The Manfrotto

500 Fluid Video Head with flat base

is lightweight, and built with a wider platform for HDSLR bodies and a sliding plate which travels to balance your camera. It ensures smooth shots and fine control with up to 5kg of equipment.



The head has professional

fluid cartridges

on both pan and tilt axes to ensure that every camera movement is smooth, controlled and precise. It's the most compact head in Manfrotto's successful Bridging Technology„¢ range.



It comes with a

side lock system

, allowing the camera and sliding plate to click quickly into the head from above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. The side lock system also makes it quicker and simpler to lift the camera out of the head from above.



The head has a

pre-set counterbalance

of 2.4kg, but is able to support equipment of up to 5kg. It has one

Easy Link 3/8'' connector

to allow an external monitor or other accessory equipment to be fitted.


The

flat base mount

with a standard 3/8'' thread makes the head versatile for different support combinations (tripod, slider, jib or crane).

Natalie ★★★★★

Switching to this flat base head was a game-changer for my tripod setup—the wider platform holds my DSLR much more securely than my old one. The fluid drag is buttery smooth when panning, and I love that the sliding plate lets me dial in the balance without hassle.

Sofia P. ★★★★★

The sliding plate balances my camera perfectly, so pans feel buttery smooth even mid-zoom. I’ve used cheaper heads before, but this one’s wider platform just locks everything in place without any sag. It’s light enough to carry all day, which is a huge win.

Victoria ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how much easier the sliding plate makes balancing my camera compared to my old head. Setup was quick, and the wide platform feels rock-solid even with a heavier body attached.
