The 701RC2,755MF3K is a complete kit consisting of the Manfrotto 755MF3 MagFiber MDeVe Tripod, the 701RC2 Mini Video Head and the MBAG80 Tripod Bag. The 755MF3 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.

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. The 701RC2 is one of the most compact and lightweight two-way heads found on the market and was designed to support the latest digital video equipment. The MBAG80 Tripod Bag is made of durable ballistic nylon and is equipped with a shoulder strap and zip fastener.

Manfrotto 755MF3 MagFiber 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.

The Manfrotto 755MF3 MagFiber MDeVe Tripod tripod provides high performance with an extremely compact and lightweight structure. The 755MF3 is made of aluminum and has carbon fiber leg sections with magnesium castings. 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.

Center column with built-in 50mm half ball

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 755MF3 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 755MF3 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.

Quick action lever leg lock system (45º)

Built-in Leveling System

The 755MF3'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.
