16kg Payload with Adjustable Counterbalance System
Capable of supporting up to 16kg, the Manfrotto 526 Fluid Video Head is ideal for heavy professional level camera rigs. Its spring adjustable counterbalance system offers a refined balance for payloads between 8 to 15kg, allowing filmmakers to quickly set-up their heavy equipment.
Long Quick Release Plate
The 140mm long sliding quick release plate features an anti-rotation alignment pin and provides a large range of adjustment to fine-tune balance for heavy equipment and long lenses. A 1/4-inch screw and 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch adapter lets you attach external accessories directly onto the head to reduce top heaviness to the camera, offering better balance and smoother movement.
Variable Fluid Drag System
Using a fluid-cartridge design, the variable drag mechanism provides a good range of friction adjustment, offering videographers custom controlled pans and tilts regardless of the weight of their gear. A zero drag setting offers ultra-smooth motion across the -70° to +75° lateral tilt range and 360° panoramic rotation.
Integrated 100mm Half Ball and Bubble Level
Thanks to the integrated 100mm half ball, capturing levelled footage is easy, even on rough terrain. The bright bubble level further assists in achieving precise balance even in low light conditions.
Independent Pan and Tilt Controls
Ergonomic and rubberised for a comfortable grip, the independent pan and tilt locking knobs optimise user control. These controls, along with the quick-release and counterbalance adjustment knobs, are all on one side of the tripod head so they can be easily managed using only one hand, leaving your right hand free for camera and pan bar operation.
Durable Design
The pan arm rosette is completely removable and user-replaceable to increase the head’s longevity. Made primarily from aluminium, the Manfrotto 526 Pro Video Tripod Head is both lightweight and strong, resistant to wear and tear making it ideal for videographers on the go.
