Overall a very solid choice

This a very solid tripod. Works well with my Pocket 6k Pro rig. The only thing I don?t really like about it is the placement of the pan lock and tilt lock. The Pan lock should be on the left side and the drag should be on the right. I?m sure left handed people have no complaints but the other 95% of the world would appreciate the swap. The pan lock is just in a weird place but I don?t use the pan lock as much as I use the tilt lock. The quality of the fluid head is great. It?s built very solidly and the drag is smooth. There was a point where I was hearing an occasionally popping sound when adjusting the tilt drag but the sound is gone now. I absolutely love how lightweight and compact the legs are. Very easy to travel with. If your looking to upgrade from your cheap Amazon tripod and get something a bit more pro, this is a good option for the price.

Great tripod

By Jesse A.

My new favorite!

When seeking professional-grade video equipment, the Manfrotto 502HD Pro Video Head with Flat Base (3/8"-16 Connection) stands out as a top-tier choice. This advanced model, a significant upgrade from the popular 501HDV, boasts robust construction and Manfrotto's patented bridging technology, a feature inherited from the esteemed 509HD and 504HD heads.

Designed specifically for creating cinematic movements with compact camcorders and DSLR video cameras, the 502HD is available in two versions: the "AH" flat-base version, which is the model in question, and the "A" ball-base version, available separately.

With a weight capacity of 15.4 lbs and counterbalance support for 8.8 lbs, this video head is capable of handling uneven payloads, a common issue when using matte boxes or unique DSLR rig configurations. The balance plate's 3.27" range further enhances its adaptability.

The Manfrotto 502HD Pro Video Head's bridging technology ensures the pan friction control is not only intuitive and easy to set but also safeguarded against potential damage. Independent locks for pan and tilt, along with selectable drag in a continuous range from zero to the maximum level, provide you with the confidence and smooth operation you need for professional video shooting.

The 502HD offers full smoothness control during shooting, thanks to its variable fluid mechanisms. This makes it an ideal choice for the latest camcorder and HDSLR cameras equipped with external accessories (up to 4kg max capacity).

Thanks to its 3/8" female thread, this video head can be seamlessly combined with all photo tripods, enhancing its versatility. Experience the difference in quality and control with the Manfrotto 502HD Pro Video Head with Flat Base.
