Bogen Communication 501HDV028B Tripod

Manfrotto 501HDV,028B Video Kit Includes 501HDV Pro Video Head and 028B Triman Tripod (Black)

This kit offers some of the best that Manfrotto has to offer in a head leg combo. Strong, sturdy and reliable, the Triman tripod is the ideal studio tripod. The geared centre column has a non roll-back feature and has a threaded 3/8-Inch mount on the bottom of the column to allow low angle shots. Twin shank leg design, built-in spirit level and rubber feet with retractable spikes are standard features. The tripod uses a centre column strut design for added stability. Includes a mid level spreader and carrying strap. Ideal for cameras up to medium format. Inside the 501HDV is a powerful new feature that takes its inspiration from our top professional video head models – a fixed counterbalance spring (set for a typical weight of camera + accessories of 2.5kg) that helps ensure both smoother tilt movements and greater equipment safety even when tilt locks are inadvertently left off. The easy-to-reach on/off switch allows the counterbalance system to be disengaged or re-engaged for different filming setups. But from the outside, the first thing that you’ll notice about the new 501HDV video head is its updated design – completely retuned for much improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow a more solid grip and better fingertip control. The 501HDV inherits its separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system, flat base (with standard 3/8-Inch thread), quick release camera plate and repositionable pan bar from its successful predecessor.
