Magnus VT-300 Overview

The Magnus VT-300 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.

A built-in fluid effect video head pans a full 360°, tilts up and down, and features independent pan and tilt locks for fixed-position shots. A pan bar and a snap-in quick release camera plate are included. The quick release plate features a 1/4"-20 camera mounting screw, a registration pin, and an anti-skid mounting surface.

A center column raises or lowers at the turn of a hand crank to let you fine-tune a height without adjusting the tripod legs. 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 maximum height of the tripod with the center column raised is 64.3".

The tripod legs extend at two leg stages at the release of flip-locks. The legs feature replaceable rubber feet that provide grip on hard or slippery surfaces. An internal bubble level will help you position the tripod evenly on uneven ground. A carry case with a shoulder strap is included and will let you conveniently carry the tripod over your shoulder when you're travelling about.

I bought this for my 16 year-old grandson, who I am teaching the art of photography . It’s a really great tripod for the money. It’s very well built and smooth operating. He loves it. I bought him a phone adapter to put on it also. I’m teaching my other three grandchildren , whoare younger, photography also. B and H photo is my go to store for photography equipment, even though I live in Montana Thank you, BH Gary

Really a nice midrange tripod, that supports a heavier camera than I have. I like the sturdiness of the legs as I use it to attach monitor and peripherals but light enough to carry in the field.

Does this tripod work with the Sony aii?
Asked by: BK
I’m sure that it will. I have a GH-4 and it works well with that camera. The plate does not allow you to move the camera forward or back to balance the camera but even so, I like the tripod. It’s inexpensive and light but I like the action on the head in tilting and panning.

question

Magnus VT300 says it will support 15lbs. I have a VT4000 that is much sturdier and it says it supports up to 8.8lbs. What is the difference?
Asked by: Allison
According to the makers of the tripods: The difference is the counterbalance on the VT-4000, vs failure weight on the VT-300.So the VT-4000 will counterbalance a camera load of 8.8 lbs without assistance.The VT-300 has no such spring, but will securely hold 15lbs in position with the locks engaged without any slipping.

Can I use quick release plate on this tripod on Zhiyun Crane Gimbal?
Asked by: Nina
It appears that the style of quick release plate included with this tripod will not work with the Zhiyun Crane Gimbal. However, you can use a Manfrotto 323 style of quick release plate with the Zhiyun Crane, as linked here: https://bhpho.to/3pI0xY8
