Manfrotto MVH500AH Fluid Head & 755CX3 MagFibre Tripod with Carrying Bag

The MVH500AH Fluid Head & 755CX3 MagFibre Tripod with Carrying Bag from Manfrotto is a comprehensive kit featuring a flat base fluid video head, a two-stage tripod with a flat base, and a convenient black and red over-the-shoulder carrying bag. This padded bag, equipped with a full-length zipper, is designed to comfortably hold both the tripod and head for easy transportation.

The fluid head is thoughtfully designed with a platform that is wider than standard, providing enhanced support for DSLRs. With a maximum load capacity of 17.6 lb, it offers versatility for various camera setups. Included in the package is the 500PLONG quick release plate, which attaches efficiently through the head's side lock system. This system allows the plate to be securely connected from above, eliminating the need to align and slide it in from one end. Fluid cartridges on both the pan and tilt axes ensure smooth and controlled movements. The tilt range spans from -70° to +90°, and the pan rotation is a complete 360°. For counterbalance, a spring-loaded preset at 5.3 lb is incorporated. The camera plate features both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screws. Additionally, the head possesses a 3/8"-16 tripod mounting thread, along with a 3/8" thread on the side to facilitate the attachment of accessories like a video monitor.

The two-stage tripod extends effortlessly from 18.3 to 54.7" via flip-lever lock clamps. Furthermore, the center column is adjustable in height, allowing for an extension to a maximum height of 64.6". If desired, the center column can be completely detached for handheld use while the camera is still attached. The tripod legs are crafted from lightweight and durable carbon fiber, which outperforms aluminum by effectively absorbing vibrations and remaining immune to corrosion from water, including saltwater.
