COUNTERBALANCE GRAPH
Payload kg
It’s a fact, not all cameras weigh the same. Some mini DV cameras may weigh only a 1kg while professional grade DV cameras can weigh up to of 10kg. Professionals
have as many equipment options as they do shooting styles, utilizing a wide range of different cameras including MINI DV, DVCAM, HD, ENG.
When using numerous accessories, many of these setups can quickly overload video heads above the maximum recommended weight. Understanding the problem
that professional Videographers face, Manfrotto has developed the 519, a compact, yet heavy duty  uid video head capable of accommodating a counterbalance
payload from 1,5kg up to 9kg. This is a revolutionary breakthrough from Manfrotto, as the 519 will be the only video head on the market encompassing both interchan-
geable and adjustable counter-balance springs. Combining both features will allow Videographers to easily interchange a vast array of cameras of various weights as
well as quickly  ne tune the perfect balance point of whatever camera being used, all with just one head! In addition,  uid drag is easily controlled with a large click-
stop numbered knob in seven increments. Drag can be adjusted from the highest possible setting to nearly zero drag, allowing for the  nest control through 360° pan
and +90° to -90° tilt.
