Hybrid stills and video shooters can benefit greatly by the addition of the 755CX3 MagFiber Tripod & MH055M8-Q5 Photo-Movie Head with Q5 QR Plate from Manfrotto to their kit. Starring a dual-purpose head with a 15.4 lb capacity paired with a two-stage tripod with flip locks, shooters will be able to get going quickly and effectively. The head uses a 501PL sliding quick release plate, an adjustable counterbalance control, and friction control for pan and tilt. Also, it has a photo mode that offers a ball head type all-direction movement. The legs have a leveling column with 50mm half ball, can be independently adjusted, and offer a height range of 23.6 to 69.9".
The Manfrotto 755CX3 MagFibre 2-Stage Tripod is intended for high-definition camcorders weighing up to 26.5 lb. It features carbon fiber composite leg tubes and fast-action stage clamps. There is also a built-in 50mm half-ball leveling system that can be locked via a detachable rotating grip. This facilitates camera platform leveling without adjusting leg length. The rapid center column adds 10" to the maximum height of the cameras platform.
The system is covered by a two-year warranty with an additional three years by registering online or by mail.
The Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5 Photo-Movie Tripod Head offers optimal function for still photo shooting as well as videography. Primarily designed for DSLR cameras with movie shooting ability, the tripod head features a Photo-Video selector for quickly switching between the two modes.
In Photo mode, the MH055M8-Q5 head offers free movement in all directions just like a typical ball head. Equipped with fluid cartridges and an adjustable counterbalance control, the tripod head provides precise, smooth, and controlled movement.
In Video mode, the head restricts all-direction movement to precise pan-and-tilt operation, which works well with videography. The MH055M8-Q5 head comes with a pan bar and offers fluid movement as well as friction control. The pan bar is reversible for right- or left-handed users and can be quickly detached. An included rest clip allows the pan bar to be attached to a tripod leg after being removed. A Q5 quick release plate is included.
