Mounting Screw for Handle for 505 by Manfrotto (MPN R550,262)

Replacement mounting screw designed to secure the handle assembly of Manfrotto 505-series heads and supports. This spare part restores the connection between the handle and the 505 head or grip when the original fastening screw is worn, damaged, or missing. It is engineered to match the mechanical fit and thread engagement required for reliable reattachment of compatible handle assemblies.

Advantages

The mounting screw provides a precise fit that reestablishes proper handle function and stability. Manufactured to match the original component's dimensions and thread profile, it helps maintain safe operation of the 505 head and support. Using a correct replacement preserves the mechanical alignment of the handle assembly and reduces play or looseness that can affect control and positioning.

Suitable for

• Repairing or restoring Manfrotto 505-series tripod heads and supports
• Replacing a lost or damaged handle fastening screw
• Maintenance of grip and handle assemblies on compatible camera support equipment

Key specifications

• Function: Handle mounting / fastening screw for 505-series assemblies
• Compatibility: Designed for use with Manfrotto 505-series heads, grips and supports
• Material characteristics: metal construction appropriate for mechanical fastening (corrosion-resistant finish where applicable)
• Form factor: machine-threaded screw sized to match original handle attachment requirements

How to use

Ensure the equipment is stable and unloaded before beginning replacement. Remove any remaining fragment of the old screw and clean mating threads on both the handle and head. Align the handle assembly with the threaded receptacle on the 505 head or support and insert the replacement screw by hand to engage the threads without cross-threading. Tighten the screw until the handle is secure and there is no unwanted movement; avoid over-tightening to prevent thread or component damage. Verify handle function and repeat tightening if necessary after initial use.

Usage recommendations

Use the mounting screw only with compatible 505-series components and follow manufacturer torque guidance if available. Periodically inspect fastening points for looseness or corrosion and replace the screw if wear is evident. If unsure about compatibility or installation, consult product documentation or an authorized service provider.
