It's a fact, not all cameras weigh the same. Some
mini DV cameras may weigh only a 1 kg while professional grade DV cameras can
weigh up to of 10 kg. Professionals have as many equipment options as they do
shooting styles, utilizing a wide range of different cameras including MINI DV,
DVCAM, HD, ENG. When using numerous accessories, many of these setups can
quickly overload video heads above the maximum recommended weight. Understanding
the problem that professional Videographers face, Manfrotto has developed the
519, a compact, yet heavy duty fluid video head capable of accommodating a
counterbalance payload from 1,5 kg up to 9 kg. This is a revolutionary
breakthrough from Manfrotto, as the 519 is the only video head on the market
encompassing both interchangeable and adjustable counter-balance springs.
Combining both features will allow Videographers to easily interchange a vast
array of cameras of various weights as well as quickly fine tune the perfect
balance point of whatever camera being used, all with just one head! In
addition, fluid drag is easily controlled with a large click-stop numbered knob
in seven increments. Drag can be adjusted from the highest possible setting to
nearly zero drag, allowing for the finest control through 360º pan and +90º to
-90º tilt

Use of carbon fiber tubing makes this two-stage
video tripod one of the lightest in its class. The 542 uses our patented A.R.T.
(Advanced Release Technology) mechanism for the fastest opening, positioning and
closing of any video tripod in the world, ideal for filming under pressure.
Comes with 100mm-75mm bowl adapter for compatibility with all industry-standard
half-ball video heads. Included mid level "squid" spreader offers improved
antitorsion resistance and keeps legs locked safely in position even when space
is cramped and tripod footprint is necessarily smaller. Double stainless steel
spiked feet also come with quick-on/off rubber shoes for better grip on smooth
floors. No protruding parts, levers or knobs to catch or damage. When closed,
tripod legs interlock without additional clips, straps or hooks to ensure
compactness and prevent damage. Leg lock mechanism can be adjusted for increased
or reduced tightness.
