TRIPODS
The much-heralded arrival of the digital era has brought
with it a drastic reduction in terms of weight and size
of video camera equipment, matched by enormous
advances in the picture quality achievable with the most
minuscule of systems. Naturally enough, those working
in the video sector are increasingly 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 uidity and
smoothness of camera movements. It is out of these
demands that Manfrotto’s MDeVe series was born
Aimed at the DV, Mini DV and Micro DV markets, this
family of tripods provides high performance in an
extremely compact and lightweight structure. The
series is made up of ve tripods; three are entirely
in aluminum and two have carbon ber leg sections
with magnesium castings. All ve are two-stage tripods
and are supplied with quick release leg locking levers,
asymmetric leg angle presets and, most signi cantly,
our patentpending, World First rapid center column
with built-in levelling half ball. The fact that the 50mm
diameter ball with bubble spirit level is attached not to
the tripod top spider but to the top of the center column
allows you to level the top plate (and consequently the
head and camera) and even adjust the camera height
without needing to make micro adjustments to the tripod
legs, representing a massive time saving and giving you
considerable added convenience. Manfrotto MDeVe
tripods - avant-garde digital video camera support.
