The 509HD,545GBK is a complete kit for heavy duty cameras. The kit consists of the Manfrotto 545GB Aluminum Pro Video Tripod, the 509HD Pro Video Head and the MBAG100PNHD Padded Tripod Bag.

Replacing the Manfrotto 515MVB tripod, the 545GB two stage, lightweight, high tensile aluminum tripod is extremely rigid and stable. Thanks to improved upper and lower collars, the tripod has greater torsion rigidity and payload (55 pounds), improving the overall shooting performance. The MBAG100PNHD 40.2-inch Padded Tripod Bag is made of high-quality durable materials. It 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.

Replacing the Manfrotto 519 and 516 Fluid Heads, the Manfrotto 509HD Video Fluid Head features a patented Manfrotto exclusive, Bridging Technology, which allows for greater load capacity as well as revolutionary performance levels. The "bridge" design also enables the Pan friction control to be more intuitive and easy to set while protecting against any knocks that may occur during the recording process. The 509HD's FDS (Fluid Drag System) is variable and directly controls action and resistance on both axes; the ergonomics of the controls have been noticeably improved to make use of the FDS even easier.

Manfrotto 545GB Aluminum Pro Video Tripod

Built-in 100mm half bowl

Replacing the Manfrotto 515MVB tripod, the 545GB two stage, lightweight, high tensile aluminum tripod is extremely rigid and stable. Thanks to improved upper and lower collars, the tripod has greater torsion rigidity and payload (55 pounds), improving the overall shooting performance. The collars have also been redesigned to be aligned with the new range of single tube tripods. The 545GB has a die-cast aluminum shoulder with a built-in 100mm interface bowl, adjustable leg lock levers for reliability and safety in the field and a floor-level spreader which aids in tripod leg angle setting and improves rigidity. The 100mm interface bowl can be adapted to a 75mm interface via an optional accessory. The lowest leg section has twin spiked metal feet. The 545GB comes with quick on-off rubber shoes for better grip on smooth floors. A version of this tripod with a mid-level spreader, the Manfrotto 545B, is also available.

Manfrotto 509HD Pro Video Head

Replacing the Manfrotto 519 and 516 Fluid Heads, the Manfrotto 509HD Video Fluid Head features a patented Manfrotto exclusive, Bridging Technology, which allows for greater load capacity as well as revolutionary performance levels. The "bridge" design also enables the Pan friction control to be more intuitive and easy to set while protecting against any knocks that may occur during the recording process. The 509HD's FDS (Fluid Drag System) is variable and directly controls action and resistance on both axes; the ergonomics of the controls have been noticeably improved to make use of the FDS even easier. All of this guarantees ultimate control and excellent video camera support -- no matter what the situation, the shooting style, or the equipment set-up.

The load capacity has been improved: the 509HD supports kit up to 28.7 pounds (13 kg). Two 3/8-inch threads on the top plate allow accessories such as monitors and arms to be fitted straight to the head, thus eliminating the need for extra clamps, saving set-up time and freeing the video camera's hot shoe for other components. The Manfrotto 509HD is itself a bridge, helping the professional videographer reach ever-better results, enabling your potential and leading ambitions on towards new challenges. The Manfrotto 509HD systems give you the advantage of total stability and fluidity. An advantage which allows you to go further, towards more dynamic, eye-opening and creative video.

509HD Pro Video Head Key Features

Bridging Technology

The 509HD is the result of an important technical evolution -- the perfect synthesis between an innovative Bridge Architecture and Manfrotto's cutting edge engineering. Bridging Technology is a patented Manfrotto exclusive. Provides a wider, longer platform for your camera and accessories. The bridge design improves the head's rigidity. The high rigidity structure delivers maximum response and strength.

Fluid Movement, Variable Fluid Drag Control On Tilt And Pan Combined With Ball Bearings

The 509HD fluid head combines a high-performing fluidity with a wide variety of professional features. Pan friction control is fast, simple to fine-tune and protected from knocks. The Pan axis rotation unit uses ball bearings to obtain smooth, totally vibration-free controlled movements. Movement can be directly adjusted using the 509HD's variable friction Fluid Drag System (FDS). FDS on both the Pan and Tilt axes also ensures that the head works perfectly at all temperatures.

