Manfrotto 542ART Systems




"Squid" mid level spreader blocks the spreader brace inclination for improved tripod stability even with a smaller footprint.
Manfrotto 542ART


The New Carbon Fiber 542ART Tripod has all of the features of its popular predecessor, the Manfrotto 540ART, and includes new, practical innovations like a unique “squid” spreader that delivers even more flexibility for shooting in tight spaces.

  • Improved anti-torsion resistance
  • Legs lock safely in position even when space is limited and the tripod’s footprint is smaller than usual.
  • Fine tune the spreader brace angle to suit virtually any working position.
  • Carbon fiber tubing makes this two-stage video tripod one of the lightest in its class.
  • Patented A.R.T. (Advanced Release Technology) mechanism for the fastest opening, positioning, and closing of any video tripod -- ideal for news crews filming under pressure. Allows the tripod to be opened and locked into position as soon as the legs have been spread without any hand-operated buttons or levers.
  • Double stainless steel spiked feet give great traction on uneven terrain or odd angles.
  • Smooth surfaces? Pull on/off rubber feet are quickly and easily installed.
  • Supplied with a 75mm-100mm bowl adapter for compatibility with all industry-standard half-ball video heads.

This technology is based on the movement of the mid-level spreader during the opening and closing of the tripod, and operates the locking devices of the top and bottom leg sections.
