The Manfrotto 526-1 Fluid Head with 645 FAST Twin Carbon Fiber Tripod System with 2-in-1 Spreader & Bag combines the 526-1 fluid head with the two-stage carbon fiber FAST Twin tripod legs and a 2-in-1 mid-level/ground spreader, creating an effective combination of stability and smooth, precise control. The legs feature a 100mm half bowl with a removable 75mm adapter. The head supports up to 35 pounds, and it features 3 steps of pan and tilt drag with a zero setting for free movement, independent locks, as well as a continuous counterbalance range of 17.64 to 33.07 pounds.
The carbon fiber legs are durable and strong and feature the Ultra L-Lock that enables you to lock and unlock the legs using only one locking lever located at the top of each leg, so you don't have to bend down to unlock the legs. The legs feature three locking positions for spreader-less operation, or you can use the included spreader as a mid-level or ground spreader when you set the legs to free movement. Included with this system is a padded carrying bag for storage and transport.
The 526-1 Professional Fluid Video Head from Manfrotto supports camera rigs up to 35 lb and includes the 357PLV-1 sliding plate with secure, two-screw 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 mounting.

This head features fluid drag with three levels each of pan and tilt as well as a zero-drag setting for whip-pans and fast tilts. Counterbalance is continuously variable for weights ranging from 17.5 to 33 lb. The 526-1 mounts via its 100mm ball and can be leveled using the bright bubble.
The Manfrotto 645 FAST Twin Leg Video Tripod with Ultra L-Lock Mechanism is a two-stage carbon fiber tripod with a 100mm bowl and a single leg lock mechanism for each leg.

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".

This 2-in-1 Mid-Level/Ground Spreader from Manfrotto can be used as either a mid-level spreader or a ground spreader with select Manfrotto tripod legs.
