PROFESSIONAL VIDEO SUPPORTS 2004/05
SMOOTH, SHARP VIDEO AS YOU FOLLOW THE ACTION! To achieve maximum image sharpness, the camera must be mounted on a sturdy, “vibration free” tripod equipped with a fluid head able to offer smooth pan and tilt movements. This will eliminate unstable camera motion that could mar the recorded image. This unwritten rule works for all professional, prosumer and consumer applications.
WHY A FLUID HEAD? Manfrotto’s “pan & tilt movement” technology used for its complete range of semi-professional and professional video heads is based on a system of cartridges filled with a specific “silicon fluid”. This technology provides the smooth, constant movement needed to achieve “shake free” images while panning and tilting during all types of video shooting sessions.
Video heads MINI VIDEO HEAD 700RC2 3.8in 1.1lb 5.5lb 3157N A compact and lightweight two-movement video head designed to support the latest digital video equipment but also suited to still photographic cameras with medium and long tele lenses. The 700RC2 has a fixed length pan bar with padded handle and separate locking mechanisms for the 360° pan and the +90°/-75° tilt. Smooth and constant movements on both axes are assured by a fixed system of fluid cartridges.
Video heads MINI VIDEO HEAD 701RC2 4in 1.8lb 8.8lb 3157N Small and lightweight, this fluid video head is capable of accommodating a payload of up to 8.8 lb, and is ideal for set-ups such as a fully equipped 3 CCD mini DV camcorder or a spotting scope combined with a digital still or video camera for digiscoping purposes.
Video heads PRO VIDEO HEAD 3433 (501) 4.1in 3.3lb 13.2lb 3433PL Designed to support the latest range of small, professional digital cameras as well as cameras with longer lenses and spotting scopes, the 3433 (501) head gives best-in-the-market value and performance for payloads up to an ample 13.2 lb. The light but positive fluid movement provides exceptionally smooth control through 360° pan and +90° to -60° tilt.
Video heads PRO FLUID VIDEO HEAD 3460 (503) 4.1in 3.5lb 17.6lb 3433PL The 3460 is designed to support the latest professional digital video cameras. Particular care has been taken to achieve the best fluid control, the smoothest possible pan and tilt movements and the most customizable performance using a manually adjustable drag variation mechanism. Additionally, the 3460 is equipped with a built-in balance spring (set for an ideal load of approx. 5.
Video heads PRO FLUID VIDEO HEAD 516 4.9in 4.4lb 22lb 3272 Specifically designed for the latest DV camcorders used by documentary and industrial videographers the 516 head is very compact and light but can support cameras up to 22 lb. The 516 is a cost-effective highperformance head equipped with fluid cartridges that provide continuous adjustable drag control. This system gives a wide range of friction control down to “zero drag” and operates on both pan and tilt axis.
Video heads PRO FLUID VIDEO HEAD 519 5.9in 6.4lb 22lb 3433PL 75mm It’s a fact that not all cameras weigh the same. Some mini DV cameras may weigh only 2 lb while professional grade DV cameras can weigh up to 22 lb. Professionals have as many equipment options as they do shooting styles, utilizing a wide range of different cameras including MINI DV, DVCAM, HD, and ENG. When using numerous accessories, many of these setups can quickly overload video heads above the maximum recommended weight.
Video heads PRO FLUID VIDEO HEAD 3274 (316) 5.7in 10lb 13.2/35.3lb 3272 100mm The 3274 is designed for use with cameras weighing up to 35.3lb. It incorporates variable balance adjustment and fixed drag system that allows fingertip control at all times. Supplied with quick release sliding plate, secondary safety lock and two telescopic pan bars.
Video head accessories Compatible plates Compatible quick release adapters Range of additional plates for either fixed or sliding quick release assembly. Use to convert a non quick release camera platform into one of the three quick release systems used on all Manfrotto video heads or convert a variety of supports (jib arms, booms, monopods, brackets) compatible with the same camera plate attachment.
