Manfrotto 502 Tripod quick guide

The Manfrotto 502 tripod is the main tripod used by 1st years.

The Sony NX100, Canon DSLR cameras, and Bolex cameras can all

use the 502 easily. The 502 is also available for C100 cameras if a

lighter tripod is necessary.

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.

The tension ring on the

side increases and

decreases the tension

on the tilt movement.

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.

This toggle loosens or locks

the pan movement of the

tripod.

The large red 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.

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 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.

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 connect the rubber

clip to the hooks on one of the legs.

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.

Most tripod heads house a spring, this is part

of the counterbalance system they use to

enable them to take heavier cameras.

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.
