The 532ART aluminium pro video tripod is the sister model of the 542ART carbon fiber tripod. The use of aluminium leg tubing allows us to offer this version more economically than the 542ART, but like the 542ART, this version also has our patented leg release and locking system (known as ART - Advanced Release Technology) which lets you open or close the tripod in under four seconds - without needing to use locking levers, knobs or buttons. The extreme speed of the 542ART makes it ideal for news crews filming under pressure. The 532ART follows in the tradition of the Manfrotto 540ART, and has all of the features and practical innovations that made the 540ART tripod so popular and so well-regarded among video professionals. The 532ART offers the added benefit of a unique "squid" spreader that delivers even more flexibility for shooting in tight spaces. Double stainless steel spiked feet provide unmatched traction on uneven terrain or at odd angles. For shoots on smooth floors or surfaces, pull on/off rubber feet are included and can be quickly and easily installed. The 532ART comes with a 75mm-100mm bowl adapter for compatibility with all industry-standard half-ball video heads.
