Sitting in between the Manfrotto MVH502AH and 509H video heads, Manfrotto's 504x replaces the forever popular 504 video tripod head. This newly designed addition to Manfrotto's video lineup builds off the success of its predecessor and elevates it even further. It features a new fluid technology that massively boosts smoothness and judder-free pan/tilt movements. Brakes on the tilt and pan axes will keep your heavy and expensive equipment stable and in position. Then, of course, there is the accurate bubble level and sliding quick release plate. The side-lock mechanism allows for quick and safe attachment.
