Ideal for PRO ENG camcorder
The new 526 Pro Video head directly addresses the heavy-duty, high-end ENG and EFP video market by offering a feature-packed  uid video head that borrows all
the combined bene ts of our 500 series heads with the ability to support top weight loads of 16kg. The 526 features a replaceable and removable pan arm rosette so
if any damage occurs to the side castings, only a small part needs to be replaced; large rubber padded knobs for better grip and all the controls (tilt and pan lock, tilt
drag) are located on the left side so they can be easily found. The 526 offers our most precise  uid drag system comprised of three step settings for low, medium and
high drag levels (numbered 1, 2 and 3), plus the additional no-drag setting (number 0) for such occasions as snap-pans/tilts. Counterbalance is achieved through an
adjustable spring for camera weights between 8 and 15kg. The built-in 100mm half-ball adapts to a number of our tripods with a 100mm receiver, allowing the quick
levelling of the camera with the aid of the bright levelling bubble. The 526 comes with one pan arm and the long 357PLV plate.

To correctly position a camera on a video head is
important to know its balance point (also known
as center of gravity or “CoG”). All Manfrotto video
head counterbalance systems take into considera-
tion a camera center of gravity of 125mm.
