Manfrotto 519 Pro Video Head

A compact, yet heavy-duty fluid video head capable of accommodating a payload up to 22 lbs. The 519 is so unique in that it is the only video head on the market encompassing both interchangable counter-balance springs and an adjustment knob.

Combining both features allows videographers to easily interchange a vast array of cameras of various weights, as well as quickly fine tune the perfect balance point of whatever camera being used -- all with just one head.

The 519 comes with two springs: one for cameras in the 2-10lb range, and the other for cameras within the 11-22lb range.

In addition, fluid drag is easily controlled with a large numbered knob for repeatable settings and reference. Drag can be adjusted from the highest possible setting to zero drag, allowing for the finest control through 360 degree pan and +91.5 to -90 degree tilt.

The 542 Tripod uses Manfrotto's patented A.R.T. (Advanced Release Technology) mechanism for the fastest opening, positioning and closing of any video tripod in the world, ideal for filming under pressure. Comes with 100mm-75mm bowl adapter for compatibility with all industry-standard half-ball video heads. Included mid level "squid" spreader offers improved antitorsion resistance and keeps the legs locked safely in position even when space is cramped and the tripod footprint is necessarily smaller. Double stainless steel spiked feet come with quick-on/off rubber shoes for better grip on smooth floors. No protruding parts, levers or knobs to catch or damage. When closed, the tripod legs interlock without additional clips, straps or hooks to ensure compactness and prevent damage. The leg lock mechanism can be adjusted to increase or reduce tightness.

The 532 Roadrunner Video Tripod is the aluminum version of the 542 Tripod.

The 351MVCF Tripod is the first two stage carbon fibre video tripod from Manfrotto, equipped with a 75 mm half bowl, which combine together a twin leg design for the first stage and a single leg design for the second stage of the tripod, all completed with a double spiked feet. The legs have two angle adjustment. If adjustment needs to be at 180° the tripod needs to be equipped with a mid level spreader 350SPRB. These technical solutions offer a tripod with a unrivalled torsion rigidity with substantial weight saving compared to other tripods. Made of composite aluminum, magnesium, carbon fibre and reinforced nylon plastic, the 351MVCF is one of the most innovative support solutions for DV, HDV, MINI DV and compact ENG cameras.

The various kits outlined in the pricing table below include the MBAG100P Padded Tripod Bag. It's slightly tapered to provide a better fit for your tripod with the head attached. The wider end of the bag accommodates the head without having to remove all the levers. The zipper extends down the length of the bag and fully opens the top end. The logo end cap is padded to protect the tripod head. Carry the bag horizontally by the side handle, upright by the end handle or shoulder carry it using the strap included. Made of ballistic nylon. The MBAG120P has the same great features but is the largest bag in the range with an inner pocket to hold accessories like video head pan bars.
