The compact aluminium 504X combines a 12 kg safety payload with continuously adjustable fluid pan and tilt drag. Its flat 75 mm base suits tripods, sliders, jibs and other supports with a 3/8″ mount.


Independent fluid drag adjustment matches the head to the rig weight and desired shot pace. A −70° to +90° tilt range and full 360° pan cover studio, documentary, event and filmmaking work.

The plate loads from the side, so the camera does not need to slide in from the rear beneath attached accessories. A backlit bubble level helps align the head in low light.
The 504X head can be equipped with the optional MVAPANBARM panoramic arm or the MVAPANBARL telescopic arm, along with the original 504PLONGR-1 sliding plate.
We select similar fluid heads based on their load capacity, balancing method, and flat base. Our product lineup therefore combines Manfrotto with compatible SmallRig and SWIT models.
