Manfrotto MVH502AH Pro Video Head w/Flat Base W/Manfrotto 190X 3 Section Tripod

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.
