Silky smooth movement, easy control
The Fluid Drag System (FDS) for panning and tilting ensures extremely smooth, shake-free shots - for professional results straight from the camera. For even more stability, you can activate the Counterbalance System (CBS), optimized for 2.4 kg at 55 mm center of gravity, which keeps the camera perfectly balanced. With the 500X head, you're always in control - no unnecessary repetition of shots, no wasted time.
Ready in seconds
The 500X head has been designed for maximum work efficiency. The Sliding Plate 501PL with Side Lock allows the camera to be quickly and securely mounted from above - in seconds. Forget complicated setup - just click and start creating.
Seamless transitions with Xchange
Adapt effortlessly to any scene. The 500X has a 60mm diameter flat base that is fully compatible with Manfrotto's Xchange quick release system. This makes it easy and quick to switch between tripods, sliders and other support devices - without having to re-set, saving time and energy.
Ideal for social content creators
Vertical content is more important today than ever before. The 500X makes it easy to shoot both portrait and landscape - thanks to its innovative 90° tilt mechanism, you can quickly switch from horizontal to vertical format. Ideal for vloggers, content creators for TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. The built-in level allows you to accurately align the shot, whether it's a wide panorama or a still portrait. With the 500X head you get consistency, confidence and professional results without compromise.
Hybrid design for maximum performance
Traditional photo tripods emphasize stability, while video tripods are designed to resist twisting for smooth and controlled shots. ONE introduces a unique new non-round leg shape, designed to provide the best of both worlds - perfectly rigid for sharp images with exceptional torsional resistance for smooth panoramic shots from start to finish.
Fast, reliable and ready to create
Unfold all leg sections in one quick motion for fast adjustment with the patented XTEN mechanism. The time-saving feature means less time editing and more time capturing stunning images and videos. Adjustable leg angles and modular legs ensure stability on any terrain, whether you're in the studio or filming on location. The feet can also be removed to reveal spiked feet, providing better grip on uneven or slippery surfaces - so when inspiration strikes, you'll be ready to create without delay.
Seamless transitions with Xchange
Quickly adapt to any style with the Xchange Quick Release system that allows you to change heads, sliders and accessories in seconds. Go from photo to video and easily change the shooting style to open up a wide range of possibilities. With this level of flexibility, Manfrotto ONE becomes a true partner in unlocking your full creative potential.
Modular flexibility
The modular sliding column system allows the lower section to be removed for ground level shots. Ideal for capturing stunning close-ups, product photography and extreme low-angle video scenes. Connect lights, microphones or monitors via Easy Link to simplify your work and reduce the need for additional stands and equipment.
Precision at every angle
An intuitive buffer column ensures perfect shots in seconds, saving time on set and in post-production. If you need a bird's eye view, the Q90's mechanism instantly switches from vertical to horizontal, making it ideal for flat lay, tutorials and product photography.
