Small and lightweight, the 701RC2 fluid video head is capable of accommodating a payload of up to 8.8 pounds, and is ideal for set-ups such as a fully-equipped 3 CCD mini DV camcorder or a spotting scope combined with a digital still or video camera for digiscoping purposes.

Manfrotto 190MFV Carbon Fiber View Tripod

The Manfrotto 190MFV Carbon Fiber View Tripod is similar in features to the 055MFV Carbon Fiber View Tripod, but is shorter and lighter in weight and has a lower maximum load capacity. The 190MFV offers tall and lightweight carbon fiber legs with four different leg angle options to achieve lower heights. Quick-action leg locks quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The 190MFV features magnesium castings and has a natural dark grey non-glare finish. This special version of the 190MF3 MagFiber tripod offers the features most commonly requested by birders and nature photographers. The 190MFV's simple, functional, no-frills design omits the 190MF3 tripod's PRO top casting (not normally used in conjunction with fluid heads and spotting scopes) and its split center column (because low angle shooting isn't as useful for birdwatchers) but does have all the advantages of carbon fiber plus the leg warmers that help make carrying the tripod around more convenient in extreme weather conditions or after a full day out in the cold.

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. Manfrotto's carbon fiber tubing is popular among outdoor photographers because it's light in weight, but it's 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.

Four Different Leg Angle Settings

The Manfrotto 190MFV Carbon Fiber View Tripod offers lightweight carbon fiber legs with four different leg angle options to achieve lower heights.

Foam Rubber Padding

Foam rubber padding protects your hands against the heat and cold.

Quick action lever leg lock system (45º)

Rapid-Action Lever Leg Locks

Quick-action flip lever leg locks allow you to quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The tension of the locking mechanism is user-adjustable, and all parts can be easily serviced or replaced.

Anti-Rotation Tubing and Leg Collars

Anti-rotation tubing and leg collars make for a tripod that's easier and faster to open, position and close. Leg sections use three-faceted tubing for greater anti-torsional resistance. The three-faceted shape of the concentric tubes means they cannot rotate.

Independent Leg Angles

Each of the legs can be set to a different angle of spread for more flexible, versatile positioning and to help keep camera equipment well-balanced over the tripod's center of gravity.

Dark Grey Non-Glare Finish

Ideal for bird watching and nature photography, the 055MFV has a natural dark grey non-glare finish.
