The MPRO 536 tripod features a new leg angle selector, developed for quick, easy and precise leg angle adjustments.

Improved quick-action leg locks

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.

526 Pro Video Head Key Features

Fluid Movement, +75° to -70° Tilt Range, 360° Pan Range

Manfrotto's pan and tilt movement technology is based on a system of cartridges filled with a specific silicon fluid. This technology provides the smooth, constant movement needed to achieve shake-free images while panning and tilting during all types of video shooting sessions.

Built-in 100mm Half-Ball and Spirit Level

The built-in 100mm half-ball adapts to a number of Manfrotto tripods with a 100mm receiver, allowing the quick levelling of the camera with the aid of the bright levelling bubble.

4-Step Adjustable Drag Control

The 526 offers Manfrotto's most precise fluid drag system comprised of three step settings for low, medium and high drag levels (numbered 1, 2 and 3), plus the additional no-drag setting (number 0) for such occasions as snap-pans/tilts.

Independent Pan and Tilt Locking Mechanisms

Variable Counter Balance Adjustment

Counterbalance is achieved using a system of springs inside the head which help to keep the camera from rolling forwards or backwards under its own weight when the video head is tilted. This system allows a cameraman to achieve smoother tilt movements. The spring can be adjusted in order to operate from a minimum of 17.6 pounds to a maximum of 33.1 pounds.

Removable and Replaceable Pan Arm Rosette

The 526 also features a replaceable and removable pan arm rosette so if any damage occurs to the side castings, only a small part needs to be replaced; large rubber padded knobs for better grip and left side controls (tilt and pan lock, tilt drag) so they can be easily found. The 526 comes with one pan arm.

Sliding Quick-Release Plate With Secondary Safety Lock

The ability to adjust the camera plate by sliding it allows you to accurately balance the camera load on the head and reduce to a minimum the effort required to tilt it forward and backward. The plate is supplied with two 1/4" and two 3/8" camera screws.
