> manfrotto 055mf3

The 055XB is one of the most versatile and popular tripods in the Manfrotto range. The tripod is lightweight and portable enough to take in the field, yet strong enough for a medium format camera, small view cameras, spotting scope and the latest generation of digital video cameras.

Taking into account the increasing performance demands of High Definition Mini-DV camcorders, Bogen/Manfrotto has revised the older proven 503 fluid head to meet the changing trends in the video world. The 503HDV has been reengineered with entirely left-handed controls that enhance operational efficiency as camera controls are generally left-handed. Each setting can be inspected and verified at a glance, allowing for rapid setups from one shot to the next. A more refined means of support is now demanded as High Definition video's details as well as errors in movement are now more apparent. The 503HDV Pro. meets that challenge with a continuously- variable fluid drag system that provides just the right amount of dampening for any shot on your needed list, from whip pans to slow motion, just dial in drag to touch. Along with the 4-step counterbalancethe 503HDV delivers the type of finger-tip camera control that you would normally find on a much more expensive production fluid head. independent filmmakers and ENG crews will appreciate the thoughtful, full-featured design of the 503HDV fluid head that expands their shooting gamut without unnecessarily shrinking their budgets. It includes a two-year Bogen-Manfrotto warranty and comprehensive online documentation, as well as other welcome improvements such as the backlight for the level bubble, a replaceable lock-rosette, and a refined profile of the unit as well. The MDeVe Magfiber Video Tripod Three Section (Cat. No: 755MF3) is the same design as the 756MF3 but with a larger leg diameter, top spider and leg locks, enabling the 755 MF3 to handle a higher load capacity. An extremely versatile tripod, th e 755MF3 has a removable center column with a built-in 50mm levelling ball and bubble spirit level that can easily be fitted as a lateral arm. Not only does this allow the camera to be offset from the leg position, it is also the simplest way to shoot a subject from directly overhead. The 755MF3's unique center column allows the leveling ball to be locked by a detachable rotating grip built into the bottom of the center column. This allows the camera operator to level the camera and even adjust its height without needing to make micro adjustments to each individual tripod leg.

Silky smooth pan and tilt head. Carbon fiber legs make a very rigid and light tripod. Built in quick release. Separate pan and tilt locks. Padded Manfrotto tripod bag included.
