Looking for a ready-to-go heavy-duty video head with carbon fiber legs? Throw in Manfrotto’s 2-in-1 spreader and a tripod bag, and you’ve got Manfrotto’s 509HD Tripod System with Carbon Fiber Twin Fast Legs and 2-in-1 Spreader. The 509HD head is robust and capable of supporting up to 29 pounds, while providing the same smooth movement and fine-tuning adjustments you’ve come to expect from Manfrotto’s fluid heads. Four steps of counterbalance and independent pan-and-tilt drag settings provide precise adjustments for smooth operation. The 509HD features a 100mm half ball for quick leveling.
The included Twin Fast Carbon Fiber Legs are corrosion resistant, and though lightweight, extremely sturdy and built for speed. A single locking lever on each leg allows you to loosen and lock each leg without having to disengage multiple locks, this makes it much faster to set up, especially since you no longer have to bend down to get at the bottom leg lock. When speed and weight are essential, engage one of the three built-in locking angle positions that hold the legs securely without a spreader for the simplest run-and-gun setup. But when you want the security and flexibility in leg spread that only a spreader can provide, the included 2-in-1 Spreader can be used as either a ground spreader for working on smooth and flat surfaces, or as a mid-level spreader, when working on uneven terrain. The included tripod bag can be used to store your tripod when not using it, or when moving from location to location.
