Manfrotto 645 FAST Twin Leg Video Tripod with Ultra L-Lock Mechanism (Aluminum)

The Manfrotto 645 FAST Twin Leg Video Tripod with Ultra L-Lock Mechanism is a two-stage aluminum tripod with a 100mm bowl and a single leg lock mechanism for each leg. A 100 to 75mm bowl adapter is included, so you get the flexibility to use 100 or 75mm video heads. The tripod features twin spiked feet with removable rubber overshoes, allowing for use on various terrain as well as on flat, smooth surfaces. It supports up to 55 pounds and has a maximum working height of 61.8", a minimum height of 10.6", and a folded length of 28.7".

The tripod legs are selectable between free movement or having three locking leg positions so you can use the legs without a spreader. The optional Manfrotto MVASPR2N1 2-in-1 spreader can be attached if desired.

Leg Locks
The legs feature Manfrotto's Ultra-L Lock for the Twin FAST tripod legs. This allows you to lock and unlock both leg stages using only one locking lever located at the top of each leg, so you don't have to bend down to unlock the legs.
Spreader or Spreaderless
The legs incorporate a locking mechanism that enables the legs to move completely freely, suitable when working with a spreader, or to lock at one of three angles, 70, 50, and 20°, which is suitable for use when working without a spreader.
Rubber Feet
You can use the included rubber feet to protect delicate surfaces from the tripod's foot spikes.
100 to 75mm Bowl Adapter
The legs feature a 100mm bowl and include a 100 to 75mm bowl adapter. This provides the flexibility to use a video head with either a 100 or 75mm leveling ball.

Battery for illuminating level bubble? I can't seem to find out what battery my tripod head requires to illuminate the leveling bubble. Any ideas?
Asked by: Thomas
Batteries included. I just bought this (06-17-23) and they shipped it with the two batteries needed for the level bulb light, and the APR system.

question

I shoot HS hockey. In some rinks it may be necessary to remove the ground level spreader. Can this be easily done? Thank you!
Asked by: Joel
Yes, it will be easy to remove the ground level spreader. We also have this same tripod in a kit with a Mid-Level Spreader if that will be a better choice for shooting Hockey.https://bhpho.to/2DxRwvH

question

Which tripod plate adapter would you use to mount the Blackmagic Ursa to this tripod? Is there a specific kind?
Asked by: Nicholas C.
The Sony VCT-14 tripod adapter is the most popular option for this camera (B&H# SOVCT14). This adapter is sold separately and is not included in the box.
