Manfrotto 501PLong Video Plate | Extended Quick-Release Plate

Achieve flawless cinematic balance and unwavering stability for your video setup with the Manfrotto 501PLong Video Plate, an essential accessory for professional videographers and filmmakers. As a leading choice in professional photo-video plates, this extended quick-release plate is precision-engineered to solve the common challenge of balancing camera rigs with non-standard weight distributions. Whether you are using a heavy telephoto lens for wildlife videography or a large battery pack for extended shooting sessions, the 501PLong provides the extended adjustment range you need for perfectly smooth pans, tilts, and dynamic camera movements.

This long version of the standard plate allows perfect balance for camcorders with unusual weight distribution caused by long tele lenses or heavy batteries. The plate has a laser engraved scale to help identify the optimal positions (110mm). In order to have the max range of balance positions, the VHS location pin can be moved along the length of the plate. Supplied with 2x1/4´´ and 2x3/8´´ camera fixing screws.

The 501PLong is designed for efficiency and precision on set. The laser-engraved reference scale along its side allows you to note and recall the exact balance point for different camera and lens combinations. This feature is a significant time-saver, enabling you to switch configurations and re-establish perfect balance in seconds, ensuring shot consistency and a faster workflow. The extra length offers a superior fore-and-aft adjustment range on the video head, giving you the critical control needed to counteract front-heavy or back-heavy rigs. Furthermore, the adjustable VHS anti-rotation pin can be repositioned along the plate´s length, providing an additional layer of customization to maximize the balancing range and secure your camera firmly in place, preventing any unwanted twisting. This plate is an indispensable tool for anyone seeking to elevate their production quality by ensuring their camera is perfectly counterbalanced for every single shot.
