• MDEVE

  MDEVE tripods are, in many ways, the point where Manfrotto’s video know-how and our long experience in photography meet: our R&D team realised that video supports could benefit from some of the main advantages of photo tripods. They took the lightweight, torsion-resistant, carbon/aluminium single-tube leg structure of the photo tripod, with its easily extensible centre column, and built in a new video-ready leveling system, fitted directly to the top of the center column. The result is a tripod that’s as quick to set up as a true photo tripod, but has the fine levelling and torsion resistance demanded by video. MDEVE is ideally suited for lightweight camera equipment and for situations where set-up speed is of the essence.

• Neotec

  This is how a tripod should work: quick and easy set up and effortless to close. At the heart of this tripod lies the innovative Neotec mechanism which, hidden safely inside the leg and without any external levers or knobs, pushes outwards on the tubing to lock the leg in place at any extension. With the patented Neotec rapid opening and closing mechanism, with no screws, knobs or levers to tighten or loosen, just pull each leg downwards to open and automatically lock it in any position. Then, to fold it back up again, press the mechanism release button and push the leg closed. The mechanism exerts more locking power the heavier the weight pushing down on it from above. ”Upside down” leg construction also stops the worst of the mud you’re standing in from ending up inside the tripod. Combined with the high load capacity, great min-max height range and its full range of professional features, this makes it the ideal tripod for location work under pressure.

• MPRO

  MPRO tripods unite performance and functionality. A torsion rigidity superior to that of an equivalent aluminium twin-strut tripod means that an MPRO tripod offers better protection against ”backlash” effects at the end of pan movements. Special carbon fibre tubing and magnesium castings also bring notable weight savings to the MPRO range, making them easy to carry and transport. Another feature worth pointing out is that MPRO tripods also offer incredibly versatile and speedy height adjustment anywhere, without needing any accessories.

The tripods offer different technologies for the locking system which can be the traditional locking knob, the quick action levers or the time tested automatic leg lock and release system used on the Triaut.
