The Bogen/Manfrotto 3021PRO three-section aluminum alloy tripod with 501HDV fluid head is intended for ultralight high-definition camcorders weighing up to 9.7 lbs (4.4 kg). It features a quick-release camera plate, extra smooth fluid-dampened pan and tilt movements with separate locks, and a fixed length pan arm. What sets it apart from other tripods is the center column's ability to instantly become a lateral arm, enabling unobstructed straight-down shooting.
One camera plate is included, and the system is covered by a solid two-year warranty with an additional three years by registering online or by mail.
