Manfrotto has revealed its latest addition to the ONE System: the ONE Video tripod. This state-of-the-art equipment is a dedicated professional video solution that enhances the versatility of their popular tripod lineup, alongside the 502X Fluid Video Head. Designed with filmmakers in mind, this tripod and head combination deliver both portability and stability for high-pressure environments. The highlight is the tripod’s non-round leg profile, which boosts stability during panning by improving torsional rigidity.
The one-handed XTEND mechanism allows the tripod’s legs to deploy simultaneously, streamlining setup. Without a center column, height is controlled through adjustable legs, offering flexibility in any setting. The integrated leveling system further ensures precise horizon alignment in seconds, which is vital for maintaining seamless production flow.

Both heads feature the side-lock camera plate mechanism and are compatible with Manfrotto’s XCHANGE quick release system, which is central to the “ONE” brand ethos.
The ONE Video tripod, complete with the advanced 502X Fluid Head, is available for $600. Alternatively, the tripod paired with the 500X head costs $520, presenting an accessible entry point for filmmakers seeking robust and adaptable gear.
