Manfrotto 501HDV

Inside the 501HDV is a powerful feature that takes its inspiration from Manfrotto's 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. But from the outside, the first thing that you’ll notice about the 501HDV video head is its design – completely ergonomic with locks and knobs that allow a more solid grip and better fingertip control. The 501HDV provides separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system, flat base (with standard 3/8” thread), quick release camera plate and reposition pan bar.
