Manfrotto PRO Single CF Kit 100 509HD,536K combines the Manfrotto 509HD Video Head with the Manfrotto Carbon Fiber 536 Tripod. A torsion rigidity superior to that of an equivalent aluminium twin-strut tripod means that the Manfrotto MPRO Tripod system offers better protection against "backlash" effects at the end of pan movements. Special carbon fiber tubing and magnesium castings also bring notable weight savings to the MPRO range, making them easy to carry and transport. The Manfrotto PRO Tripod offers incredibly versatile and speedy height adjustment anywhere from 40cm (15.7in) to 217cm (85in)... all from a single system, without needing any accessories. The Manfrotto PRO Single CF Kit is ideal for new DSLR-Video cameras.

The Manfrotto 509-HD Tripod Head included with this tripod kit is designed specifically for heavier camcorders and the new 3D rigs. The Manfrotto 509HD Tripod Head is the result of an important technical evolution - the perfect synthesis between Manfrotto's innovative "bridge architecture" and cutting edge engineering. Thanks to the bridge design of the Manfrotto 509HD Tripod Head, the PAN friction control is intuitive and easy to set, but also protected against knocks. Movement around the PAN and TILT axes is smoothed by ball-bearing units which remove all unwanted vibration, no matter what the operating temperature. Friction control combines with a step counterbalance system (covering the full weight range of video equipment) to allow the Manfrotto Pro Video 509HD Tripod Head to be fine-tuned with extreme precision for the exact in-shot movements you need. The tripod head 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 setup. The load capacity has also been improved: this Manfrotto video head supports kit up to 13kg (28.8lb) at 55mm c.o.g and two 3/8" 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.
