Manfrotto 645 Fast Overview

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.

Manfrotto 645 Fast Reviews

Broke within a year

By CT-AV
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2024-08-08

Loved these for their easy, quick setup and adjustments, but all three of the ones we had in our inventory came to pieces within a year of ownership. The legs popped right out of the mounting point for the head at the top, nearly causing tens of thousands in damage. Avoid.

Will the Sachtler Ace XL Fluid Head (75mm Bowl) work with these legs?
Asked by: bryan
As the Manfrotto 645 FAST Twin Leg Video Tripod with Ultra L-Lock Mechanism (Aluminum) includes a 100mm to 75mm adapter and the Sachtler Ace XL Fluid Head features a 75mm bowl, it should be compatible. The Sachtler 75/2 Mark II Carbon Fiber Tripod (75mm), BH #SAS21710001, would be recommended for your Ace XL head for best compatibility.

does it come with spreader ?
Asked by: Mickey
A spreader is not included with the Manfrotto 645 FAST Twin Leg Video Tripod with Ultra L-Lock Mechanism (Aluminum). However you can purchase them as an accessory. The Manfrotto 165MV Ground Spreader for Spiked Tripod (BH #MA165MV) would be the ground spreader for the 645 FAST tripod, and the Manfrotto 2-in-1 Mid-Level/Ground Spreader (BH #MAMVASPR2N1) can be used as the mid level spreader.

Is this compatible with Sachtler aktiv8T Touch & Go Fluid Head?

No the Sachtler aktiv8T Touch & Go Fluid Head with SpeedLevel & 7-Step Drag for Sachtler Tripods (75mm) is not compatible with the Manfrotto 645 FAST Twin Leg Video Tripod with Ultra L-Lock Mechanism (Carbon Fiber). According to Sachtler the aktiv6 and aktiv8 fluid heads are compatible with Sachtler 75mm tripods (flowtech 75 aktiv, Tripod 75/2 AL, SpeedLock 75, ENG 75/2 D, DA 75L).

Can you recommend a slim tie down for a Cartoni 100mm ball head that works with this tripod? The tie down that comes with the head is to big and you can not fold the legs with it.
Asked by: Miles
The Manfrotto 645 FAST Twin Leg Video Tripod with Ultra L-Lock Mechanism (Carbon Fiber) (B&H# MAMVTTWINFCU) can accept a 100mm half ball for mounting a tripod head, including those from Cartoni. While we do not know which Cartoni half ball or tripod head you're using, this is the only low profile tie down knob we offer, and unfortunately it is only for Mitchell heads: https://bhpho.to/3OK3yDH We're showing you that so that you get an idea of what it looks like, and because it's not impossible that you also have access to compatible a Mitchell head. Having said that, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer of your chosen half ball about a lower profile option for your particular equipment since the Mitchell option (above) is the only one we carry.
