To achieve maximum image sharpness the camera must be set on a sturdy vibration free tripod fluid head offering smooth pan and tilt movements to iron out any jerky camera motion that will mar the recorded image; this unwritten rule applies both to professional and to amateur use.

Manfrotto Pro Video Tripod Kits

Manfrotto 501HDV,755XBK

Video is essentially dynamic. To achieve maximum image sharpness the camera must be set on a sturdy "vibration free" tripod fluid head offering smooth pan and tilt movements to iron out any jerky camera motion that will mar the recorded image; this unwritten rule applies both to professional and to amateur use.

Manfrotto has a wide range of quality systems for all applications, budgets and camera weights. The video heads they produce offer a variety of technical solutions for camera balancing, drag control, load bearing and tripod mounting. At the top of the range are the Manfrotto 510, 505, 503 and the latest 516 Video Pro heads which include the features required by broadcast industry leaders. The 316 and the 501 are aimed at the corporate and industrial sectors, while the 700RC2, their newest, extremely small, compact entry level video head, joins the already widely used 3130 in the semi-professional video sector.

Manfrotto's range of tripods is even broader, answering the demands of transportability and adaptability to all filming situations expressed by the pro and semi-pro videographers. Manfrotto Pro Video Tripod Kits are complate packages built around a tripod, video head and tripod bag, plus adapter plates and spreaders where applicable.

Manfrotto 523PRO Remote Control

Manfrotto Video Camera Remote Controls

Manfrotto video camera remote control units put the essential commands of market-leading video cameras from Sony, Canon and Panasonic at your fingertips when using a tripod and video head, a jib arm or crane, or any other kind of camera support. The range is divided not only by camera compatibility (due to different use of device protocols by manufacturers, each model has to be designed around specific makes or models of camera), but also by mounting type. The 523PRO has built-in video head pan bars making them most suitable for use in classic tripod/head setups. The 521 models are built onto clamps, enabling them to be used on tubes, pipes, table tops, steering wheels, handlebars, hang-gliders or even to be hand held for ultimate freedom in control.
