Manfrotto 501HDV Pro Video Head

Model No:MN501HDV

Inside the 501HDV is a powerful feature that takes its inspiration from our top professional video head models – a fixed counterbalance spring (set for a typical weight of camera + accessories of 2.5kg) that helps ensure both smoother tilt movements and greater equipment safety even when tilt locks are inadvertently left off. The easy-to-reach on/off switch allows the counterbalance system to be disengaged or re-engaged for different filming setups. This head has much improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow a more solid grip and better fingertip control. The 501HDV has separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system, fl at base (with standard 3/8” thread), quick release camera plate and repositionable pan bar from its successful predecessor.
