Manfrotto 504 Manual de usuario

The Manfrotto 504 tripod is the main tripod used from 2nd year into

post graduate study.

The C100 cameras, Panasonic 101 cameras, Blackmagic cinema

camera and the Sony FS5 camera all use this tripod.

This tutorial will go over the basics of what each part of the tripod is

and does and how to pack it properly in order to not damage it.

Manfrotto 504 Tripod quick guide

Button on back

This toggle loosens

the arm grip

allowing you to

move it to a

comfortable

position.

When packing

away let the arm

fall downwards by

loosening here,

don’t force the

arm down as this

will damage the

head.

The tension ring on the bottom

increases and decreases the

tension on the pan movement.

The toggle on the side unlocks the plate which

can then be slid out by pressing the button on

the back.

The plate also slides on and off from the back.

This toggle loosens or

locks the tilt of the

tripod. The head should

always be flat and in a

neutral position when

put away or not in use.

The tension ring on the

side increases and

decreases the tension

on the tilt movement.

This toggle loosens or locks

the pan movement of the

tripod.

The screw handle beneath the legs and

head can be loosened to change the

levelling of the head. You can check to see

if the head is straight with the spirit level.

Spirit level at the back.

There are 6 tightening locks down the legs

in total. Each can be loosened to extend the

height of the tripod. The tripod has a

maximum height of around 165cm tall.

You can open out the locks by pulling on

the side or close them by pushing down.

At the base of the legs are a

set of spreaders. Loosening

the screws allows you to

open these spreaders out.

Loosening the toggle on the arm allows

you to increase or decrease the arm’s

length to a more comfortable position.

To remove the tripod

from the spreader, pull

up on the rubber clip on

the spreader and then

push it down over the

foot. You should then be

able to release the foot.

The 504 head has a counterbalance

system, located on the side here. Shifting

this toggle activates or deactivates the

spring inside the head and increase the

strength of the counterbalancing.

Top of bag (head end)

Bottom of bag (feet end)

Tripod heads are naturally

heavier than their legs. Because

of this many of the bags are

offset slightly so that they lean

more towards the legs. This is a

counterbalancing design and

means, when held, the bag

should rest perfectly straight.

One easy way to work out if the

tripod is the right way up is to

stand both the bag and tripod

upright. The bags naturally have

a bottom section where the feet

of the tripod will go. Simply put

the standing tripod into the bag

feet first and then zip it up.

The 504 head uses a spring as part of the counterbalance system.

These springs are vulnerable to stretching and breaking. For this

reason, tripod heads should be stored away flat and not tilted up or

down.

Reminder, when lowering the arm, make sure you undo the

tightening toggle, this will loosen it and it should just flop down. DO

NOT force the arm down as this may damage the spring.

Tripods, like all pieces of equipment, need to be packed in a certain

way so that our tripods are protected, and you are comfortable

carrying them. When packing away use the locks on the legs

collapse the tripod down and bring the legs together.

With the legs together

pull the elastic clip out

and round. Going from

one leg, over the second

and clipping to the third.
