Smooth control and quick landscape/portrait switching

The Manfrotto 500X fluid head is designed for mirrorless users looking for precision, versatility and full control. Its articulated plate makes it easy to switch between landscape and portrait orientation, perfect for modern social content workflows.

Smooth pan and tilt with Fluid Drag

The integrated Fluid Drag system ensures smooth and stable movement:

• consistent panning

• controlled tilting

• more cinematic results with fewer micro-jerks

For better balance, the head includes a counterbalance system optimized at 2.4 kg with a 55 mm center of gravity, helping keep mirrorless rigs stable.

Fast mounting with the 501PL sliding plate

The intuitive 501PL sliding quick-release plate with side lock lets you mount the camera securely from the top in seconds, reducing setup time and keeping the workflow simple.

Xchange-ready 60 mm flat base
