The MVH500AH is a lightweight head with a wider platform
for HDSLR bodies which has a sliding plate which travels to balance the latest
interchangeable lens cameras. The entry-level 500 ensures smooth shots and fine
control with up to 5kg (11lbs) of equipment. It’s the most compact head in our
successful Bridging Technology™ range and it replaces the Manfrotto 701HDV
video head.
Beautifully smooth shots: the 500 has professional fluid
cartridges on both pan and tilt axes to ensure that every camera movement is
smooth, controlled and precise.
Faster, easier and safer to use: the side lock system
allows the camera and sliding QR plate to click quickly into the head from
above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. No secondary
safety lock is necessary. The side lock system also makes it quicker and
simpler to lift the camera out of the head from above.
The 500 has a pre-set counterbalance of 2.4kg (5.3 lbs),
but is able to support equipment of up to 5kg (11 lbs). The 500 has one Easy
Link 3/8” connector to allow an external monitor or other accessory equipment
to be fitted. MVH500AH head with flat base tripod mount for attachment to a
hybrid photo/video tripod, a traditional photo tripod, slider, a monopod or
other supports.
