Κεφαλή τριπόδου Manfrotto MVH500AH μαύρο αλουμίνιο 3/8 ίντσες

The Manfrotto MVH500AH is a lightweight aluminium video head with a wider sliding platform designed for HDSLR and interchangeable‑lens cameras. It replaces the earlier 701HDV head and supports smooth, controlled camera movements while carrying up to 5 kg (11 lb). The head includes a flat base tripod mount and a 3/8" Easy Link connector for attaching external monitors or accessories, making it compatible with hybrid photo/video tripods, traditional photo tripods, sliders, monopods and other supports.

Advantages

The MVH500AH features professional fluid cartridges on both the pan and tilt axes to ensure precise, smooth motion. A side lock system lets the camera and sliding quick‑release plate click into place from above for faster, safer mounting and removal without a secondary safety lock. The head is compact and lightweight (0.9 kg) while offering a pre‑set counterbalance of 2.4 kg (5.3 lb) and a maximum payload of 5 kg (11 lb).

Suitable for

• Shooting video with HDSLRs and mirrorless cameras
• Use on hybrid photo/video tripods and sliders
• Situations requiring smooth pan and tilt control for interviews, run‑and‑gun filming and tabletop shoots

Recommendations

For best results, balance cameras close to the head’s pre‑set counterbalance and avoid exceeding the 5 kg payload. Regularly check the side lock engagement and keep fluid cartridges free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
