PROFESSIONAL VIDEO SUPPORTS 2006/07
Designing supports for video cameras means finding a graceful balance between stillness and movement freedom and control. Our range of video tripods, heads, monopods, arms, remote controls and accessories is growing steadily and is sure to provide you with exactly that balance.
FREEDOM WHEN YOU WANT IT; CONTROL WHEN YOU NEED IT.
VIDEO HEADS Our two-way “pan & tilt” heads for video cover a range of camera equipment from Micro DV through Mini DV up to professional ENG DV-Cams and HDV. All heads are built to be used “open” with movements unlocked, with a range of friction and counterbalance systems to help regulate the weight shift of mounted equipment during pan and tilt movements.
WHY FLUID HEAD? Manfrotto’s “pan & tilt movement” technology used for its complete range of semi-professional and professional video head is based on a system of cartridges filled with a specific “silicone fluid”. This technology provide the smooth and constant movement behaviour, needed to achieve “shake free” images while panning and tilting during all type of video shooting sessions.

HEADS PRO FLUID VIDEO HEAD 519 15cm 2.9kg 10kg 501PLV Ideal for PRO ENG camcorder It’s a fact, not all cameras weigh the same. Some mini DV cameras may weigh only a 1kg while professional grade DV cameras can weigh up to of 10kg. Professionals have as many equipment options as they do shooting styles, utilizing a wide range of different cameras including MINI DV, DVCAM, HD, ENG. When using numerous accessories, many of these setups can quickly overload video heads above the maximum recommended weight.

HEADS ACCESSORIES COMPATIBLE PLATES Range of additional plates for either fixed or sliding quick release assembly. VIDEO CAMERA PLATE 357PLONG VIDEO CAMERA PLATE 501PLONG This long version of the standard plate allows perfect balance for camcorders with unusual weight distribution caused by long tele lenses or heavy batteries. The plate has a laser engraved scale to help identify and record optimal position.
VIDEO TRIPODS Traditionally, video tripods have double leg tubes which though thin, give the tripod more structural resistance to twisting and torsion. This is vital when using heavy video cameras with pan and tilt heads. Without this extra reinforcement every pan movement risks bringing unwanted juddering and shake into your shoot. We offer a range of double-tube tripods in strong aluminum alloy and in extra-rigid, lightweight carbon fiber for video equipment up to ENG requirements.
WHAT IS THE TORSION RIGIDITY Maximum torsion rigidity is the first feature all Videographers want from their video tripod. A professional video tripod has to provide a rock solid base insensible to the mechanical stress induced by the tilt and pan movement that makes the tripod not stable enough for a smooth in motion shooting session. Last but not least the weight, the max and minimum working height are important factor too, which needs to be taken in serious consideration while choosing your video tripod.
ART PRO VIDEO TRIPODS Convenient padded handle for rapid tripod opening: For the A.R.T. (Advanced Release Technology - world wide pat pending) tripod series, Manfrotto’s target has been to break the 4 second limit - from securely closed to fully open in under 4 seconds without a single lever, button or knob. A challenge we’re extremely proud to say we matched and surpassed, creating the world’s fastest video tripod.

Customize the Fig Rig to your liking. Manfrotto provides the canvas to allow you to create your masterpiece.
FIG RIG SYSTEM If, like world-class film director Mike Figgis, you’re daydreaming of a DV camera support that offers the shake-free stability of a tripod with the framing flexibility of hand-held, at a price that has steady-cams quivering in fear... look no further than the Fig Rig. “I needed to design a piece of equipment that could be used with the new generation of DV cameras. Something that could support the camera and eradicate the instability that is synonymous with small camera use.
FIG RIG SYSTEM FIG RIG 595B After years of using the Fig Rig on his award-winning films, Mike Figgis brought his idea to Manfrotto. An idea that is non-traditional in design, but purely simple and effective. The only modular system in the world to smoothly support the DV camera and act as a frame to mount all the accessories – including zoom controllers, mics, mixers, lights, monitors, arms...

TRIPODS BAGS AND CARRYING SYSTEM A tripod is a wonderful thing. Carrying one never has been...until now. At Manfrotto, we know more than most about how the subject, so it was in our own interests as much as it was in yours to develop a complete range of carrying and transportation solutions designed around the one piece of photo or video kit that most bag manufacturers conveniently choose to ignore... our own beloved tripod.
TRIPOD BAGS PADDED TRIPOD BAG 120CM 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 20cm) and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end (diameter 23cm). • Zip extends down the length of the bag, but also fully opens the top end of the bag.
CARRYING SYSTEM BUCKET BACKPACK 540BB Faster to use than a traditional back pack; 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 SYSTEM SPACE PAD 540SP Suitable for use with tripod models 542ART/532ART, the 540SP wraps quickly around the closed tripod legs, snaps securely in place and can be positioned to match the center of balance of any tripod/head combination.
STRAPS LONG STRAP 102 The 102 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 rubberised fabric for comfort and to avoid the tripod slipping on your shoulder.
