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.

Mounted on a built-in 50mm half bowl leveling system

The Manfrotto 745MF3 MagFiber MDeVe Tripod tripod provides high performance with an extremely compact and lightweight structure. The 745MF3 is made of aluminum and has carbon fiber leg sections with magnesium castings. This two-stage tripod is specifically geared towards "on-the-go" videographers looking for a simple, straightforward tripod without sacrificing stability. With a maximum load capacity of 13.2 pounds, the Manfrotto 745MF3 video tripod is designed to handle payloads commonly associated with Mini DV or DVCAMs. An integrated 50mm leveling ball allows for quick set up with ±15° of leveling capability. The 745B is ideal for travel, quickly folding up to a compact 24.8 inches and weighing only 4.4 pounds. For applications that demand full extension, the 745MF3 has a maximum working height of 52.5 inches. For low shots, the 745MF3 can provide support as low as 8.7 inches with all three legs opened to a full 90 degrees.

Manfrotto 745MF3 MagFiber 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 745MF3 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.

Quick action lever leg lock system (45º)

Built-in 50mm Half Bowl Leveling System

The 745MF3 differs from the 754, 755B and 756XB MDeVe tripods by utilizing an integrated 50mm leveling ball instead of a center column. This allows for quick set up with 15 degrees of leveling capability, and contributes to making the 745MF3 ideal for travel, weight, and compactness.
