Under Counter Fridge With Lock

Under $5, how could you go wrong? Thank You!

I use this at work for photos & videos. I really like the counter balance feature; when recording a video you do NOT have to lock the head, possibly causing camera-shake.

I used these on the tripod base, as a counter weight for my camera tripod when shooting with the bar horizontal to the ground and to lock stands in place. The quality is so much better than some of the cheaper bags I bought that just tear at the slight tug.

Bought this about a year ago. I use medium size rigs on it. built up c70 with Ninja V and follow focus and other not so heavy things. I'm guessing about 6lbs. This works like a champ! Its smooth and the drag controls are spot on. They're tuned to each other, meaning if you put the tilt on 2 and pan on 2, you can make a nice circle movement and not notice any difference in the two resistance. Not to mention completely repeatable, unlike those friction clutch systems. The counter balance system is great too. But if you use just a dslr or mirrorless by itself, it may be too light for the counter balance, even at the 1 setting. Some people mentions that there is no in between increments (there are only 4 settings), but I had yet to have a rig not balance on those 4 settings. The locks are great and nothing moves once locked. but I don't like the placement of the pan lock. Its too tucked in. You have to fumble around like a teenager trying to... never mind. I like the way the handle can telescope out. The longer handle will give you less shake, if using a very long lens or you had too much coffee. The ball lock is good too. Never had it slip on me yet. Its not the most comfortable shaped knob but since you don't have to twist it that hard lock or unlock, its not too bad. I wish the head was lighter, but its a video head, I guess you really can't skimp on weight. This is a couple of notches higher than your budget friction fluid heads for sure. Love it!

The Manfrottoo 504X is a very good redesign of the original 504. The 504X is slightly lighter, more ergonomic, and some better qualities. Right off the bat they relocated the pan lock to the back of the unit versus having to reach to the front center which was very awkward. The pan drag resistance is right under the pan lock on the left, easily accessible and easily turntable. The counter balance is on the right side, easy to get to, easy to use. It has 4 settings that fits most weight variants in camera/optic gear. The quick release plate is now an angled drop and click versus the slide and lock from the back. This redesign is faster and more on par with professional quick release plates on much more expensive heads. Being a flat head, the 504X has more versatility to it, like using it with more equipment like sliders, etc. The 504X can make some slight noises here and there as the drag/counter balance systems are initiated whether when you first start using them or if the head has been sitting for a while and then used again. Nothing good sound editing can't get rid of. The 504X does take some proper getting to know it to get it all right, so you get the benefits of all its features, i.e., properly balancing your gear before even using any of the drag resistance or counter balance then utilizing the counter balance, tilt/pan drag resistance and tilt/pan locks all within proper symmetry of your given weight of your optical gear. Overall, unless you are made of money and willing to fork out $1,000.00s for Very Exorbitant makes of video heads then the MANFROTTO 504X is a Very hard to beat for this level of Quality at such a decent price!

Under 20 bucks and it works

Works for my Microframe counter.

Just what I wanted for the fridge. Quick service, which I appreciate.

Great reader. It even attaches to my fridge because of magnet!
