Manfrotto 504HD Tripod System

The Manfrotto 504HD is a solid, affordable fluid head system for DSLR and mirrorless work, corporate video and smaller cinema cameras. It suits jobs where you want dependable pan and tilt drag without the cost or bulk of a broadcast grade rig.

It is the tripod you grab for interviews, run and gun documentary or any job where you need smooth, repeatable movement and simple setup. The 504HD head sits on a 75mm half ball, which keeps the camera balanced and quick to level. The head is not as heavy duty as broadcast grade heads, but it gives smooth movement for the price and is simple to use.

The 504HD head handles up to 12kg with a 4 step counterbalance (up to 7.5kg at 55mm centre of gravity) on a 75mm half ball. It sits on Manfrotto's 546B twin leg aluminium tripod, running 30 to 154cm, with a floor spreader and tripod plate included in the kit.
