Tripod, Manfrotto 546B with 501HD Floating Head

This tripod and head combination from Manfrotto is ideal for professional videography and includes 546B tripod legs with a 501HDV head.

The 546B is a two-stage, extremely rigid, stable tripod. Able to carry loads up to 20kg (44.lb). The 546B has a die cast aluminum crown with a built in 75mm bowl. The tripod's telescopic mid-level spreader helps set leg angles accurately. Leg locks are secure and reliable, and spiked feet with rubber overshoes are provided for solid grounding on both uneven terrain and smooth floors. The tripod can be used with various dollies. Supplied with padded carrying bag. 

Inside the 501HDV is a powerful new feature that takes its inspiration from our top professional video head models - a fixed counterbalance spring (set for a typical weight of camera + accessories of 2.5kg) that helps ensure both smoother tilt movements and greater equipment safety even when tilt locks are inadvertently left off. The easy-to-reach on/off switch allows the counterbalance system to be disengaged or re-engaged for different filming setups. But from the outside, the first thing that you’ll notice about the new 501HDV video head is its updated design - completely retuned for much improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow a more solid grip and better fingertip control. The 501HDV inherits its separate pan and tilt locks, gradual tilt friction adjustment system, flat base (with standard 3/8-Inch thread), quick release camera plate and repositionable pan bar from its successful predecessor.
