Manfrotto 501HDV,028B Lightweight Video Tripod
The 501HDV replaces the popular Manfrotto 501 Pro Video Head. It inherits its separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system, flat base (with standard 3/8-inch thread), quick release camera plate and repositionable pan bar from its successful predecessor. Inside the 501HDV is a powerful new feature that takes its inspiration from Manfrotto's top professional video head models -- a fixed counterbalance spring 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.

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 + 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.

Geared Center Column
Geared column mechanism
To provide the accuracy and capability needed to support and put into position cameras weighing up to 26.5 pounds, the tripod has a center column made of an anti-rollback three-faceted tube controlled by a self-locking gear mechanism; legs made of a combination of extruded and electric welded aluminum tubes; a reinforced die casting aluminum top spider; and an adjustable mid-level spreader system. Ideal for cameras up to medium format.
028B Black Triman Tripod Key Features
Anti-Slip Geared Column
To provide the accuracy and capability needed to support and put into position cameras weighing up to 44 pounds, the tripod has a center column made of an anti-rollback three-faceted tube controlled by a self-locking gear mechanism. The geared center column allows safe, precise height adjustment even under heavy loads.
Broad Working Height Range
The Manfrotto Black Triman Tripod is capable of providing a stable platform for cameras up to 26.5 pounds at a maximum height of 7.45 feet, while it is also capable of a minimum height of just 30.3 inches.
Mid-level Spreader
Each leg angle can be independently set with the mid-level spreader
Foldaway Handle Avoids Damage In Transport
The central geared column mechanism lever can be folded away during transportation.
Mid Level Spreader Allows Each Leg Angle to be Independently Set
The built-in mid-level spreader adds anti-torsional rigidity and stops the tripod legs from accidentally being knocked wider apart. Compared to a ground-level spreader or dolly, the mid-level spreader has the advantage that it stays well out of the mud and dirt and is more suitable for use on uneven terrain. Each of the legs can be set to a different angle of spread for more flexible, versatile positioning and to help keep camera equipment well-balanced over the tripod's center of gravity.
Locking Knob Leg Locks
Wing nut leg locks give total control over locking force and are so easy to service out in the field that they'll never let you down.
Built-in Bubble Level
The built-in, carefully hand-set bubble spirit level helps make sure your horizons really are horizontal.
Mobile junction ring
Sturdy All-Metal Construction
Anodized aluminum construction.
Mobile Junction Ring For Fast Tripod Setup
Mobile junction ring lockable in any position along the center column for fast tripod setup.
Low Angle Shooting
There is a second camera/head screw at the bottom of the center column to allow for low angle shooting or even more stable low-slung support of heavy equipment.
Rubber Feet With Retractable Spikes
All-terrain retractable spiked feet in rust-free stainless steel are incorporated into the tripod. Retractable spiked feet mean you can use this both outdoors (with the spike extended for better grip on soft terrain, moss, plants, etc.) and indoors on delicate floor surfaces (with the rubber foot covering the spike to avoid damage and give more stable non-slip support).
Solid Tripod/Head Plate With 3/8-inch Screw Camera Mount
The solid tripod/head plate has an industry standard 3/8-inch screw and three angled grub screws which stop the head from unscrewing accidentally in use and also block unwanted panoramic rotation or play between tripod and head.
