Manfrotto MVH500AH video head

Manfrotto MVH500AH video head

The MVH500AH is a fluid-damped video head designed for video filming and for use with tripods featuring a 3/8" head mount. It is suitable for camera and lens combinations weighing up to 5 kg, and its adjustable counterweight helps to balance even front-heavy set-ups.

Fluid-smoothed motion for video

Fluid damping helps to produce controlled panning and tilting movements. The head offers 360-degree panning and a wide vertical range of -70° to +90°.

High-speed drive and accessory bay

The drop-in quick-release plate can be fitted from above without having to slide the plate into place. The 3/8" mounting on the left-hand side of the video head is designed, for example, for attaching a microphone.
