Manfrotto Tripod Kit 645 Fast Twin + Ball joint 504X

Tripod 645 Fast Twin with ball joint MANFROTTO

This kit consists of the fluid video ball joint MANFROTTO 504X tripod 645 Fast Twin aluminum.

The MANFROTTO 504X fluid ball joint represents an innovation in video recording technology for professionals and independent content creators. It is a great step forward in the evolution of the ball joint with bridging technology, beyond the successful 504HD that it replaces.

Capturing professional images with smooth movements is essential for any independent filmmaker or content creator, and the 504X fluid ball joint is the perfect companion for such creatives at all times. MANFROTTO has combined features of the successful and proven 504HD fluid video ball joint and completely new ones, such as reduced weight and a flat base, to meet the needs of the market. The result is an extremely versatile video ball joint in terms of supports (tripods, sliders, arms, etc.), environmental conditions and working cameras.

The 504X ball joint integrates a Fluid Drag System (FDS) in both pan and tilt movements, marking a new level of performance in the MANFROTTO range, to achieve the smoothest and most vibration-free movements to date. It is capable of operating in extreme conditions, between temperatures of -30 to +60°.

Thanks to its 4-stop counterbalancing system (from 0 to 6.5 kg at a center of gravity of 55 mm), the camera is always balanced quickly and simply. This allows the ball joint to be used in combination with a wide range of camcorders and digital cameras, along with different accessories. Independent brakes on the TILT and PAN motion axes increase the ability to keep equipment stable and safe and in the required position.

The 504X can support a maximum load of 12 kg, and its design incorporates a flat base of 75 mm that ensures maximum versatility, as it can be used with sliders, arms or other accessories. Weighing just 1.93kg, the 504X is also 700g lighter than the previous version, allowing for easier handling. In addition, it is made of aluminum to achieve maximum robustness and rigidity with minimum weight.

Another feature that improves ease of use is the new side-mounted ''Side Lock'' sliding shoe, for faster setup. The easy link connectors feature the renowned MANFROTTO anti-rotation technology and the Arri pin system. On the left side, we find a lid that covers the easy link 3/8" connector or the hook for the pan bar, to avoid cuts during use.

The 645 FTT Fast Twin aluminum tripod integrates a double tube and FAST Lever Lock crank technology for an extraordinarily robust support. The tripod is equipped with a 2-in-1 hemisphere: a standard 100 mm platter with a 75 mm adapter that allows the use of a wider range of video ball joints. It also integrates a central extender lock. However, the 3-angle selectors make the use of the extender an optional preference.

This range is developed with the aim of facilitating video recording by reducing maintenance and assembly time. The synchronized locking mechanism between superior and bottom locks allows video creators to control the entire leg with a single lock, starting working right away. The tripod offers maximum versatility and is compatible with a wide variety of ball joints, guaranteeing great rigidity, as well as being very light.

In addition, it is compatible with the central and 2-in-1 floor extender (sold as an optional accessory), integrating a 3-angle selection mechanism for easy assembly. It is equipped with pointed feet covered with rubber for a firm grip and adaptation to all possible scenarios
