Manfrotto Intros 504HD Fluid Head Manfrotto has unveiled the 504HD fluid head, which boasts an increased load capacity resulting from the company’s patented Bridging Technology. Thanks to the 504HD’s bridge design, the pan friction control is intuitive, easy to set and protected against knocks. Movement around the pan and tilt axes is smoothed by ball-bearing units, which remove all unwanted vibration regardless of operating temperature. Furthermore, friction control combines with a step counterbalance system that covers the full weight range to allow the 504HD to be fine-tuned with extreme precision for the exact in-shot movement needed. The head’s Fluid Drag System (FDS) is variable and directly controls action and resistance on both axes; the ergonomic controls have been noticeably improved to make using the FDS even easier. The 504HD supports kits weighing up to 16.5 pounds, and two 3⁄8" threads on the top plate allow accessories — such as monitors and arms — to be fitted directly to the head, eliminating the need for extra clamps, saving setup time and freeing the video camera’s hot shoe.
