Magnus VT-4500 Video Tripod with 2-Way Fluid Head

The VT-4500 Video Tripod with 2-Way Fluid Head from Magnus is a durable and robust video camera support system for videographers and cinematographers on the go. It's constructed with sturdy aluminum three-section legs and flip locks that provide stable support in demanding environments and on location. The legs extend from a minimum height of 33.5", which is great for seated subjects, children, and low-angle shots. At maximum extension, the VT-4500 reaches 73", which will set your camera high enough to shoot over the tops of crowds and for overhead shots.

The 2-way video head has fluid action and has an adjustable pan handle for smooth and seamless camera movement. It features independent pan and tilt locks and incorporates a quick release set that includes a plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-60 camera screws. A bubble level, 75mm leveling ball, and self-adjusting feet ensure perfect alignment with the horizon, even on uneven surfaces like hills, curbs, and stairs.

The VT-4500 is built for camera stability, whether shooting on an uneven surface or in breezy conditions. A mid-level spreader ensures rigidity, even at maximum height, for video that's free of shakes and vibrations.

Shoot like the pros with steady and silky-smooth camera motion. The fluid head delivers uniform and even panning for seamless, rapid moves that follow action or long pan shots of landscapes and panoramas. The spring-loaded counterbalance provides the resistance you need for perfectly smooth tilt moves. Separate pan and tilt locks will keep the camera still once it's aimed.

Rapid setup and camera deployment are essential when rushing to capture that perfect moment. The flip locks rapidly open the tripod to its maximum height in seconds. Adjusting each leg individually is equally quick and easy. The three-section legs provide a large 40" height range for a wide variety of shooting options and then fold up to a compact 35", which is great for travel and storage.

Easily mount and dismount your camera using the quick release system, which allows it to be locked or unlocked in seconds. 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting screws allow the VT-4500 to be used with a wide variety of cameras, video cameras, and camcorders. Attach a plate to all your cameras for rapid camera swapping if you're taking stills after a video shoot.

A plate lock with a safety latch prevents the quick release plate from accidentally unlocking when removing or tilting your camera. The plate is compatible with the Manfrotto 501 plate system.

The head attaches to the tripod with a 75mm leveling ball that can level your camera in seconds. The integrated bubble level ensures your camera is level for shots and pans that are parallel with the horizon. A mid-level spreader offers an additional layer of stability that prevents swaying or vibrations from compromising your video.

The self-adjusting rubber feet won't slip on highly polished surfaces like a gym floor or pool deck. When setting up on an uneven surface, the feet automatically conform to the ground, so the tripod won't wobble while you're working.
