’re setting up a sweeping pan or a locked-off portrait shot, the 500X delivers consistency and reliability.
The Manfrotto ONE Hybrid aluminium tripod is designed for creators who need to capture both stunning photos and cinematic video—without carrying two separate tripods. By combining the best features of dedicated photo and video tripods into one seamless system, ONE lets you switch effortlessly between stills and motion, so you can focus on creating.
Designed and built in Italy, ONE combines exceptional functionality with timeless design. This is not just a tool—it’s a statement of your commitment to creativity and quality.
Traditional photo tripods prioritise stability, while video tripods are built to resist twisting for smooth, controlled shots. ONE introduces a unique new non-round leg shape designed to deliver the best of both worlds—perfectly rigid for sharp photos, with exceptional torsional resistance for smooth panning shots from start to end.
Deploy all leg sections in a single, swift motion for rapid setup with the patented XTEND mechanism. This time-saving feature means less time adjusting and more time to focus on capturing stunning shots and video footage. Adjustable leg angles and modular feet ensure stability on any terrain, whether you’re in a studio or shooting on location. The feet can also be removed to reveal spiked feet, providing extra grip on uneven or slippery surfaces - so when inspiration strikes, you’ll be ready to create without delay.
