Manfrotto MVK500AQ Digital/film cameras Black tripod

500 Aluminum Single Leg Video system The MVK500AQ fluid video system includes: 500 fluid video head with flat base (MVH500AH), 60 mm half ball, and aluminum single leg tripod (MVT535AQ) . The system is supplied with a padded carrying bag.

The MVH500AH is a fluid video head with a wider platform for HDSLR bodies. It has a sliding plate which travels to balance the latest interchangeable lens cameras. It’s the most compact head in our successful Bridging Technology™ range.

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 it can 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. The head has a flat base tripod mount for attachment to a hybrid photo/video tripod, a traditional photo tripod, slider, a monopod or other supports.

The MVH500AH attaches to the tripod thanks to the 60 mm half ball and the MVA060T adapter included in the system.

The MVT535AQ aluminum single leg tripod features 4 Sections and a 75mm half bowl. It also includes the MVA060T adapter that converts the 75mm into a 60mm half bowl. It is a sturdy and reliable solution, compact and easy to use. The 535’s leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently set quickly and easily (3 steps: 23°-50°-70°). The key feature of this tripod is its flexibility in terms of operating height (from 22.8 cm/8.9 in up to 171cm/67.3in).
