Manfrotto Virtual reality & Pan Head MH057A5 & 338 Levelling Base for Video or stills. Condition is Used. Replacement price for MH057A5 & 388 Base $1200. Sent with Australia Post Standard Service. 

The MH057A5 pan head permits the photographer to take sequential constant-angle shots around a single axis with his or her camera either in portrait or landscape position, and with the nodal point of the camera/lens in line with the centre of panoramic rotation to ensure that parallax effects do not cause problems during image stitching. It is built around (and includes) the 300N panoramic unit, adding a system of sliding horizontal and vertical plates for accurate positioning of the camera nodal point. The plates have engraved index rules to make subsequent repositioning easier. The included quick release elbow bracket lets the photographer use the portrait orientation of the camera gaining vertical field. The system is suitable for most 35mm SLR still and digital stills cameras using wide-angle or standard lenses.

The 338 is fitted between tripod and head and is used in combination with tripods that don’t have built-in levelling mechanisms. Its three adjustment dials enable the operator to make fine, finger tip adjustments up to +/- 5 degrees to ensure the camera is perfectly level. The dials also have locking rings to ensure stability once the right position is reached. A spirit level is built in for reference. The base has a 3/8” female tripod fitting and a 3/8” male head fitting.
