As technology advances, so does the need of the professional videographer to have a safe and intuitive solution for supporting heavy professional video gear. The new Nitrotech N12 fluid video head increases the capabilities of the previous N8, increasing the maximum payload to 12kg in a new distinctive design that brings together all the improved functionality of an already popular tripod head in the video industry.
The high-tech mechanism inside Manfrotto's innovative Nitrogen piston mechanism guarantees continuous counterbalance. The CBS is adjusted via the operating knob and the Nitrogen piston moves up and down to precisely counterbalance from 4 to 12 Kg @ 55mm C.O.G. without steps.
The variable fluidity function on both pan and tilt allows completely smooth, judder-free movement. It also features a 3/8" Easy Link equipped with an anti-rotation function that enables an external monitor or other accessories to be fitted. The sliding plate attachment side-lock mechanism allows safe, quick and easy camera attachment.
Manfrotto 545B Aluminium Tripod
The Manfrotto 545B is a two stage, twin leg, lightweight aluminum professional video tripod. Due to optimization of the upper and lower collars, the tripod guarantees more torsion rigidity and payload (55 lbs.), plus improved shooting performance. The collars have also been redesigned to be aligned with the single tube tripods.
The die cast aluminum crown features a built-in 100mm interface bowl, which can be adapted to a 75mm if needed. The tripod is equipped with an innovative mid-level spreader for improved tripod stability. It comes with quick on-off rubber shoes for better grip on smooth floors.
