Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Inside the 501HDV is a powerful new feature that takes its inspiration from our top professional video head models – a fixed counterbalance spring (set for a typical weight of camera plus accessories of 2.5kg) that helps ensure both smoother tilt movements and greater equipment safety even when tilt locks are inadvertently left off.
The easy-to-reach on/off switch allows the counterbalance system to be disengaged or re-engaged for different filming setups. But from the outside, the first thing that you’ll notice about the new 501HDV video head is its updated design – completely retuned for much improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow a more solid grip and better fingertip control.
The 501HDV inherits its separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system, flat base (with standard 3/8” thread), quick release camera plate and repositionable pan bar from its successful predecessor.

Smooth, quick, easy to control and use. Works very well with lanc control unit. The quick click "return to neutral" is a great plus. Highly recommended.

Great tripod head for digiscoping. Stays on subject even at high magnification. Two options for balancing the head which work well

This is a wonderful head that gives you great control. The movements and rotations are extremely smooth, with good friction adjustment. And it's very useful to have the "return to neutral" option. Aesthetically the head looks great and very smooth, and is made of very high quality material. I use this for my Canon 550D dSLR with various lenses and it works like magic :)
I bought this head along with the Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod Legs, and the Manfrotto padded bag for this set of legs. When the head is attached to the legs, and tilted upwards, it all fits into the bag perfectly.

Excellent for spotting scope
I use mine for sea-watching birds - it's a bit too heavy to be lugging around for other birding sessions. Read more

Manfrotto Tripod Head
I purchased this product to replace the original head on a Manfrotto 058 tripod. Advice given by Manfrotto suggested this 501HDV and it makes the 058 Tripod a more usable product. Read more
