1. Manfrotto 504X Fluid video head
The 504X fluid video head is a further development of the globally successful 504HD. It is a more compact and lighter version that finally has a flat base (diameter 75 mm) and has been developed for the most demanding videographers. The head is made of aluminium, stands out with its eye-catching design and supports a maximum of 12 kg.
Thanks to Manfrotto's fluid technology, the head always provides smooth and silky-smooth pan and tilt movements. Premium video shooting has never been easier, thanks to the four-stage counterbalance system for loads up to 6.5 kg at 55 mm from the centre of gravity. This makes the use of a whole range of cameras easier and more practical.
Two 3/8" Easy Link connectors allow an external monitor or other accessories to be mounted on the side of the head. On the left side, a cap covers the 3/8" Easy Link connector to prevent scratches during use. The sliding plate with side lock for quicker mounting of the camera keeps the video equipment stable and balanced. Aligning the head is child's play thanks to the clever spirit level with backlight.

Additionally, the head features a horizontal and vertical plate system that enables precise alignment at the camera/lens nodal point. This allows the system to be adjusted for any camera type.

5. Manfrotto Per Video Fluid
Absolute control, intuitive operation, and complete compatibility. The Pro Fluid Video Head is the ultimate video tripod head for professionals who want to achieve perfect results effortlessly. The head has been specifically designed for the latest high-resolution DSLR cameras with HD video functionality and offers innovative features for easy, precise handling regardless of the surface, type of shot, or equipment.
Among these features is the fluid system of the head. With the help of a fluid cartridge, it allows for variable fluid control of the pan and tilt axes, ensuring absolutely smooth movements. Additionally, this advanced video tripod head supports the pan and tilt axes with ball bearings, enabling vibration-free, perfectly controlled movements. A weight balance system allows for adjustment of the head according to the weight of the equipment when necessary.

6. Manfrotto X-Pro 3, 3-way tilt head MHXPRO-3W
The XPRO-3W is Manfrotto's most compact, precise, and reliable 3-way tilt head.
Thanks to its retractable adjustment levers, the XPRO has a very compact size and is therefore easy to store and transport. In transport mode, with the levers retracted and folded, the head takes up just 13 cm x 13.5 cm x 13.5 cm of space. The friction controls for the tilt and portrait movements of the XPRO 3-way head allow for precise adjustment of the camera weight. Fine-tuning can be done with the locks open, and only after that is everything securely locked in place. Three leveling bubbles enable extremely precise alignment of the camera on the tripod, reducing the need for post-processing on the computer. The use of robust aluminum ensures excellent reliability and durability for this head. Despite its very high load capacity of up to 8 kg, the XPRO itself weighs only 1 kg.

The standard quick-release plate fits perfectly into its flat mount. This three-way head can be adjusted independently on three axes. You can pan it horizontally, tilt it up or down, or swivel it to the side. Since only one direction can be adjusted at a time, very precise camera alignment is possible.
9. Manfrotto XPRO ball head with Q6 Top Lock quick release bracket
The XPRO ball head features a new triple locking system that guarantees absolute stability of the camera position. With the help of three wedges that lock the ball, any slipping is prevented. The friction control assists the user in balancing the weight of the camera equipment. Thanks to the two leveling bubbles, fine adjustments can be made even with the locking knobs open. Additionally, the use of new, grease-free polymer rings ensures smooth, precise, and less jerky camera movements.
Thanks to its magnesium housing, the XPRO ball head is particularly lightweight, portable, and reliable. It weighs only 0.52 kg and has a maximum load capacity of up to 10 kg.
The new MHXPRO-BHQ6 features the Top Lock system: the MSQ6PL (Arca-Swiss compatible) plate, an absolutely innovative solution compared to other Arca-Swiss adapters available on the market. Instead of sliding in from the side, the camera is placed on top, making it easier and more time-saving. The first locking occurs automatically after inserting the plate through an additional safety pin that prevents the camera from falling out.
The ball head is the perfect solution for experienced professional photographers who want to feel completely secure even when using high-quality, expensive, and heavy camera equipment.
