Manfrotto MVA50A Fluid Base - Compact fluid-drag video base for monopods

The Manfrotto MVA50A is a compact, fluid-drag video base that transforms any 20 mm monopod into a smooth-panning, tilt-capable mini video monopod. It features retractable rubber/metal feet and a built-in ball joint for fast ground leveling, making it ideal for videographers, wedding shooters, and wildlife photographers who require fluid head performance without the bulk of a tripod.

With the MVA50A, you can easily convert your photo monopod into a full-featured video monopod. Simply slide it onto the bottom 20 mm section of any compatible monopod and lock it in place. Enjoy silky-smooth fluid pan and tilt movement, quick leveling on uneven terrain, and three retractable feet for stability. An included adapter allows for a 1/4"-20 to 3/8"-16 video head thread conversion. Weighing only 380 g and collapsing to 13.5 cm, it enhances your monopod's creative potential without adding bulk.
