The popular 501HDV professional tripod head and professional tripod systems have been replaced by the new “502” professional tripod heads and professional tripod systems. (technical specifications below)
The MVH502A and MVH502AH tripod heads incorporate a smooth professional fluid pan and tilt that replaces the fluid/tension pan of the 501HDV. The PAN and TILT movements are smoothed by ball-bearing units that remove all unwanted vibration across all operating temperatures. Both heads have a variable Fluid Drag System (FDS) with adjustable cartridges. The ergonomics of the PAN fluidity controls have been noticeably improved over the 501 and the 501HDV. We have been able to improve just about every aspect of the 501HDV; ergonomics, performance and cost as the cost of our new MVH502AH is less than the 501HDV.
This head is available in two models: the MVH502A has a 75 mm ball base, while the MVH502AH has a flat base with 3/8" thread. Both are ideally suited for the latest digital video camcorders and Hybrid DSLR cameras with medium/long lenses. The MVH502AH is the perfect choice for sliders and mini-jibs with a 13.2 pound static weight capacity. (8.8 pound counter balance maximum)

The new telescoping tandem; or twin tubes are a first for Manfrotto. The design provides the stability of a twin tube tripod with the ease of use of a single leg tripod.
