Breakdown
The Manfrotto MVH500AH Fluid Video Head is as smooth and sturdy as they come. Fluid cartridges on the pan and tilt axis give you all the control you need, without troublesome jerky movements. With a load capacity of 11 lbs and a counterbalance weight of 5.3 lbs, this head is perfect for those larger optics or cameras with long heavy lenses. The side lock system allows the optic and sliding QR plate to click quickly into the head from above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. This makes it easier and safer to mount your optics or camera on this head.
