The Manfrotto MVK500C is a lightweight fluid video system that includes the fluid video head (60mm half ball) MVH500A and the Single Carbon Fiber Leg Tripod 535. The ballhead has a wider platform for HDSLR bodies and the sliding plate travels to balance the latest interchangeable lens cameras. The 500 ensures smooth shots and fine control with up to 5kg (11 lbs) of equipment. The 60mm half ball video tripod mount has professional fluid cartridges on both pan and tilt axes to ensure that camera movement is smooth. The 500 has a pre-set counterbalance of 2.4kg (5.3 lbs), but is able to support equipment of up to 5kg (11 lbs). The 500 has one 3/8” connector for an external monitor or other accessory equipment to be fitted.
Design
The 535 is a 3-section hybrid-design video tripod with single-tube legs and a 60mm half bowl head fitting. Carbon fiber tubes make the tripod light, stable and rigid. Magnesium castings further reduce the weight. The 535 tripod has a high load capacity, good maximum height and a compact folded size. The 535’s leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently set quickly and easily (3 steps: 23°-50°-70°). Key feature of this tripod is the flexibility in terms of operating height (from 27cm/10.6in up to 171cm/67.3in) that makes this support unique in the market. Supplied with padded carrying bag.
