Take advantage of the flexibility of your mobile device for recording and playback while bringing smooth camera moves to your shoot with the 504X Fluid Head & Carbon Fiber Tripod System with Mid-Level Spreader, Ultrasone Headphones & Amplifier from Manfrotto. Pairing the 504X tripod system with high-quality headphones and a mobile device audio amplifier allows the director or on-set editor to play back the audio from their device without interrupting the flow of the shoot by the camera as the playback device, preventing you from shooting.

Import your video/audio into your mobile playback device, and watch the video while listening to the audio through a professional amplifier and headphones, so you can evaluate the audio quality and not have to guess at the sound through earbuds. The closed-back design of the headphones provides excellent sound isolation when on location, and the DAC connects directly to your mobile device and features 1/8" (3.5mm) and 3/32" (2.5mm) output ports, allowing you to connect the included headphones for monitoring. An internal battery can power the DAC for up to 20 hours. The 504X head, combined with the lightweight carbon fiber legs and mid-level spreader, provides a solid platform supporting cameras and accessories up to 26.5 lb.

Manfrotto 504X Fluid Video Head with Flat Base

The 504X Fluid Video Head with Flat Base from Manfrotto features an open bridge design that provides a stable, smooth performance while reducing weight. The head's patented bridge technology allows for a wider top surface and longer sliding plate that add stability and balance. The head features a flat base with a 3/8"-16 female mounting thread that allows compatibility with a wide range of tripods, monopods, sliders, jibs, and dollies, and a variety of rigs.

With its ability to support up to 26.5 lb, the 504X can be used with a variety of video and photo cameras and rigs. The pan and tilt counterbalance system includes four presets from 0 to 4.8 to 9.7 to 14.3 lb, enabling proper balance no matter what the camera's size or weight.

At the same time, variable friction components with clearly marked degree scales and vibration-free movement bring new levels of fine-tuning to your tilts and pans. A leveling bubble keeps horizons from tilting, even in the dark, while independent disc-brake locks make sure the head stays secure when at rest.

Whether you're using a pro camcorder or an accessorized DSLR, the 504X provides a 504PLONGR-1 sliding quick release plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads to balance the camera properly on your rig. The head is made from durable aluminum and includes a pan bar that can be attached via rosettes on either the right or left side to help create smooth pan-and-tilt movements.

Quick Features

• Fluid drag system for precise, smooth movements
• Wide top surface and long sliding plate for extra stability and balance while using video or photo equipment
• Four-step counterbalance system ensures quick setup and optimal performance
• Rigid structure for maximum precision and improved responsiveness

Manfrotto Carbon Fiber Twin Leg Video Tripod Legs with Mid-Level Spreader (100/75mm Bowl)

The Manfrotto Carbon Fiber Twin Leg Video Tripod Legs with Mid-Level Spreader is suitable for use on flat, smooth surfaces as well as uneven terrain, and it features carbon fiber tubes that are both strong and lightweight while being corrosion resistant. The legs incorporate a 100mm half bowl and include a 75mm adapter ring, so you can use them with heads that have either a 100 or 75mm half ball. The legs support up to 44.1 pounds, which allows you to mount an appropriately sized fluid head, camera, and accessories without straining the capacity of the legs.

With the included mid-level spreader attached the height of the legs can be adjusted from just under 2 to over 5 feet high, and the legs collapse to under 28 inches in length for transport and storage. Removing the included rubber feet reveals the dual spiked feet, which are useful for soft surfaces such as gravel, dirt, or sand. The legs weigh a mere 6.61 pounds, making them easy to take almost anywhere you can go.

• The integrated lever locks are strong, durable, and increase the torsional stability of the legs.
• The included adapter ring is removable and attaches with three mounting screws. Attaching the adapter converts the 100mm bowl into a 75mm bowl.
• The removable mid-level spreader enables using the legs on uneven terrain, and can be used to stabilize the legs on uneven surfaces such as stairs.

Ultrasone Signature DXP Closed-Back Stereo Headphones

The Ultrasone Signature DXP Headphones are dynamic closed-back headphones designed to deliver natural sound, noise-isolation, and minimized fatigue to professional DJs, musicians, audio engineers, and sound recordists on the road or in the studio. The 50mm Mylar drivers produce a frequency response of 5 Hz to 30 kHz with a maximum SPL of 115 dB.

The S-Logic Plus technology employed creates a more natural, three-dimensional sound, while reducing SPL at the eardrum by several decibels. Ultrasone’s ULE shielding diminishes the magnetic radiation produced by typical headphones. Use the 9.8’ cable with the 1/4” jack when performing, or go with the 3.9’ cable with the 3.5mm jack when connecting to a smartphone. For safe and easy transport, the headphones can be folded and stored in the supplied carrying case.

Basic Features

• 50mm Mylar drivers
• Closed-back design minimizes sound leakage
• Foldable for compact storage
• 5 Hz to 30 kHz frequency range
• Detachable single-sided cable
• Includes carrying case with zipper
• Includes two different cables
  • 9.8' coiled cable with 1/4" gold-plated plug; bayonet connection to headphone
  • 3.9' straight cable with 3.5mm gold-plated plug, microphone, and remote control; bayonet connection to headphone

S-Logic Plus Natural Surround Sound

• S-Logic uses decentralized driver positioning rather than digital processing to send music around your ears not just into them. Instead of hitting the inner ear directly, the signals are reflected off the surface of the outer ear in different directions before entering the auditory canal. This aids in creating a natural, three-dimensional sound
• S-Logic also provides a reduction of sound pressure levels at the eardrum by about 3 to 4 dB. This may reduce the risk of hearing damage while ensuring hours of fatigue-free listening
• S-Logic Plus combines precision dampening with micro-acoustic reinforcement, allowing driver, buffer-board, and spatial parameters to complement one another in an optimal manner. The acoustically redesigned earcups and their tonal fine-tuning result in a neutral sound impression with more vivid perception of voices and instruments

ULE Technology

• Many headphones' drivers produce low-frequency magnetic fields as they convert an electrical signal into the acoustical signal that we hear as music. Ultrasone developed a special MU Metal shielding called ULE (Ultralow Emission technology) to reduce this radiation by up to 98% compared to conventional headphones
