Manfrotto 503HDV,351MVCFK Video Tripod System

Being very much aware of changing trends in the video world, Manfrotto revised the proven 503 fluid head taking into account the increasing performance demands of High Definition Mini-DV camcorders. The result is the 503HDV Pro. The greater resolution of High Definition video means that details as well as errors in movement are more apparent, and thereby demands a more refined means of support. The continuously-variable fluid drag system of the 503HDV provides just the right amount of dampening for any shots from whip pans to slow motion. Just dial in drag to define the setting. This capability in conjunction with the three-step counterbalance delivers the type of finger-tip camera control normally reserved for much more costly production fluid heads.

Strength and weight are the two main features of the two-stage carbon fiber 351MVCF tripod. It has the paradoxical combination of being refreshingly lightweight, yet astonishingly rigid, particularly when executing hard pans. Lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel, carbon fiber composites have the additional benefit of absorbing vibration much the way wood does, but with a fraction of the weight.

To efficiently convey and protect the entire system, this kit includes the MBAG90PN 35" (89 cm) tripod bag, as well as the unbeatable Manfrotto two-year warranty with an additional three-years after registering online or by mail.
