Manfrotto ONE Video Aluminium Tripod with 500X Fluid Video Head

The Manfrotto ONE Video Aluminium Tripod with 500X Fluid Video Head is a professional video support system designed for modern mirrorless cameras, hybrid content creators and videographers. Combining the robust aluminium construction of the dedicated ONE Video tripod with the compact and smooth 500X Fluid Video Head, this versatile kit provides reliable stability, fast setup and controlled camera movement for everything from interviews and social media content to travel filmmaking and professional video production. With a 5kg safety payload, 360° panoramic rotation, Fluid Drag System and integrated levelling mechanism, the ONE Video is built to keep pace with fast-moving creative workflows.

Manfrotto 500X Fluid Video Head

The Manfrotto 500X Fluid Video Head is designed specifically for mirrorless camera users who need smooth movement, quick adjustments and flexible framing in a compact video head. Its Fluid Drag System provides controlled and consistent resistance for both pan and tilt movements, helping produce smoother camera movements when filming interviews, events, social media content and cinematic sequences.

The built-in Counterbalance System can be engaged when additional camera control is required, with a 2.4kg counterbalance setting at a 55mm centre of gravity. The head has a 5kg safety payload, making it suitable for a wide range of mirrorless camera and lens combinations.

Landscape and Portrait Video

The 500X Fluid Head features a hinged camera plate that allows you to switch quickly between landscape and portrait orientation. This makes the system particularly useful for creators producing both traditional video and vertical content for social media platforms.

The supplied 501PL sliding camera plate allows compatible cameras to be mounted securely, while the quick-release design helps speed up changes between setups.

Smooth Pan and Tilt Control

The Fluid Drag System provides fixed fluid drag for both pan and tilt movements, allowing smooth and controlled camera operation. The 500X offers 360° panoramic rotation and a front tilt range of -70° to +90°, providing plenty of flexibility for tracking subjects and creating high- and low-angle compositions.

For fast-moving productions, the combination of fluid movement and rapid tripod adjustment makes the 500X particularly useful for videographers who need to change positions quickly while maintaining precise camera control.

Fast XTEND Setup

The ONE Video Aluminium Tripod features Manfrotto's patented XTEND locking mechanism, allowing the three leg sections to be deployed quickly and efficiently. This is particularly useful for location filming, events and other situations where equipment needs to be set up and moved regularly.

The innovative ONE leg design provides rigidity and stability, while the three adjustable leg angles of 20°, 50° and 81.5° provide flexibility when working on uneven ground or positioning the camera for creative low-angle shots.

Integrated Levelling

An integrated levelling mechanism allows the tripod to be adjusted quickly and precisely, helping maintain a level horizon without lengthy setup procedures. This is particularly useful for professional video where accurate framing and consistent horizons are essential.

The ONE Video uses a 60mm flat base and is designed around a dedicated video workflow, with no centre column. This provides a straightforward and stable platform for video cameras and mirrorless systems.

XCHANGE Quick-Release System

The integrated XCHANGE quick-release system allows compatible heads, sliders and accessories to be swapped quickly, helping streamline your production workflow. The 500X is already XCHANGE-ready, so it can be connected directly to the ONE Video tripod without requiring the supplied XCHANGE conversion plate.

The tripod also features Easy Link connections with anti-rotation, allowing compatible accessories such as LED lights, monitors and microphones to be mounted directly to the support system.

Durable Aluminium Construction

Built from aluminium and designed and manufactured in Italy, the ONE Video provides a robust support platform for professional video work while remaining practical for location production. The tripod weighs 4.2kg as a complete kit, making it suitable for studio and location use.

The modular feet combine rubber feet with integrated spikes, allowing the tripod to be adapted for different shooting surfaces and outdoor environments. A dedicated padded carrying bag is also included for transport and protection.
