## Overview

The Manfrotto MVH502A, 546GB-1 Professional Fluid Video System combines a high-quality aluminum tripod with a fluid head, ensuring stability and smooth operation for all your video projects. With a compact design and included ground spreader, this system is perfect for professionals seeking reliability and performance in any shooting environment.

## Description

The MVH500AH is a lightweight head with a wider platform for HDSLR bodies which has a sliding plate which travels to balance the latest interchangeable lens cameras. The entry-level 500 ensures smooth shots and fine control with up to 5kg (11lbs) of equipment. It's the most compact head in our successful Bridging Technology range and it replaces the Manfrotto 701HDV video head. Beautifully smooth shots: the 500 has professional fluid cartridges on both pan and tilt axes to ensure that every camera movement is smooth, controlled and precise. Faster, easier and safer to use: the side lock system allows the camera and sliding QR plate to click quickly into the head from above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. No secondary safety lock is necessary. The side lock system also makes it quicker and simpler to lift the camera out of the head from above. The 500 has a pre-set counterbalance of 2.4kg (5.3 lbs.), but is able to support equipment of up to 8kg (17.64 lbs.). The 500 has one Easy Link 3/8" connector to allow an external monitor or other accessory equipment to be fitted. MVH500AH head with flat base tripod mount for attachment to a hybrid photo/video tripod, a traditional photo tripod, slider, a monopod or other supports.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you ensure that this head is level on the tripod? [Apart from trying to adjust the tripod legs, which would be ridiculous!]**
A: If you want to level quickly, get the version (MVH-502A) that comes with a 75mm half ball and a set of legs that have a cup to receive the ball. If you already have a tripod and want to add a nice little fluid head for video use, put this head on your legs. It has a tiny bubble level to help. To level this flat bottomed head, pan the head until it's pointing between two of the legs, ignoring the rear leg to start. Looking at the bubble, adjust the left or right leg until the bubble is centered left and right. Now adjust the rear leg until the bubble is centered. Yep, slow and troublesome. That's why ball heads were so revolutionary in the 1070's.

**Q: For the MVH502 head with 75mm Half Ball, is it possible to remove the 75mm Half Ball (unscrewing it somehow) to make a flat based head 4 versatility?**
A: Yes Yes Yes! It is possible!!!

The halfball attaches to the head using 3/4 thread

**Q: is this compatible with manfrotto video monopods?**
A: Yes, it is compatible with any monopod that has a flat 3/8 inch type mount. This head has a threaded 3/8 inch hole in base.

**Q: do this work with some of the manfrotto dollies??**
A: To tell you the truth I don't know. But I will tell you that the mid spreader BREAKS easily! It's pretty brittle. Had I known this before I would've saves up for Kesslers dolly kit instead, with a Hercules head
