XCHANGE System

Integrated within the ONE tripod is the XCHANGE system, designed for the immediate exchange of heads, sliders, and various accessories. XCHANGE features a sophisticated quick release mechanism that utilizes a straightforward twist-lock system for either releasing or securing a compatible tripod head or accessory. Furthermore, with optional plates equipped with a 3/8"-16 mounting screw, the majority of heads and other support systems can be adapted to function seamlessly with the ONE tripod. Simply place the device onto the XCHANGE platform, and it will securely lock into position.

Leveling Column & Q90 Mechanism

Primarily found in video-focused tripod systems, the leveling ball or base is incorporated into the ONE, which introduces this technology into a hybrid tripod featuring a distinctive leveling column. A lever on the ONE facilitates quick and effortless leveling of your camera while capturing still images or video.

This column is also designed for versatility, equipped with a quick-detachable section that allows for swift adjustment of the tripod to a ground-level working height of merely 7.5 inches. As a standard column, it can naturally be utilized to increase the overall height of the tripod to an impressive 67.1 inches for overhead photography.

Effortlessly capture overhead shots with the aid of Manfrotto's Q90 mechanism. Transition the center column into a 90-degree angle seamlessly for enhanced photographic convenience.

Easy Link

Manfrotto has also incorporated an Easy Link thread into the ONE tripod. This attachment point is designed to support accessories like arms and features anti-rotation points for compatible support systems.

XTEND Leg Locking Mechanism

The three segments of every leg on the ONE tripod are engineered for rapid assembly utilizing the XTEND locking system. The singular, oversized lever lock situated at the apex of each leg simultaneously unlocks and secures all sections—eliminating the hassle of dealing with several locks on each leg.

Custom Design & Modular Feet

Although the ONE typically comes with rubber feet, these can be detached to expose spikes, which offer enhanced stability for shooting in specific conditions.

In contrast to the more traditional round leg sections, the Manfrotto ONE features a uniquely designed non-rounded shape that enhances rigidity, effectively resisting various forms of flexing.

Designed for Hybrid Professionals

Serving as the singular support that a content creator might require for capturing both still images and video, this tripod stands out as an excellent option for contemporary professionals and their adaptable mirrorless camera setups. It encompasses a variety of features, both traditional and innovative, designed to streamline and accelerate production processes, allowing creators to concentrate on what truly matters—devoting more time to their artistic endeavors.

Manfrotto 500X Fluid Head

Crafted to fulfill the requirements of contemporary content creators, the Manfrotto 500X Fluid Head effectively connects still photography and video technology, offering a comprehensive solution for both photography and filmmaking.

The standout feature of the 500X is its capability to swiftly switch from landscape to portrait orientation without the necessity of detaching your camera. This functionality is particularly beneficial for creators who frequently require various formats for their projects and social media updates. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of standard hybrid camera rigs with a maximum weight of 11 lb.

Smooth Movements

Featuring a Fluid Drag System (FDS) for both pan and tilt movements will help guarantee smooth, professional-looking video. There is also a built-in Counterbalance System that will help provide more control over your camera system.

XCHANGE System

Regarding mounting, the 500X is designed for rapid changes—allowing for effortless swapping of your tripod head for a slider or alternative support system. This efficiency is attributed to the XCHANGE mount system, which provides a reliable quick release mechanism for the head. The 500X is also compatible with any tripod legs that accommodate its 60mm flat base featuring a 3/8"16 thread.

Moreover, the 500X includes several basic conveniences, such as a standard 501PL-compatible quick release system for your camera and an integrated bubble level to guarantee level horizons.
