- This head can support and balance an incredibly wide range: from cameras of only 1 kg to cameras weighing up to 10 kg
Not all cameras weigh the same, but this head will support and balance an incredibly wide range: from Mini-DV cameras of only 1 kg to professional grade DV cameras weighing up to 10 kg.
Professionals have as many equipment options as they do shooting styles, utilizing a wide range of different cameras including MINI DV, DVCAM, HD, ENG. When using numerous accessories, many of these set-ups can quickly overload video heads above the maximum recommended weight.
Understanding the problem that professional Videographers face, Manfrotto has developed the 519, a compact, yet heavy duty fluid video head capable of accommodating a counterbalance payload from 1.5 kg up to 9 kg, thanks to a world first of interchangeable AND adjustable counter-balance springs.
Combining both features will allow Videographers to easily interchange a vast array of cameras of various weights as well as quickly fine tune the perfect balance point of whatever camera being used, all with just one head!
In addition, fluid drag is easily controlled with a large click-stop numbered knob in seven increments. Drag can be adjusted from the highest possible setting to nearly zero drag, allowing for the finest control through 360º pan and +90º to -90º tilt.
