The Manfrotto 522PB12P is a precision-made Italian adapter that converts any standard Manfrotto remote-control pan bar (LANC or Panasonic type) to fit video heads equipped with 12 mm pan-bar sockets, specifically designed for many Panasonic professional camcorder heads and select third-party fluid heads, allowing seamless integration of Manfrotto’s 522-series remote controls.
The 522PB12P Remote Pan Bar Adapter is the essential bridge piece for shooters who want to use Manfrotto’s excellent 522 LANC or 522P Panasonic remote controls with heads that have 12 mm diameter pan-bar mounts instead of the usual Manfrotto 14 mm. Machined from aluminum and finished in Manfrotto’s signature black, it simply slides onto the original Manfrotto pan bar and locks securely into 12 mm sockets. At only 167 g, it adds virtually no weight yet opens up full zoom/record and pan/tilt control on otherwise incompatible heads.
