Great tripod for XL1 or similar

Used with Canon XL1 and works better than I thought it would. I have previously used the Manfrotto 501 head before and thought that was great, but the 503 is even better. Recommended for cameras of this size or larger, Not recommended for smaller cameras.

Great tripod for XL1 or similar

By Wynnefraser

Used with Canon XL1 and works better than I thought it would. I have previously used the Manfrotto 501 head before and thought that was great, but the 503 is even better. Recommended for cameras of this size or larger, Not recommended for smaller cameras.

• A perfect compliment to the new HDV cameras hitting the market, the Manfrotto/Manfrotto 351MVB2 Tripod w/503 (3460) fluid head kit is an aluminum tripod kit with a tandem leg sections, mid-level spreader, and a 75mm half bowl topped with a smooth pro fluid video head that all folds down nicely to a small size with its three leg sections.

The 503 (3460) head is designed to support the latest professional digital video cameras. Particular care has been taken to achieve the best combination between fluid and friction to allow the smoothest possible pans and tilts. The head is also equipped with a built in balance spring to help to support the camera weight.

The 503 head has the best Price/Performance ratio of any fluid head on the market today. Designed for payloads up to an ample 13 lbs. The light but positive fluid movement provides exceptionally smooth control. The new drag adjustment device is continuous, from 0 to maximum level, allowing very fine control of the movements.

The 503 Pro Video Head also features a quick-release sliding plate with VHS pin, a single pan handle and a flat base with 3/8" tripod mount.

The MBAG80P Tripod Bag
80-cm (31.5") unpadded except for the end cap which was designed to protect the tripod head.

Slightly tapered to provide a better fit for tripods with attached heads, and made from the same top quality, durable materials as the MBAG120.

Bogen Manfrotto 351MVB2-Kit - SKU#1673578 Features

  • Quick-release sliding plate with VHS pin, a single pan handle and a flat base with 3/8" tripod mount.
  • Adjustable tilt friction knob. Pan handle can be mounted left or right. Optional second handle is available.
  • Adjustable pan friction control. Separate pan and tilt locks, built-in spirit level
  • The MBAG90P is padded to protect your equipment and has the following features: A
  • Asymmetric tapered shape allows you to store the tripod with the head
  • Tripod legs fit comfortably in the narrower end (diameter 20cm - 7.87") and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end (diameter 23cm - 9").
  • This also means it's easier to put the tripod and head in the bag, even if the head levers and knobs are fitted and jut out slightly.
  • Zip extends down the length of the bag, but also fully opens the top end of the bag.
  • Again this makes it easier to get your tripod in and out of the bag, but it also means you can extract the tripod quickly from the end of the bag like an arrow from a quiver.
  • Thermoform padding holds the tripod in place in the bag and protects it, especially the head, during transport.
  • Serves a double purpose by protecting you from the tripod's hard edges when carrying it by your side.
  • Inner pocket holds accessories (such as video head pan bars) where they won't rattle around or get damaged
  • Innovative design and style; ballistic nylon, zips and other materials used are of top quality
  • Can be hand-carried horizontally by the side handle, vertically by the end handle (also useful for storage), or shoulder-carried using the included strap.
