The 504HD is Manfrotto's latest video fluid head. It is a perfect balance of design and performance. The bridge design improves the head's rigidity and its PAN friction control is fast, simple to fine-tune and protected from knocks.

• All structural components are made from aluminum, with the PAN axis rotation unit using ball bearings to obtain smooth, totally vibration-free controlled movements that can be directly adjusted using the head's FDS variable friction system.
• FDS on both the PAN and TILT axes also ensures that the head works perfectly at all temperatures, with all types of equipment and under all loads.
• Ergonomically improved lever and dial designs combine with the new friction index to give you complete control over the 504HD.
• The 504HD has been designed to offer a load capacity of up to 7.5kg (16.5lb) making it suitable for a huge range of camera equipment.
• The CBS counterbalance system has 4 presets for a full range of camera weights (0, 2.5kg-5.5lb, 5kg-11lb and 7.5kg-16.5lb).
• Leveling the head is easy thanks to the 75mm diameter hemisphere and the back-lit bubble level.
• Two 3/8'' threads on the top plate allow accessories (such as monitors and arms) to be directly and securely attached to the head, which helps cut down set-up time, keeps your camera hot shoe free and, saves you from using another clamp.
• The 504HD is suitable for Manfrotto PRO series video tripods with mid-level or ground spreaders and for carbon fiber single-leg MPRO tripods.
• Wider, longer platform for your camera and accessories. High rigidity structure delivers maximum response and strength.
• Ergonomic controls for easy use in all conditions.
• Easy-link connections for accessories.
• 4-step counterbalance system ensures a quick set-up with optimal balance.
• Ball Bearing drag system for precise, smooth movements.
• Light weight modern materials for optimum balance of strength and weight.
