Manfrotto ONE Hybrid Carbon Fiber Tripod with 500X Fluid Head

Content creators have changed over time, and the tools they rely on to produce great photos and videos have changed with them. Hybrid mirrorless systems now blend stills and motion. Vertical video and smartphones are common tools. The push for faster results and live content has created a need for more flexible, faster, and easier gear. These traits are all found in the Manfrotto ONE Tripod, which is built to meet the needs of today's creator working in both photography and video.

The Manfrotto ONE brings together the strengths of both photo and video tripods, forming a single solution for creators who need to capture sharp photos and smooth footage. It is well-suited for hybrid shooters who want fast setup, simple operation, and quick changes between modes.

At the heart of the tripod is the XCHANGE system. This feature allows users to swap out tripod heads and other gear with ease. Its twist-and-lock design gives strong support and a fast way to switch tools. Optional plates with standard thread sizes make it possible to use a wide range of heads and gear with this system. Just place your head or accessory on the platform, and it locks in right away.

To help creators level their camera with ease, the ONE adds a built-in leveling column. This is often found in video tripods, and it lets you quickly adjust your setup for even framing, whether you are shooting stills or motion.

The center column is also flexible. A removable lower section makes it possible to drop the tripod to just under seven inches from the ground. When needed, the full column extends to more than sixty-seven inches for high-angle shots.

For those who need overhead angles, the Q90 design allows the center column to move into a flat position. This helps with top-down shots or flat lays without needing extra tools.

The tripod also includes an Easy Link connection, which gives you a place to mount accessories like lights or arms. Anti-rotation points help keep those tools in place during use.

The tripod legs are divided into three sections and feature the XTEND locking system. With a single lever at the top of each leg, you can unlock and extend all the sections in one motion, making setup much faster.

The tripod's feet are rubber for grip on smooth surfaces, but they can be removed to expose spikes for use on rough ground or in outdoor settings.

Instead of the usual round legs, the ONE uses a shaped leg design that gives more strength and limits flex during use. This helps keep your shots steady in all types of shooting situations.

Because this tripod works so well for both photo and video use, it is an ideal pick for modern creators using flexible mirrorless setups. With both trusted and new features, it keeps your workflow smooth and lets you spend more time creating.

The 500X head adds more to this setup with a fast way to move your camera from landscape to portrait without needing to remove it. This is useful for those making content for different platforms or formats. It can hold many hybrid camera setups weighing up to eleven pounds.

With a built-in fluid drag system, both pan and tilt movements stay smooth and controlled. A counterbalance system adds extra control over your camera's motion.

For mounting, the 500X is made for fast changes. The XCHANGE system helps you switch between heads, sliders, or other tools quickly. It will fit any tripod legs that have a flat base and standard mounting threads.

The 500X also includes useful features like a standard quick release plate for the camera and a bubble level to keep shots straight.
