The Magnus VT-350 Tripod Kit with Pan Handle Video Remote has been assembled by B&H to provide you with a stable anodized aluminum video tripod that can support loads up to 15 lb and has a height range of 25.5 to 82", as well as a remote control for select Sony cameras or camcorders. Pan and tilt to follow your on-camera talent or create visually stunning smooth, cinematic shots to immerse your audience in your film. The remote control allows you to start/stop the camera and control the zoom for smooth servo-controlled moves. The remote can be used while mounted on the tripod pan handle or held freely and not attached to the tripod.
The Magnus VT-350 Video Tripod with Fluid Head is a lightweight and portable tripod system for shooting stable videos with DSLRs, small camcorders, and any other cameras up to 15 lb. It is suitable for use for event and wedding coverage.
A built-in fluid effect video head features fixed fluid drag, which provides smooth pans and tilts with 360° pan rotation and approximately 175° of tilt. Independent pan and tilt locks tighten and increase resistance until locking the axis for fixed position/lock-off shots. The quick release plate features a 1/4"-20 camera mounting screw, a spring-loaded locating pin, and a retro-looking anti-skid mounting surface.
The unit features a center column that you raise and lower using a crank arm. The center column extends up to one foot, providing a maximum height of 82" with the column extended. A mid-level spreader keeps the legs steady when you adjust the tripod, and it locks to keep the legs secure once you've set the tripod in position. Both the center column and spreader are integrated.
The four-section tripod legs are linked by the mid-level spreader, which slides up the center column when you collapse or expand the legs. The legs are individually extendable using flip-locks for quick and easy adjustment to each leg's three stages. The legs feature rounded foot spikes with replaceable rubber feet, which provide grip on hard or slippery surfaces. You can remove the rubber spike covers and use the rounded foot spikes on soft surfaces, such as earth or the beach. An integrated bubble level allows you to level the tripod. A carry case with a shoulder strap is included and will let you conveniently carry the tripod over your shoulder when you're traveling about.

More than just a pan handle-mounted zoom control, the Magnus Pan Handle Video Remote for Select Sony Cameras and Camcorders provides access to camera functions such as photo and video start/stop, grid lines, zoom control, shutter lock, and your camera's sleep mode. Mounting the remote to your tripod's pan handle allows you to access these features while panning or tilting the camera/camcorder on your tripod.
The included pan handle allows you to attach the remote to select Magnus tripods, for easier operation of your camera's advanced focus without having to use a second hand to manipulate the camera while operating from a tripod, which can result in shaky or blown shots. The included 31.5" long cable that connects the remote to your camera enables you to operate the remote off of a pan handle if desired and the included lanyard allows you to hang the remote from a stand or other support.
- The remote is compatible with most Sony cameras that have a multiterminal port, such as the SOHDRCX405, as well as Select Sony cameras and lenses with electronic zoom capabilities like the ZV-1.
- The handle is compatible with the Magnus VT-100, VT-200, VT-300, and VT-350.
