If you're a professional videographer or photographer seeking a reliable and high-performing support system, the Manfrotto 536 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod paired with the 526-1 Fluid Video Head offers an unparalleled combination of stability, versatility, and precision. This kit is specifically engineered to cater to the demanding needs of high-end ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and EFP (Electronic Field Production) video markets, ensuring that even the heaviest equipment up to 35 lbs is securely supported.

The 526-1 Fluid Video Head is a testament to Manfrotto's commitment to quality, featuring a robust design with a replaceable and removable pan arm rosette. This thoughtful construction means that in the event of damage, only a small part needs to be replaced, saving time and maintaining the fluid head's longevity. The large, rubber-padded knobs provide an enhanced grip, and all essential controls, including tilt and pan lock as well as tilt drag, are conveniently located on the left side for quick and easy access.

Precision is at the heart of the 526-1, with a finely tuned fluid drag system that offers three levels of resistance (low, medium, and high) and a zero setting for rapid pans and tilts without resistance. The counterbalance system is adjustable, accommodating camera weights between 17.5 and 33 lbs, and the built-in 4-inch half-ball allows for swift leveling of the camera, complemented by a bright leveling bubble for optimal accuracy.

The Manfrotto MPRO 536 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a marvel of lightweight design and sturdiness, reaching impressive heights while maintaining stability. Its carbon fiber construction ensures durability without the burden of excess weight, making it ideal for on-the-go professionals. The tripod features a new leg angle selector, allowing for quick and precise adjustments, and a screw-in 75/100mm adaptor to accommodate various industry-standard half-ball heads.

With four extendable sections, the 536 tripod can achieve a maximum height of 75.1 to 100 inches, and a minimum height of 7.1 to 10 inches, making it versatile for a range of shooting scenarios. The quick release plate system streamlines the setup process, ensuring that your equipment is ready to capture the moment without delay.

Together, the Manfrotto 536 Carbon Fiber Tripod and 526-1 Fluid Video Head form a formidable duo that promises to enhance the quality and efficiency of your work, whether in the studio or on location.
