The Manfrotto 501HDV351MVCFK is a kit which includes the 501HDV
fluid head, 351MVCF 2-stage tripod, and the MBAG90P tripod bag.
Designed to accommodate evolving video technology, the 501HDV features
improved drag in both axes and switchable counterbalance for the latest
ultralight High-Definition camcorders. In addition, controls have been
repositioned and reshaped for superior operational ergonomics. A sliding camera
plate helps balance uneven payloads due to outboard batteries or matte boxes,
dual rosettes permit left- or two-handed pan arm configurations, and the
rear-mounted spirit level facilitates rapid setups.
Strength and weight are the two main features of the 2-stage carbon fiber
351MVCF tripod. It has the paradoxical combination of being refreshingly
lightweight, yet astonishingly rigid, particularly when executing hard pans.
Lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel, carbon fiber composites have the
additional benefit of absorbing vibration much the way wood does, but
with a fraction of the weight.
To efficiently convey and protect the entire system, the 501HDV351MVCFK kit
includes the MBAG90P 35" (89 cm) tripod bag, as well as the unbeatable
Manfrotto 2-year warranty with an additional 3-years after registering
online or by mail.
