Manfrotto 701HDV,755CX3K MDeVe Tripod/Compact Fluid Video Head Kit

Features in Detail | Enlarged Image

The 701HDV,755CX3K replaces the Manfrotto 701HDV,755MF3K Tripod Kit. The 701HDV,755CX3K is a complete kit consisting of the Manfrotto 755CX3 Carbon Fiber MDeVe Tripod, the 701HDV Compact Fluid Video Head and the MBAG80 Tripod Bag.

The 755CX3 is one of the most innovative tripods of the MDEVE series due to the combination of low weight (carbon fiber for the legs/magnesium die casting) and high load capacity materials used for its construction. Its unique, patent-pending aluminum center column construction and precision-machined red anodized aluminum includes a built-in 50mm leveling ball system locked by a detachable rotating grip built at the bottom of the center column. This extremely versatile tripod is ideal for Mini DV camcorders.

Manfrotto 755CX3 Carbon Fiber MDeVe Tripod

The much-heralded arrival of the digital era has brought with it a drastic reduction in weight and size of video camera equipment, matched by enormous advances in the picture quality achievable with the most minuscule of systems. Those working in the video sector are demanding camera supports that are tailored to these small new cameras but that make no compromises in key areas such as rigidity which could jeopardize the fluidity and smoothness of camera movements. It is out of these demands that Manfrotto's MDeVe series was born.

Center column with built-in 50mm half ball

Replacing the popular Manfrotto 755MF3 Tripod, the Manfrotto 755CX3 Carbon Fiber MDeVe Tripod tripod features a perfect combination of low weight and high load capacity materials and provides high performance with an extremely compact and lightweight structure. The 755CX3 has an aluminum center column, carbon fiber legs and castings of magnesium and aluminum. It is a two-stage tripod supplied with quick release leg locking levers, asymmetric leg angle presets and, most significantly, Manfrotto's patent-pending, rapid center column with built-in leveling half ball. The fact that the 50mm diameter ball with bubble spirit level is attached not to the tripod top spider but to the top of the center column allows you to level the top plate (and consequently the head and camera) and even adjust the camera height without needing to make micro adjustments to the tripod legs, representing timesaving and added convenience.

755CX3 MDeVe Tripod Key Features

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 755CX3 is one of the most innovative tripods of the MDEVE series due to the combination of low weight (carbon fiber for the legs/magnesium die casting) and high load capacity materials used for its construction.
Removable Center Column With Built-in 50mm Leveling Ball and Bubble Spirit Level: The 755CX3 has a removable center column with built-in 50 mm leveling ball and bubble spirit level that can easily be repositioned as a lateral arm. Not only does this allow the camera to be offset from the leg position, it is also the simplest possible way to shoot a subject from directly overhead. Center column with built-in 50mm half ball is locked using the rotating grip located at the bottom of the center column.

New improved leg angle selector levers

Built-in Leveling System: The 755CX3's unique center column construction and precision-machined red anodized aluminum allows the leveling ball to be locked by a detachable rotating grip built at the bottom of the center column. This allows the camera operator to level the camera and even adjust its height without needing to make micro adjustments to each individual tripod leg.
Four Different Leg Angle Settings: The Manfrotto 755CX3 Carbon Fiber MDeVe Tripod offers tall and lightweight carbon fiber legs with four different leg angle options to achieve lower heights. The new angle selector levers have been designed to improve ergonomics.

Rapid-action lever leg locks

Rubber Feet
New Ergonomic Rapid-Action Lever Leg Locks: Quick-action leg locks allow you to quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The new ergonomic leg locking levers have been completely redesigned to improve functionality. They are much easier to operate and have become a seamless element of the tripod.
Three-Layered Rounded 100% Full Carbon Tubes For Legs: The 755CX3's legs incorporate the new three-layered rounded 100% Full Carbon Tubes for improved rigidity and lightness.
Secure-Locking Mountings: Tripod to head connection via a platform with 3/8" male thread, built-in spirit level and three grub screws for secure locking mountings.
