Manfrotto 504HD Fluid Head & MVT535AQ Aluminum Video Tripod Kit

Introduction

• With its adjustable spring-loaded counter balance system and independently variable pan/tilt fluid drag, Manfrotto’s 504HD Fluid Head & MVT535AQ Aluminum Video Tripod Kit is suitable for cameras weighing up to 16.5 pounds. The head mounts on the single tube four section three stage legs, allowing you to use the MVH504HD that comes with the bundle to create smooth camera moves.
• The legs by themselves can support a little bit more than 44 pounds and feature a spreaderless design for quick set-up and breakdown. The legs feature tension adjustable flip locks so you can tighten the locks if they should loosen over time. The spiked feet provide grip on soft surfaces, while the spin down spike covers protect delicate surfaces and provide grip on hard or slippery surfaces.
• Manfrotto 504HD Fluid Video Head
  The Manfrotto 504HD Fluid Video Head features an innovative design that improves performance while reducing weight, as well as offering a soupon of style. The head’s patented Bridging Technology allows for a wider top plate and longer sliding plate that add stability and balance to a set of state-of-the-art professional features. With its ability to support up to 16.5 lb, the 504HD can be used with a variety of video and photo cameras. The newly designed counterbalance system includes four presets from 0 to 16.5 lb, enabling proper balance no matter what the camera’s size or weight.
• At the same time, redesigned variable friction components with clearly marked degree scales and vibration-free movement bring new levels of fine tuning to your tilts and pans. An illuminated 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 a highly accessorized video DSLR on a rod system, the 504HD takes some of the strain off your support rig by providing two 3/8″ threads integrated into the sides of the top plate. These Easy Link connectors allow attachment of monitors, arms, and other accessories directly to the head, making the camera less top-heavy while reducing setup time.
