Manfrotto ONE Hybrid Aluminium Tripod with 500X Fluid Head

Manfrotto ONE Hybrid Aluminium Tripod with 500X Fluid Head

The Manfrotto ONE Hybrid Tripod with 500X Fluid Head is purpose-built for modern content creators who demand versatility, speed, and precision. Designed to support both photography and video, this system is ideal for hybrid mirrorless setups, smartphone content, and vertical video, offering the flexibility to capture stunning stills and cinematic motion alike. With a maximum payload of 15 kg, a working height range of 19 to 170.5 cm, and a folded length of 70.6 cm, the aluminium construction provides robust durability while keeping the overall weight manageable at 3.5 kg. The tripod’s leg angle selector allows for rapid setup across varied shooting conditions, while the XCHANGE System enables instant swapping of heads, sliders, and other accessories, ensuring creators can quickly adapt to any shooting scenario.

The tripod also features a versatile levelling column with a detachable section for low-angle shooting at just 19 cm, extending up to 170.5 cm for overhead or elevated shots. Manfrotto’s Q90 mechanism allows the centre column to rotate 90° for easy overhead or flat-lay photography, while the Easy Link attachment thread supports a wide range of accessories. The XTEND leg locking system simplifies setup with a single lever that locks or releases all leg sections simultaneously, and the custom, non-rounded leg design enhances rigidity and reduces flex. The modular feet can be swapped between rubber tips and spikes, providing stability on any surface.

Paired with the Manfrotto 500X Fluid Head, this system delivers smooth, professional-quality video with the Fluid Drag System (FDS) for precise pan and tilt movements, along with a built-in counterbalance system for added control. The 500X allows quick switching between landscape and portrait orientation without removing the camera, supporting hybrid camera rigs up to 5 kg, and incorporates both a standard 501PL-compatible quick release plate and a bubble level for perfectly aligned shots. The head also integrates with the XCHANGE mount system, enabling rapid changes to sliders or other support systems and compatibility with any tripod legs supporting a 60mm flat base with a 3/8"-16 thread.

Together, the Manfrotto ONE Hybrid Aluminium Tripod and 500X Fluid Head provide an all-in-one solution for hybrid professionals, delivering speed, stability, and flexibility in a compact and easy-to-use system—perfect for creators who need to move quickly and capture every shot with confidence.