Four-Step Adjustable Counterbalance System

The 509HD has been designed to offer a load capacity of up to 26.7 pounds (13 kg), making it suitable for a huge range of camera equipment. Friction control combines with a step counterbalance system to allow the 509HD to be fine-tuned with extreme precision for the exact in-shot movements you need. The CBS counterbalance system has four presets for a full range of camera weights.

Independent Locks On Tilt And Pan Axes

1 - ABR - Advanced Balancing Recorder 2 - Tilt locking knob 3 - Easy-Link Connector

Ergonomic Controls For Easy Use In All Conditions

Large ergonomic locks and knobs on the 509HD allow for a more solid grip and better control.

Wider Top Plate And Longer Quick-Release Sliding Plate With Secondary Safety Pin

The 509HD's wider top plate and longer sliding plate offer extra stability and balance while using video or photo equipment. It is assembled using stainless steel screws for protection against corrosion and rust. Your equipment is always secure: even if you forget to block the sliding plate, the secondary safety pin prevents the plate (and your camera) from falling.

Built-in Illuminated LED Bubble Level

The illuminated LED bubble level makes it easy for shooters to level the camera in low-light conditions.

Easy-Link Connectors

Two 3/8-inch threads on the top plate allow accessories, such as monitors or lights, to be easily and securely attached. This allows the camera hot shoe to be used for other accessories, or kept free to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity for improved stability.

ABR - Advanced Balancing Recorder

Allows you to set the perfect balanced position for your camera equipment and then record this position electronically so that this position can be recalled quickly in the future. This reduces the time needed for setup.

Pan Handle With Left And Right Side Pan Bar Attachment

The pan bar attachments on both left and right sides of the head give maximum flexibility. Both attachments have a substitutable rosette wheel, which can be replaced easily and cheaply if it suffers wear or damage... preferable by far to having to substitute the whole side wall of the head.

Manfrotto MBAG100PNHD 40.2-inch Padded Tripod Bag

The Manfrotto MBAG100PNHD Padded Tripod Bag is identical in features and design to the MBAG120PN, but in a slightly smaller size. The MBAG100PNHD is padded to protect your equipment. Innovative design and style: ballistic nylon, zips and other materials used are of top quality and designed in collaboration with Kata Carrying Systems.

The redesigned MBags, available in models of varying lengths, feature new padding with a thermoformed Manfrotto logo, a rubberized loop which makes it easier to open and close, and new attention to the details, making this range of bags iconic and user friendly. The innovation of these Manfrotto carrying solutions is all in the details, in the tech materials and in the improved ergonomics that make these products worthy partners of Manfrotto's proven professional tripods and heads.

MBAG100PNHD Padded Tripod Bag Key Features

Easy access even with the bigger video tripods

End Opening Allows for Faster "Quiver" Style Extraction and Insertion of Tripod

Zip extends down the length of the bag, but also fully opens the top end of the bag, making it easier to get your tripod in and out, as well as being able to extract the tripod quickly. You can extract the tripod quickly from the end of the bag like an arrow from a quiver.

Comfortable Carrying Handle

Ergonomic Design

Asymmetric tapered shape allows you to store the tripod with the head attached. Tripod legs fit comfortably in the narrower end (8.7" diameter) and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end (9.8" diameter). 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.

Durable Materials, Padded End Cap

Thermoform padding holds the tripod in place 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. Logo end cap is padded to offer protection to the tripod head. High quality durable materials, and padded ends protects your tripod throughout.

Inner Pocket

Inner pocket holds accessories (such as video head pan bars) where they won't rattle around or get damaged.

Easy-Grip Zip Opening

New rubberized Manfrotto loop helps when using the zips.

Versatile Carrying Options

Can be hand-carried horizontally by the side handle, vertically by the end handle, or shoulder-carried using the included strap. Side carrying handle is adjustable to better balance transportation of heavy heads mounted on the tripod. The end handle is also useful for storage, allowing you an easy way to remove the bag from a high shelf, for example.