Video remote control Our video camera remote control units put the essential commands of market-leading video cameras from Sony, Canon and Panasonic at your fingertips when using a tripod and video head, a jib arm or crane, or any other kind of camera support. The range is divided not only by camera compatibility (due to different use of device protocols by manufacturers, each model has to be designed around specific makes or models of camera), but also by mounting type.
Video remote control REMOTE CONTROL PRO FOR SONY/CANON 523PRO The 523PRO remote control works with both Sony and Canon LANC-enabled video cameras. The remote control features a record/stop button, a power on/standby button, three different zoom speed control buttons (slow, medium and fast) and a push auto focus button. The zoom wheel can be used to control one of the three preset, maximum zoom speeds or a customizable maximum speed which you can set to exactly the level you want.
Video remote control REMOTE CONTROL FOR PANASONIC 522P The 522P is a dual circuit, progressive zoom remote control unit for the Panasonic AG-DVC-30, AG-DVC80 and AG-DVX100A. It is built into a video head pan bar that is suitable for Manfrotto models 3433, 3460, 516 and 3274. The dual circuit allows you to choose between a zero power consumption “analog” mode for basic functions (record/stop and progressive min-max zoom via a professional zoom wheel) and a 3 AA (1.

Video tripods WHAT IS TORSIONAL RIGIDITY? Maximum torsional rigidity is the first feature all videographers want from their video tripod. A professional video tripod has to provide a rock solid base that is not sensitive to the mechanical stress induced by the tilt and pan movement. Weight and the maximum/minimum working height are other important factors which need to be taken in serious consideration when choosing your video tripod.
Technical Features MDEVE TRIPODS The much-heralded arrival of the digital era has brought with it a drastic reduction in weight and size of video camera equipment, matched by enormous advances in the picture quality achievable with the most minuscule of systems. Those working in the video sector are demanding camera supports that are tailored to these small new cameras but that make no compromises in key areas such as rigidity which could jeopardize the fluidity and smoothness of camera movements.

BUCKET BACKPACK 540BB Faster to use than a traditional back pack and more convenient than having to carry your tripod in your hand or under your arm. The bucket back pack is especially useful on longer journeys or on wilder terrain, where you still need to know that you can release the tripod, set up and shoot in seconds.
Carrying systems HAND A LONG 540HL The hand-a-long is a padded bar that encloses a short hand-carry strap which attaches to the built-in rings at either end of the first leg section of the 542ART/532ART pro video tripods. Because it’s compact and attaches to one leg section only, you don’t need to take it off the tripod while shooting so it’s fast and convenient in the field. And it won’t get in the way of tripod positioning or filming.
Tripod Bags A tripod is a wonderful thing. Carrying one has never been. That is until now. With our new carrying systems, we’ve worked from the inside out to invent new contoured bag shapes that fit your kit and offer convenient ways of setting up and breaking down faster. Our bags offer you a “space pad” that lets your shoulder carry your tripod without risking bangs and bruises and an open backpack that keeps your hands free and your tripod protected with weight kept to a minimum.
Tripod bags PADDED TRIPOD BAG 47.2in MBAG120P The largest bag in the range, the MBAG120P is padded to protect your equipment and has the following features: • Asymmetric tapered shape allows you to store the tripod with the head attached. Tripod legs fit comfortably in the narrower end (diameter 7.8in) and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end (diameter 9in). • Zip extends down the length of the bag, but also fully opens the top end of the bag.
Tripod straps 3044 3044NAR LONG STRAP 3044 The 3044 strap is a basic but convenient way to carry your kit. It has a spring clip that fastens quickly to the steel ring at the shoulder of the tripod, and a closed loop that goes around the feet of the tripod and tightens to grip them securely. Features an adapter for compatibility with all Manfrotto tripods and rubberized fabric for comfort and to keep the tripod from slipping off your shoulder.
