The Manfrotto MHXPRO-3WG is a compact geared three-way pan/tilt tripod head made of durable black technopolymer. With a maximum payload up to 4 kg, a height of 130 mm and a weight of just 0.75 kg, this head combines portability with stable support and precise camera positioning. It includes the standard 200PL quick-release plate and uses a 3/8" mounting thread for wide tripod compatibility. Designed and engineered in Italy, the MHXPRO-3WG features geared movement for micro-step framing on all three axes and comes with a 10-year warranty.

Advantages

Lightweight construction makes the head easy to carry while retaining rigidity and load capacity. Ergonomically shaped knobs ensure comfortable operation during extended use, and the included 200PL plate allows quick camera attachment without changing plates. The 3/8" mounting thread ensures compatibility with most professional tripods.
