Carbon Fiber Leg Sections With Magnesium Castings

The best tripod is still the one you bring along. Lightweight tripods have not only become a mainstay, they are now a requisite for digital photographers. The trick is to lose weight and maintain maximum support without sacrificing stability, rigidity and reliability. The MPRO 536 is manufactured with the world's most advanced high-performance materials: 100% carbon fiber tubes and magnesium die castings. Manfrotto's carbon fiber tubing is popular among outdoor photographers because it's light in weight, but also more rigid and supports heavier loads than aluminum -- giving it a double advantage. Lightweight magnesium is used for die-cast parts. Magnesium has a 35% lower density than aluminum. Despite its lower weight, magnesium is more rigid than aluminum, and has the same strength per volume.

Improved Quick-Action Leg Locks

Quick-action leg locks allow you to quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The ergonomics of the quick action leg locks has been greatly improved.

Industry Standard 75mm and 100mm Bowl Interface

The screw-in 75mm / 100mm bowl adaptor will hold both varieties of industry standard half-ball heads.

All Terrain Retractable Spiked Metal Feet

Rubber feet with retractable metal spikes help make the versatile MPRO 536 easy-to-use whether shooting inside or outdoors. Use the 536 outdoors with the spike extended for better grip on soft terrain such as moss and plants, or indoors with the rubber foot covering the spike to avoid damaging floors and to provide stable non-slip support.
