Manfrotto ONE Aluminium with 500X Fluid Head is a complete hybrid tripod kit for mirrorless creators who switch between still photography, smooth cinematic video and vertical social content. Its rigid non-round aluminium legs, rapid XTEND deployment, levelling Q90 centre column and XCHANGE interface combine with the 500X head's fluid pan/tilt control, 5 kg safety payload and quick landscape-to-portrait platform in one adaptable studio and location support system.

The Manfrotto ONE aluminium tripod and 500X fluid head form a ready-to-shoot system for mirrorless creators who move between still photography, cinematic video and vertical social content. The stable non-round legs, fluid movement and quick-change mechanisms keep one compact setup adaptable in the studio and on location.
The hinged 500X platform moves securely through 90° for horizontal or vertical capture. Fluid Drag System cartridges act on both pan and tilt, while the selectable Counterbalance System helps hold a mirrorless rig steady. The 501PL sliding plate drops in from above through the side-lock mechanism, and the built-in bubble level speeds up accurate framing.


The patented XTEND mechanism deploys each three-section leg quickly, and independent angles of 20°, 50° and 81.5° support conventional, wide and ground-level setups. Remove the rubber ends to expose metal spikes for additional grip on uneven surfaces. The shaped aluminium tubes provide the rigidity needed for stills and the torsional resistance required for smooth pans.
The rapid sliding centre column levels the kit without laborious leg adjustments. Its removable lower section enables near-ground work, and the Q90 mechanism moves the column horizontally for flat lays, tutorials and product photography. An anti-rotation Easy Link connection accepts a compatible arm for a light, monitor or microphone without adding another stand.


The 60 mm flat base works with Manfrotto XCHANGE, so the head can move between compatible supports without rebuilding the rig. Use fluid drag for controlled motion, lock the axes for static frames, and rebalance quickly with the sliding plate when the camera changes. A padded carrying bag is supplied for transport.
The Manfrotto ONE Alu with the 500X fluid video head features a flat base and an Easy Link connector (3/8" thread) for easy attachment of external accessories. This setup is ideal for lighter camcorders and mirrorless cameras, requiring compatible 500-series quick-release plates and accessories for mounting monitors, microphones, or mobile devices.
Tripod plates and quick-release systems - Compatible plates and systems for quickly mounting equipment on the fluid head.
Arms and Mounts for Accessories - Accessories for mounting monitors, lights, and smartphones directly onto a tripod or head using the Easy Link connector.
Clamps and mounting accessories - Universal clamps for attaching a tripod to various surfaces or for mounting additional equipment on tripod legs.
Adapters and screws - Essential adapters and pins for connecting different thread standards and mounts.
Video Head Accessories - Components to enhance the ergonomics and controlof the 500X fluid head.
