Revolutionary breakthrough from Manfrotto

The only video head on the market that encompasses both interchangeable and adjustable counter-balance springs has been launched by Manfrotto in a revolutionary breakthrough.
The compact but heavy duty 519 pro fluid video head is the very latest addition to the Manfrotto range and was developed to help videographers who use multiple accessories to avoid unintentionally overloading video heads above the maximum recommended weight.
It enables them to not only switch easily between mini DV cameras weighing as little as 1kg and DVCAM equipment weighing up to 10kg but also to fine tune the balance point whatever cameras they are using, with just one head.
Fluid drag is also 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 the finest control through 360° pan and +90° to -90° tilt.
At a time when the choice of equipment available to professional videographers has never been greater, the 519 pro fluid video head simplifies not only the camera switching procedure but also the original purchasing decision.
Weighing 2.9kg and 15cm high, the 519 pro fluid video head is priced at £595.74 + VAT
