The Story
The Manfrotto 501PLONG is an extended quick release plate designed for camcorders with unusual weight distribution, such as those with long telephoto lenses or heavy batteries. Its 110mm laser-engraved scale allows precise balance positioning, and the movable VHS location pin maximizes the range of balance adjustments. Made of durable aluminum, it includes two 1/4" and two 3/8" camera fixing screws and is compatible with heads featuring the RC5 quick release system.
