Add camera support and dolly moves to your studio rig with this Manfrotto 504X Fluid Head, Aluminum Tripod & Dolly System put together by B&H. The system includes a 504X fluid video head, 504PLONGR-1 sliding quick release plate, MVTTWINMA aluminum tripod with mid-level spreader, variable-spread VR tripod dolly, and carry bag.
The 504X Fluid Video Head with Flat Base from Manfrotto features an open bridge design that provides a stable, smooth performance while reducing weight. The head's patented bridge technology allows for a wider top surface and longer sliding plate that add stability and balance. The head features a flat base with a 3/8"-16 female mounting thread that allows compatibility with a wide range of tripods, monopods, sliders, jibs, and dollies, and a variety of rigs.
With its ability to support up to 26.5 lb, the 504X can be used with a variety of video and photo cameras and rigs. The pan and tilt counterbalance system includes four presets from 0 to 4.8 to 9.7 to 14.3 lb, enabling proper balance no matter what the camera's size or weight.
At the same time, variable friction components with clearly marked degree scales and vibration-free movement bring new levels of fine-tuning to your tilts and pans. A leveling bubble keeps horizons from tilting, even in the dark, while independent disc-brake locks make sure the head stays secure when at rest.
Whether you're using a pro camcorder or an accessorized DSLR, the 504X provides a 504PLONGR-1 sliding quick release plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads to balance the camera properly on your rig. The head is made from durable aluminum and includes a pan bar that can be attached via rosettes on either the right or left side to help create smooth pan-and-tilt movements.
The Manfrotto Aluminum Twin Leg Video Tripod with Mid-Level Spreader is a two-stage tripod with a 100mm bowl and a rigid internal leg lock mechanism. A 100-to-75mm bowl adapter is included, so you get the flexibility to use 100 or 75mm video heads. The tripod features twin spiked feet with rubber overshoes, allowing for use on various terrain as well as on flat, smooth surfaces. It supports up to 55 lb and has a maximum working height of 60", minimum height of 23", and folded length of a compact 27".
The tripod comes with a mid-level spreader with telescopic arms for added stability and for setting the leg angles accurately. The spreader is removable and the optional Manfrotto 165MV ground spreader can be attached instead. The tripod is also compatible with the Manfrotto 114MV and 181B dollies, sold separately.
