Manfrotto ONE Video Aluminium Tripod with 502X Fluid Video Head

The Manfrotto ONE Video Aluminium Tripod with 502X Fluid Video Head is a professional video tripod kit designed for modern mirrorless cameras, compact camcorders and demanding video production. Combining the robust aluminium construction of the dedicated ONE Video tripod with the Manfrotto 502X Fluid Video Head, this system delivers smooth, controlled camera movements, rapid setup and dependable stability for studio and location filming. With an 8kg safety payload, continuously adjustable fluid drag, 360° panoramic rotation and an integrated levelling system, the ONE Video provides a versatile and professional support solution for filmmakers, videographers and content creators.

Manfrotto 502X Fluid Video Head

The Manfrotto 502X Fluid Video Head is designed specifically for professional videographers using mirrorless cameras and compact camcorders. Its Variable Continuous Fluid Drag System provides smooth and controlled resistance across both pan and tilt movements, allowing precise camera movements for cinematic pans, tilts, interviews and subject tracking.

The integrated Counterbalance System can be engaged when additional camera control is required, with a counterbalance weight of up to 4.4kg at a 55mm centre of gravity. The head supports camera setups up to 8kg, making it suitable for a wide range of professional video equipment.

Smooth Pan and Tilt Control

With continuously adjustable pan and tilt drag, the 502X allows videographers to fine-tune the resistance to suit the camera setup and shooting style. Independent pan and tilt locks provide additional control when the camera needs to remain fixed, while 360° panoramic rotation allows smooth horizontal camera movement.

The front tilt range of -70° to +90° provides plenty of flexibility for high- and low-angle compositions, making the head suitable for interviews, documentaries, events, commercial production and creative video work.

Fast Setup with XTEND Legs

The Manfrotto ONE Video tripod features the patented XTEND locking mechanism, allowing all three leg sections to be deployed in a single movement. This makes the tripod particularly useful for fast-moving productions where equipment needs to be positioned and adjusted quickly.

The innovative non-round leg profile provides increased torsional rigidity, helping maintain stability during camera movements and pans. Three adjustable leg angles of 20°, 50° and 81.5° provide flexibility when setting up on uneven terrain or positioning the camera at different heights.

Integrated Levelling System

The ONE Video features an integrated levelling mechanism designed to make precise tripod setup faster and easier. This is particularly useful for professional video production where maintaining a level horizon is essential.

The tripod has a 75mm base diameter and a flat-base design, making the system adaptable to a variety of professional support equipment and workflows.

XCHANGE and Easy Link Connectivity

The 502X Fluid Video Head features a 75mm flat base with 3/8-inch mounting and is compatible with Manfrotto's XCHANGE quick-release system. This allows compatible heads and support equipment to be swapped efficiently between tripods, sliders, dollies and other production equipment.

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

Professional Video Support

Designed and manufactured in Italy, the ONE Video Aluminium Tripod provides a robust yet portable support system for professional productions. Its combination of aluminium construction, rapid XTEND deployment, adjustable leg angles, modular feet and professional fluid head makes it suitable for both studio and location work.

The removable rubber feet reveal integrated spikes, providing additional grip when working on uneven or softer outdoor surfaces. A padded carrying bag is also included for transport and protection.
