Product description

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.

Hybrid precision without changing tripods

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.

Photo and video in oneRigid ONE legs resist torsion for sharp photographs and controlled pans.
Fast deploymentXTEND opens every section of a leg in one motion, while three leg angles cover high and low work.
5 kg safety payloadThe 500X head combines fixed fluid drag with a selectable 2.4 kg counterbalance step at 55 mm C.O.G.

Landscape or portrait in seconds

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.

From 30.8 cm to 181 cm

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.

Level, go overhead or build a compact rig

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.

XCHANGE keeps the workflow moving

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.
