The Nitrotech N12 + 545B Dual-Leg tripod system from Manfrotto brings together two workhorse pieces of gear to address your video and photo needs. The N12 video head boasts a continuously-variable counterbalance range (ranging from 8.8 to 26.4 pounds) and all controls are to the left for greater ease of operation. The twin-style aluminum tripod legs feature a mid-level spreader for improved stability, and can handle a payload up to 55 pounds. Thanks to optimized upper and lower collars, you'll get all the rigidity you need for your cinema camera, camcorder, or DSLR.
This Nitrotech N12 video head is an innovation you need. Featuring a nitrogen-piston mechanism instead of stepped counterbalance levels, this head's counterbalance can be adjusted to by feel to perfectly suit the drag needs of your setup. The 75mm flat-base head is versatile as well as functional, ready to work with a half-ball adapter if you opt to use other tripods, sliders, cranes, or other setups. The camera mounting plate locks in from the side and you can adjust the exact locking point for easier balancing. There's also an illuminated bubble level at the rear of the head, which lets you see at a glance whether your camera is perfectly level or not before locking things into place. Additionally, thanks to the 3/8" Easy Link Connector built into the side of the head, you can mount your monitor, light, or other accessories directly onto the head to avoid loading up the camera or the main camera mount.
The 545B Pro tripod's two-stage twin-leg design is optimized for maximal rigidity, able to support loads over 50 pounds. It's equipped with a mid-level spreader, giving you great stability, as well as rubber shoes for excellent grip on smooth surfaces. Additionally, the tripod has a 100mm bowl interface that's adaptable to 75mm.
