MANFROTTO 503HDV PRO FLUID TRIPOD HEAD WITH HANDLE AND QUICK RELEASE PLATE
I purchased this head brand new 2.5 years ago from BHphoto.com. It is used, but when not in use it was always stored in a tripod back in the closet, I take extremely great care of all of my production gear as you can see it almost looks brand new in the photos and is extremely clean and works perfectly.
*Note: There are a few small scratches on top part of the tripod handle as shown in the photos, this can be easily touched up with some black touch up paint, I never got around to touching it up. I upgraded to the 504HD head and got a new tripod so that is why I'm selling this 503HDV head here on Ebay.
Information as listed at BHphoto.com:
Being very much aware of changing trends in the video world, Manfrotto revised their proven 503 fluid head taking into account the increasing performance demands of High Definition Mini-DV camcorders. The result is the 503HDV Pro.With regard to ergonomics, the engineers at Manfrotto designed the 503HDV with entirely left-handed controls to enhance operational efficiency. Since camera controls are generally left-handed, every setting may be inspected and verified at a glance, facilitating rapid setups from shot to shot.The greater resolution of High Definition video means that details as well as errors in movement are more apparent, and thereby demands a more refined means of support. The continuously-variable fluid drag system of the 503HDV provides just the right amount of dampening for any shot on your list-from whip pans to slow motion, just dial in drag to touch. This capability in conjunction with the 3-step counterbalance delivers the type of fingertip camera control normally reserved for much more costly production fluid heads. ENG crews and independent filmmakers alike will appreciate the thoughtful, full-featured design of the 503HDV fluid head as it expands their shooting gamut without unnecessarily shrinking their budgets. As with all other Bogen/Manfrotto supports, it includes a two-year warranty and comprehensive online documentation.
