The Manfrotto ONE Hybrid Series was designed from the ground up to cater to the growing community of hybrid shooters – professionals who regularly switch between photo and video workflows.
At the heart of the system is the new Manfrotto 500X Fluid Head, a refined version of the industry-favorite MVH500AH, optimized for smoother pan-tilt actions, stronger payload support, and better quick-release safety mechanisms. Combined with redesigned lightweight aluminum or carbon fiber legs, the Hybrid Series promises rigidity without bulk.

🧲 Magnetic Locking System: Quick deployment and rock-solid leg security

-
Wedding cinematographers who need fluid panning shots on the go
