Manfrotto Head Pro Video 502AH Flat Base

Shooting freedom like nothing you’ve ever experienced. The 190x aluminium 3-section tripod with XPRO Fluid Head enables you to compose your photos more creatively than ever before, and has a portable compact design for easy carrying. It can also be purchased as a kit with the innovative new XPRO fluid head and quick-release camera plate so you can use it with an extensive variety of devices, without the need to switch plates.

With this tripod with head, you’ll be able to capture ultra-low perspectives, and it’s all thanks to the ground level adapter, housed in the top casting of the tripod. Discover your potential and shoot like never before. The Quick Power Lock (QPL) also blocks and unblocks each leg, which means this tripod is incredibly easy to set up and adjust. Better still, the QPL levers’ powerful locking mechanism of each leg section will ensure your tripod is as stable as possible. You’ll also benefit from a comfortable, strong, single-handed grip – perfect when you’re shooting those ultra-low angles from awkward positions. When you need to shoot quickly, you can release each leg section in one single movement to save time. All in all, the 190x aluminium 3-section tripod provides a level of shooting freedom and stability that is a substantial improvement on older, traditional tripods.

If you’re keen to showcase your video skills, this tripod makes a great travel companion thanks to its lightweight 0.7kg design and high-quality aluminium body and polymer adapter. Choose from two fluidity levels – hard and soft – and customise it to your type of gear and movement.

Each leg angle of the 190x aluminium 3-section tripod can be independently and solidly set thanks to the intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors, giving you more positioning freedom. Easily add an accessory such as a flash or LED light via the Easy Link and an extending arm, and turn your tripod into a flexible and practical mobile studio. The 190x tripod and fluid head are made in Italy by Manfrotto.

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).

Manfrotto’s Befree Live is the most compact travel video tripod kit, dedicated to hobbyist videographers and vloggers who want maximum performance, even when they are on the go. It is easy to carry everywhere thanks to its compact size and it fulfils an increasing demand from independent content creators for a lightweight, ergonomic travel tripod that is easy-to-carry for video recording with DSLRs, compact system cameras or small camcorders.
It features a tripod spider developed to keep cameras perfectly stable on all types of terrain, including the most uneven, always keeping the camera completely steady and ready to capture amazing video footage.

This model introduces a new locking system called the M-lock, the new twist lock developed by Manfrotto to fully satisfy everyone looking for a fast, easy to use, compact solution. Moreover, the M-Lock has no protruding parts, and its mechanism closes perfectly around the head, enabling the Befree Live to slip into and out of its storage pocket effortlessly. 

Its ergonomic leg-angle selector is designed to be used by both right and left-handed videographers, enabling everyone to change shooting perspectives intuitively and to find the right tripod height without losing focus on the shot they want to achieve.

The Befree Live can easily be set to three independent leg angle positions, guaranteeing full shooting versatility for all the creative ideas that can emerge outdoors.

The spider featured on this innovative model also provides an Easy Link, just like Manfrotto’s professional 190 & 055 tripods, allowing videographers to enhance their creativity by adding accessories that make their footage unique and unforgettable. If you like adding lights or reflectors, you can now catch amazing outdoor footage that was previously only achievable with heavy accessorized tripods.

The Befree Live’s small size does not mean compromising on sturdiness or image quality. This solution guarantees very smooth movements thanks to the Befree Live Fluid Head, which features a fluid drag system on pan and tilt and keeps your camera perfectly balanced thanks to its sliding video plate.

Easy to use and set up, the Befree Live Fluid Head is provided with two intuitive on/off knobs that lock and unlock the head’s pan and tilt movements separately.

This lightweight travel video tripod is the optimal combination of portability, solidity, easy set-up and operation.  It is built with the unique goal of enabling individuals to express their nature using their camera with the confidence of being supported by a professional solution. Befree Live is available in black.
