▲ carbon fiber
tubing
Manfrotto's carbon fiber tubing is popular among outdoor
photographers because it's light in weight, but not everyone knows
it's also more rigid and supports heavier loads than aluminum -
giving it a double advantage.
▲ retractable
spiked feet
Retractable spiked feet mean you can use this both outdoors with
the spike extended for better grip on soft terrain, moss, plants,
etc., and indoors on delicate floor surfaces with the rubber foot
covering the spike to avoid damage and give more stable non-slip
support.
▲
weight-saving construction
Materials, design and construction techniques have been carefully
selected to help save weight without sacrificing stability or
strength.
▲ magnesium
castings
Lightweight magnesium is used for die-cast parts. Magnesium has a
density of 1.74g/cm3 as opposed to aluminum's 2.70g/cm3 - a 35%
reduction. Despite its lower weight, magnesium is more rigid than
aluminum, and has the same strength per volume.
▲ ergonomic
leg angle selector
The new ergonomic leg angle selector improves the comfort and the
precision in use.
100% carbon fiber
tubes Manfrotto tubes are made of 100% Carbon Fiber in order to
reach high quality standards and high levels of performance,
rigidity and lightness. Carbon fiber tubes can be very different in
quality, depending on the production process and the percent of
carbon fiber material present in the tubes. Manfrotto chose to
reach the maximum quality using 100% carbon fiber and the pull
winding technology (a special production process able to maximize
performance, resistance and
reliability).
