From Manfrotto:
The new 500 is a lightweight head with a wider platform for HDSLR bodies and the sliding plate travels to balance the latest interchangeable lens cameras.
The entry-level 500 ensures smooth shots and fine control with up to 5kg of equipment.
It’s the most compact head in our successful Bridging Technology range, it also replaces the Manfrotto 701HDV video head.
The 500 is available as a stand-alone head or in pre-matched kits with twin-leg or single-tube tripods.
