To achieve maximum image sharpness the camera must be set on a sturdy vibration free tripod fluid head offering smooth pan and tilt movements to iron out any jerky camera motion that will mar the recorded image; this unwritten rule applies both to professional and to amateur use.
Manfrotto has a wide range of quality systems for all applications, budgets and camera weights. The video heads they produce offer a variety of technical solutions for camera balancing, drag control, load bearing and tripod mounting.

Manfrotto Professional HD and DV Camcorder Tripod Kits
Kits chosen specifically to meet the demands and weight issues of medium duty MINI DV professional camcorders.
The 504HD,536K is a complete kit for heavy duty cameras. The kit consists of the Manfrotto 536 MPRO Four-Section Carbon Fiber Video Tripod, the 504HD Pro Video Head and the MBAG100PN Padded Tripod Bag. The Manfrotto MPRO 536 Video Tripod is manufactured with the world's most advanced high-performance materials: 100% carbon fiber tubes and magnesium die castings. Manfrotto technology produces an ergonomic, user-friendly video tripod that is incredibly lightweight yet stable, compact, versatile and easy to use. The MPRO 536 boasts a robust load capacity of 55 pounds and a maximum height of more than 6.5 feet. Four leg sections allow the MRO 536 to fold down to a closed length of under 28 inches. The 504HD has been designed to offer a load capacity of up to 16.5 pounds, making it suitable for a huge range of camera equipment. The CBS counterbalance system has four presets for a full range of camera weights. Leveling the head is easy thanks to the 75mm diameter hemisphere and the back-lit bubble level. Two 3/8-inch threads on the top plate allow accessories (such as monitors and arms) to be directly and securely attached to the head, which helps cut down set-up time, keeps your camera hot shoe free and, saves you from using another clamp. The 504HD is suitable for Manfrotto PRO series video tripods with mid-level or ground spreaders and for carbon fiber single-leg MPRO tripods.

The Manfrotto 504HD Video Fluid Head is a perfect balance of design and performance. The bridge design improves the head's rigidity and its Pan friction control is fast, simple to fine-tune and protected from knocks. All structural components are made from aluminum, with the Pan axis rotation unit using ball bearings to obtain smooth, totally vibration-free controlled movements that can be directly adjusted using the head's FDS variable friction system. FDS on both the Pan and Tilt axes also ensures that the head works perfectly at all temperatures, with all types of equipment and under all loads. Ergonomically improved lever and dial designs combine with the new friction index to give you complete control.
