Manfrotto 526-1 Professional Fluid Video Head with 528XB Heavy Duty Tripod and Carrying Bag

Video kit with 526-1 Head, 528XB Tripod and Bag.

The 526-1 Professional Fluid Video Head directly addresses the heavy-duty, high-end ENG and EFP video market by offering a feature-packed fluid video head that borrows all the combined benefits of our 500 series heads with the ability to support top weight loads over 35lbs.

The 526-1 features a replaceable and removable pan arm rosette so if any damage occurs to the side castings, only a small part needs to be replaced; large rubber padded knobs for better grip and all the controls (tilt and pan lock, tilt drag) are located on the left side so they can be easily found.

The 526-1 offers our most precise fluid drag system comprised of three step settings for low, medium and high drag levels (numbered 1, 2 and 3), plus the additional no-drag setting (number 0) for such occasions as snap-pans/tilts. Counterbalance is achieved through an adjustable spring for camera weights between 17.5 and 33 lbs.

The built-in 4-inch half-ball adapts to a number of our tripods with a 4-inch receiver, allowing the quick leveling of the camera with the aid of the bright leveling bubble. The 526-1 comes with one pan arm and the long 357PLV-1 plate.

The 528XB is the ideal location tripod, with a massive 110 lbs (50kg) load capacity. It is a sturdy single-stage tripod with a single-tube leg structure. Tubes are made of stainless steel for strength under heavy loads, and aluminum for weight saving. The leg spread is fully adjustable, but also incorporates a 30 Degree locked position for faster set up and greater strength.

A 100mm bowl accepts industry-standard half-ball video heads and allows you to level the head quickly for accurate panoramic shots. The included claw ball allows you to use it with heads not equipped with a half ball. The 528XB includes a versatile mid-level spreader, which has telescopic "ratchet" braces that click into place in each of the preset positions for faster deployment. Each brace can be individually set.
