Manfrotto 535 CF Tripod Kit with 501HDV Pro Head and Case

The Manfrotto 501HDV,535K kit contains the Manfrotto 501 HDV Series Head, the Manfrotto MPRO 535 Carbon Fiber 2-Stage Video Tripod and MBAG100P Tripod Case.

Inside the 501HDV is a powerful new feature that takes its inspiration from our top professional video head models – a fixed counterbalance spring (set for a typical weight of camera + accessories of 2.5kg) 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. But from the outside, the first thing that you’ll notice about the new 501HDV video head is its updated design – completely retuned for much improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow a more solid grip and better fingertip control. The 501HDV inherits its separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system, flat base (with standard 3/8” thread), quick release camera plate and repositionable pan bar from its successful predecessor.

3-Section, 75mm. Half Bowl Carbon fiber tubes and magnesium die castings, the 535 video tripod has great stability, stable, high load capability and great max height with an ergonomic and easy-to-use and compact design. In addition, a new leg angle selector has been develop for adjusting the leg angle in a quick, easy and precise way.

501HDV/535 Features:

• Manfrotto's carbon fiber tubing is popular among outdoor photographers because it's light in weight, but not everyone knows it's also more rigid and supports heavier loads than aluminum - giving it a double advantage.
• Retractable spiked feet mean you can use this both outdoors and indoors on delicate floor surfaces (with the rubber foot covering the spike to avoid damage and give more stable non-slip support)
• Ergonomic and easy to use
• Materials, design and construction techniques have been carefully selected to help save weight without sacrificing stability or strength
• Lightweight magnesium is used for die-cast parts.Despite its lower weight, magnesium is more rigid than aluminum, and has the same strength per volume.
• This tripod features a newly designed ergonomic leg angle selector. This new angle selector improves the comfort and the precision in use.
• Manfrotto tubes are made of 100% Carbon Fiber in order to reach high quality standards and high levels of performance, rigidity and lightness.
