526 Head

Packed with features and capable of supporting over 35 lbs., the 526 Pro Fluid Video Head, perfect for heavy-duty, high end ENG and EFP applications.

The 526 uses Manfrotto’s most precise fluid drag system, composed of three step settings for low to high drag, plus a no-drag setting for snap-pans and tilts.

Large rubber, padded knobs and attention to the overall design – with all controls on the left side of the head – make this workhorse head a breeze to use.

Designed to support professional video cameras, the 526 Pro Fluid Video Head contains an adjustable spring for providing counterbalance for a wide-range of camera weights, and a built-in 100mm half-ball for adaptability.  The 526 also features a removable pan arm rosette, allowing for easy replacement.

The 526 comes with one pan arm and the long 357PLV plate.

528XB Tripod

With a maximum load capacity of 66 lbs, the new Manfrotto 528XB heavy-duty video/movie tripod is built to handle the really heavy loads, and ideal for supporting camera jib arms.

Despite its obvious strength, however, a close inspection reveals that this new tripod offers quite a bit of brains and good looks to go along with its brawn.

The 528XB incorporate a fully-adjustable mid-level spreader, which features telescopic ratchet braces that click into place in each of the preset positions for faster deployment. The braces can be immediately set, allowing each leg to be individually positioned for maximum stability. The tripods’ wing nut style locking system further ensures its stability once setup is complete.

The 528XB was designed to accommodate heavy loads in virtually any environment. This is evident in the reversible leg ends, which have rubber feet for use on smooth floors, as well as stainless steel spikes for use on uneven terrain. The 100mm bowl accepts industry-standard half-ball video heads and allows the user to level the head quickly and easily for smooth, accurate panoramic work.

In addition, the built-in 100mm claw ball levels the camera quickly under any conditions, and allows for use of the tripod even with heads not equipped with a half-ball.

The 528XB features black stainless steel tubes and aluminum leg extensions. It utilizes a sturdy single-tube leg structure with an adjustable leg spread. The leg spread also incorporates a 30º locked position for faster set-up and greater strength.

MBAG120P Bag

The MBAG120P is the largest bag in the range and replaces the 3282 Tripod Bag. With innovative technical features, top quality materials, and first class construction methods, the quality of the MBAG120P is up to the highest standards you expect from Manfrotto.

MBAG120P Features

• Asymmetric tapered shape allows you to store the tripod with the head attached. Tripod legs fit comfortably in the narrower end (diameter 20cm - 7.87") and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end (diameter 23cm - 9"). This also means it’s easier to put the tripod and head in the bag, even if the head levers and knobs are fitted and jut out slightly.
• Zip extends down the length of the bag, but also fully opens the top end of the bag, making it easier to get your tripod in and out, as well as being able to extract the tripod quickly.
• Thermoform padding holds the tripod in place and protects it, especially the head, during transport. Serves a double purpose by protecting you from the tripod’s hard edges when carrying it by your side.
• Inner pocket holds accessories (such as video head pan bars) where they won’t rattle around or get damaged.
• Innovative design and style; ballistic nylon, zips and other materials used are of top quality and designed in collaboration with Kata Carrying Systems.
• Can be hand-carried horizontally by the side handle, vertically by the end handle (also useful for storage), or shoulder-carried using the included strap.
