Manfrotto 501HDV-351MVB Video Tripod & Head Kit

Designed to accommodate evolving Video technology, the 501HDV features improved drag in both axes and switchable counterbalance for the latest Ultra Light High-Definition Camcorders. In addition, controls have been repositioned and reshaped for superior operational ergonomics. A sliding camera plate helps balance uneven payloads due to outboard Batteries or matte boxes, dual rosettes permit left- or two-handed pan arm configurations, and the rear-mounted spirit level facilitates rapid setups. Simplicity and strength are the two main features of the 1-stage aluminum alloy 351MVB tripod. One stage means longer leg tubes with fewer joints, and therefore a more rigid support. Designed with tandem upper legs and single lower legs with variable angle adjustment and twin-spiked feet, the 351MVB Tripod is supplied with a 75 mm half-bowl attachment. A built-in spreader is achieved with the two-step leg angle positioning system located at the top tripod spider.
