Manfrotto
055 Magnesium Photo-Movie Head with Q5 Quick Release
Tripod Head
The Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5 Photo-Movie Tripod Head is a great choice for photographers shooting stills as well as video. Primarily designed for DSLR cameras with movie shooting ability, the head features a Photo-Movie selector to quickly switch between the 2 modes.
In Photo mode, the head offers free movement in all directions just like a typical ball head. Featuring fluid cartridges and an adjustable counter balance control, it offers precise, smooth, and controlled movement.
In video mode, the head restricts all-direction movement to precise pan-and-tilt operation. An included pan bar offers fluid movement along with friction control. Easy to attach and remove, the pan bar is also reversible for right- or left-hand users. An included rest clip allows the pan bar to be attached to a tripod leg after being removed. A Q5 quick-release plate is included.
