Inside the 501HDV is a powerful new feature that takes its inspiration from Manfrotto’s top professional head models – a fixed counterbalance spring – which helps ensure both smoother tilt movements and greater equipment safety, even when the tilt locks are inadvertently left off.
The easy-access on/off switch allows the counterbalance system to be engaged or disengaged for different filming needs and for quick panning and tilting.
The 501HDV offers an updated design, which has been created for improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow for a more solid grip and better control. The large knobs – with all controls on the left side of the head – allow for ease of use.
In addition, the quick release plate (with standard 3/8” thread) is flush with the casting so that the camera sits flat on top of the video head.
The 501HDV inherits its separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system and repositionable pan bar from its successful predecessor.
