The Manfrotto 500 Fluid Video Head with 190X Video Aluminum Tripod & Leveling Column Kit includes a flat base fluid video head and a flat base two-stage tripod with a ball-leveling center column. The head features a wider-than-standard platform, providing better support for DSLR cameras, and supports a maximum load capacity of 17.6 lb. A 500PLONG quick release plate is included, and the side-lock mounting system allows the plate to click in from above rather than being aligned and slid in from one end.

Fluid cartridges on both the pan and tilt axes provide resistance for smooth, controlled movements. The tilt range is -70° / +90°, and the pan rotation is 360°. The spring-loaded counterbalance is preset at 5.3 lb. The camera plate includes both 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 camera screws, and the head features a 3/8″-16 tripod mounting thread along with a 3/8″-16 Easy Link connector for accessories such as a video monitor.

The three-section tripod legs feature aluminum construction, and each leg extends in two stages. The built-in Quick Power Locks secure the legs at the selected length. The tripod legs can reach a maximum height of just under 59″ without extending the center column and feature a spreader-less design, with each leg offering four independent locking positions of 25°, 46°, 66°, and 88°.
