The MBAG80P Padded Tripod Bag is made of durable ballistic nylon and is equipped with a shoulder strap and zip fastener.

Manfrotto 745MF3 MagFiber MDeVe Tripod

The much-heralded arrival of the digital era has brought with it a drastic reduction in weight and size of video camera equipment, matched by enormous advances in the picture quality achievable with the most minuscule of systems. Those working in the video sector are demanding camera supports that are tailored to these small new cameras but that make no compromises in key areas such as rigidity which could jeopardize the fluidity and smoothness of camera movements. It is out of these demands that Manfrotto's MDeVe series was born.

The Manfrotto 745MF3 MagFiber MDeVe Tripod tripod provides high performance with an extremely compact and lightweight structure. The 745MF3 is made of aluminum and has carbon fiber leg sections with magnesium castings. This two-stage tripod is specifically geared towards "on-the-go" videographers looking for a simple, straightforward tripod without sacrificing stability. With a maximum load capacity of 13.2 pounds, the Manfrotto 745MF3 video tripod is designed to handle payloads commonly associated with Mini DV or DVCAMs. An integrated 50mm leveling ball allows for quick set up with ±15° of leveling capability. The 745B is ideal for travel, quickly folding up to a compact 24.8 inches and weighing only 4.4 pounds. For applications that demand full extension, the 745MF3 has a maximum working height of 52.5 inches. For low shots, the 745MF3 can provide support as low as 8.7 inches with all three legs opened to a full 90 degrees.

Mounted on a built-in 50mm half bowl leveling system

Carbon Fiber Leg Sections With Magnesium Castings

The best tripod is still the one you bring along. Lightweight tripods have not only become a mainstay, they are now a requisite for digital photographers. The trick is to lose weight and maintain maximum support without sacrificing stability, rigidity and reliability. The 745MF3 is one of the most innovative tripods of the MDEVE series due to the combination of low weight (carbon fiber for the legs/magnesium die casting) and high load capacity materials used for its construction.

Built-in 50mm Half Bowl Leveling System

The 745MF3 differs from the 754, 755B and 756XB MDeVe tripods by utilizing an integrated 50mm leveling ball instead of a center column. This allows for quick set up with 15 degrees of leveling capability, and contributes to making the 745MF3 ideal for travel, weight, and compactness.

Manfrotto MBAG80P Padded Tripod Bag (31.5")

Innovative design and style: ballistic nylon, zips and other materials used are of top quality and designed in collaboration with Kata Carrying Systems.

MBAG80P Padded Tripod Bag Key Features

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.

Easy-grip zip opening, padded ends

Ergonomic Design

Asymmetric tapered shape allows you to store the tripod with the head attached. Tripod legs fit comfortably in the narrower end (diameter 13cm - 5.1") and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end (diameter 15cm - 5.9"). 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.

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.

Easy-Grip Zip Opening

Shoulder Strap Included
