Today we are taking a look at two video heads by Manfrotto, the 504x and the Nitrotech 608. This will be the second part of this dual Manfrotto product review where in the first part we looked at two Manfrotto video tripod legs.
A few weeks ago, we published a review of Manfrotto 635 and 645 video tripods legs. These are part of a whole range of new video-centric accessories that the company has been introducing gradually over the past several years which also includes the two advanced fluid heads that we shall review today.
