Manfrotto Xchange Base Summary
The Manfrotto Xchange Base is part of a modular quick release system, designed to simplify switching between heads, tripods and accessories within the ONE Hybrid ecosystem. It is compatible with any support that uses a 3/8” thread, and is a lightweight, low-profile base, which work seamlessly with the Xchange Plate (MAONEQR-PLATE) and accessories like the 60mm Flat Base Adapter (MAONEQR-ADPFB60). The base features a dual-locking system with mechanical teeth, that provides 360° movement with secure, twist-lock positioning, which locks in place effortlessly after a simple drop-in motion.
Thanks to its rugged aluminium and zinc alloy build, it supports payloads up to 20kg while keeping weight and size to a minimum. It’s designed to integrate with the Manfrotto ONE Aluminium Tripod, ONE Carbon Fibre Tripod, and 500X Fluid Head, but also fits any rig or tripod with standard 3/8” fittings. This makes it an excellent choice for hybrid creators who want a fast, tool-free system that allows them to quickly switch between sliders, boom poles and supports for stills and video content creation.

Benefits of the Manfrotto Xchange System
The Xchange system was developed by Manfrotto to streamline the way hybrid creators work in the field. Its intuitive drop-in mechanism and secure twist-lock provide complete 360° freedom, allowing users to swap between heads, sliders and other accessories with ease. The design helps to reduce downtime and improves flexibility when switching between shooting styles or between photo and video, whether moving from a tripod to monopod, slider to rig, or switching orientation with the fluid head.
Because Xchange is compatible with any support that uses a standard 3/8” screw thread, it works across multiple tripod systems and excels when paired with the native ONE Aluminium or Carbon Tripod and 500X Fluid Head from the same ecosystem.
