About Manfrotto 500X WITH TWIN LEG TRIPOD

The Perfect Duo for Content Creators

The Manfrotto 500X fluid head and MVT502AM tripod are the ultimate combination for content creators seeking precision, versatility, and ease of use.

Precision and Versatility for Content Creators

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.

Silky-Smooth Motion, Effortless Control

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.

Fast, Reliable, and Ready to Create

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.

Seamless Transitions with Xchange

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.

Perfect for Social Media Creators

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.

Perfectly Aligned, Every Time

A built-in leveling 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.

Sturdy Support with the MVT502AM Tripod

Complementing the 500X fluid head is the Manfrotto MVT502AM tripod, a lightweight yet sturdy support system. Its telescopic twin-leg structure, made of aluminum tubes, reduces torsion and includes a fixed mid-level spreader for increased rigidity and faster setup. High-grip rubber feet provide a steady and firm basis, ensuring stability for your shots.

Quick and Easy Setup

The 2-stage/3-section MVT502AM tripod features a 75mm bowl (with a 60mm adapter) for greater compatibility. This versatile tripod is quick, simple, and smooth to set up, thanks in part to the leg locking levers.

Partners in Your Artistic Endeavors

Together, the Manfrotto 500X fluid head and MVT502AM tripod are not just pieces of equipment-they are partners helping you bring your vision to life with ease and precision. Every detail is crafted to enhance your creative journey, allowing you to capture the moments that matter most.

A padded carrying bag is supplied for easy transportation.
