Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Works for both videos and stills

The video head works extremely well with heavy telephoto lenses I use for surfing photography, as well as with my Canon XL-1 video camera. Smooth, fluid motion makes following the action easy and accurate.

Works for both videos and stills

The video head works extremely well with heavy telephoto lenses I use for surfing photography, as well as with my Canon XL-1 video camera. Smooth, fluid motion makes following the action easy and accurate.

Designed to support the latest professional digital video cameras. Particular care has been taken to achieve the best combination between fluid and friction to allow the smoothest possible pans and tilts. The head is also equipped with a built in balance spring to help to support the camera weight.

The 503 head has the best Price/Performance ratio of any fluid head on the market today. Designed for payloads up to an ample 13 lbs. The light but positive fluid movement provides exceptionally smooth control. The new drag adjustment device is continuous, from 0 to maximum level, allowing very fine control of the movements.

The 503 Pro Video Head also features a quick-release sliding plate with VHS pin, a single pan handle and a flat base with 3/8" tripod mount.

Manfrotto 503 Fluid Tripod Head Features

  • Quick-release sliding plate with VHS pin, a single pan handle and a flat base with 3/8" tripod mount.
  • Adjustable tilt friction knob. Pan handle can be mounted left or right. Optional second handle is available.
  • Adjustable pan friction control. Separate pan and tilt locks, built-in spirit level
