This complete video tripod kit comes with the 501HDV Pro Video Head, 745B Lightweight Video Tripod, and MBAG80P carrying bag.
Inside the 501HDV is a fixed counterbalance spring (set for a typical weight of camer plus accessories of 5.5lbs) that helps ensure both smoother tilt movements and greater equipment safety even when tilt locks are inadvertently left off. The easy-to-reach on/off switch allows the counterbalance system to be disengaged or re-engaged for different filming setups.
On the outside, the 501HDV has been designed for improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow a more solid grip and better fingertip control. The 501HDV also features separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment sytem, flat base (with standard 3/8" thread), quick release camera plate and repositionable pan bar.
The 745B is a two stage aluminum tripod specifically geared towards the "on-the-go" videographers looking for a simple, straightforward, and affordable tripod without sacrificing stability. With a maximum load capacity of 13.2 lbs, this tripod is designed to handle payloads commonly associated with Mini DV or DVCAM. An integrated 50mm leveling ball allows for quick set up with +/-15º of leveling capability.
