Calha de engate rápido longa Manfrotto 501PLONG

Cinematographers and videographers using Manfrotto 501-series fluid video heads will appreciate the extended travel of the 501PLONG sliding plate. Mount your camera, slide it fore and aft to fine-tune balance, and lock it down—all without removing the plate from the head. The long design is especially handy when working with heavier rigs or when you need extra room to shift the centre of gravity.

Key specifications

• Compatible with Manfrotto 501HDV and other 501-series fluid video heads
• Extended length for greater balance adjustment range
• 1/4"-20 camera screw and 3/8" adapter for broad camera compatibility
• Durable aluminium construction with black finish
• Includes video locating pin to prevent camera twist

Why choose it

The 501PLONG gives you more sliding travel than a standard plate, so you can achieve perfect balance even with front-heavy lenses or accessories. Its robust build ensures reliable performance in the field, while the included adapter means it works with nearly any camera or camcorder.

Ideal use cases

• Balancing DSLR or mirrorless cameras with heavy lenses on video heads
• Quick camera changes on set without rebalancing from scratch
• Improving stability for smooth pans and tilts
• Using long telephoto lenses that shift the centre of gravity forward

Good to know

This plate is a direct replacement for the standard 501PL plate and offers the same secure locking mechanism. It is compatible with all Manfrotto 501-series heads and many other fluid heads that accept Manfrotto-style plates.
