Manfrotto has once again made content creation on-the-go even easier and quicker with its newest line, presented at the 2019 International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam. The Manfrotto Fast Single Leg and Twin Leg tripods, as well as Nitrotech Fluid Head Kits allow creatives to set up their camera units with a single lock.

The fast tripod series features synchronized closure mechanisms between the upper and lower locks of the legs, and the entire unit can be controlled with just a single, solitary lock, ensuring that the whole tripod is ready to go in moments. 

Manfrotto has equipped the Fast single leg tripod with a 2-in-1 spreader attachment that be locked into the middle or ground position, and topped it with a 75mm ball that is compatible with a 60mm attachment.

The Manfrotto Fast Twin Leg tripod meanwhile, uses the ultra L-lock to raise every riser at once (as seen above), instantaneously extending the entire structure for use. The three-angle selector allows you to set up the tripod at the angle you need, and spoked feet will keep it in place. As with the single leg tripod, the twin leg tripod can be available with a middle or ground spreader attachment. It also includes a 100mm half ball, which is compatible with a 75mm adapter.

Along with the tripods, Manfrotto has paired the Nitrotech 608 and 612 Fluid Video Heads, which can hold up to 8 and 12 kilograms, respectively. The video heads employ a counterbalance system that means users only have to use a minimal amount of effort to adjust the camera. 

Built with a nitrogen piston mechanism, it keeps continuous counterbalance, keeping your movements smooth and fluid, and your camera secure. 

The series is available in both aluminum and carbon fiber versions, and you can shop the entire series here
