Manfrotto Tripod with fluid video head Lightweight with Side Lock

The lightweight fluid video system MVK500AM includes the fluid video head MVH500A and the twin leg video tripod MVT502AM (aluminum, middle spreader).The MVH500A is a lightweight head with a wider platform for HDSLR bodies and the sliding plate travels to balance the interchangeable lens cameras. The entry-level 500 ensures smooth shots and fine control with up to 5 kg (11 pounds) of equipment.Faster, easier and safer to use: the side lock system allows the camera and sliding QR plate to click quickly into the head from above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. No secondary safety lock is necessary. The side lock system also makes it quicker and simpler to lift the camera out of the head from above.The MVT502AM video tripod is a traditional 2-stage, aluminum twin-tube video tripod that has professional features yet is designed to be intuitive, user-friendly and suited to lightweight applications. The MVT502AM has telescopic aluminum legs for compactness and reduced weight; its ellipse-profile tubing with redesigned leg locking collars give it excellent levels of rigidity and stability.The first-stage spreader has improved ergonomics and ease of use, while the tripod's rubber feet improve grip on all floor and ground surfaces. A rubber strap ensures easier, safer transport.
