Manfrotto Lightweight Fluid Video Tripod System
The Manfrotto Lightweight Fluid Video Tripod includes the fluid video head (60mm half ball) MVH500A and the twin leg video tripod MVT502AM (aluminum, middle spreader). The MVH500A has a lightweight head with a wider platform for HDSLR bodies and includes a sliding plate to balance the latest interchangeable lens cameras. The 500 ensures smooth shots and fine control with up to 5kg (11 lbs) of equipment. The MVH500A comes with a 60mm half ball video tripod mount. It has professional fluid cartridges on both pan and tilt axes to ensure that every camera movement is smooth, controlled and precise. The side lock system allows the camera and sliding QR plate to click quickly into the head from above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. The side lock system also makes it quicker and simpler to lift the camera out of the head from above. The 500 is able to support equipment of up to 5kg (11 lbs), and has one Easy Link 3/8” connector to allow an external monitor or other accessory equipment to be fitted.
The tripod portion of this tripod system is a traditional 2-stage, aluminium twin-tube video tripod. It has telescopic aluminium legs for compactness and reduced weight; and leg locking collars give it excellent rigidity and stability. The first-stage spreader has improved ergonomics and ease of use, while the tripod’s rubber feet improve grip on all floor and ground surfaces. A rubber strap ensures easier, safer transport. This is an ideal way to shoot fluid panning video.
