The Manfrotto 526 Pro Fluid Video Head & 545B Pro Video Tripod System consists of a Tripod Head with essential accessories, 2-Stage Tripod with mid-level spreader, and a soft bag. The 526 Professional Fluid Video Head is designed for the heavy-duty, high-end ENG and EFP video market, offering features derived from Manfrotto's 500 series heads and the ability to support payloads over 15 lb (6.8 kg).

The 526 features a replaceable and removable pan arm rosette. This means that any damage to the side castings requires only a small part replacement, drastically reducing (or eliminating) service down-time. The head also features large, rubber padded knobs for better grip. All controls (tilt and pan lock, tilt drag) are located on the left side for easy access.

This head offers Manfrotto's most precise fluid drag system, comprised of (3) step settings for Low, Medium and High drag levels (numbered 1, 2 and 3) and an additional no-drag setting (number 0) for snap-pan/tilt. Counterbalance is set via an adjustable spring for camera payloads between 17.5 lb (7.9 kg) and 33 lb (14.96 kg). The integrated 4" half-ball adapts to multiple Manfrotto tripods with a 4" receiver, allowing quick leveling of the camera with the aid of the bright leveling bubble. The 526 includes (1) pan arm and (1) long 357PLV quick release camera plate, with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screws and spring-loaded (retracting) finding pin.

The Manfrotto 545B is a 2-Stage, twin leg, lightweight aluminum, professional video tripod with a max. height of 66.5" (169cm). Due to optimization of the upper and lower collars, this tripod guarantees more torsion rigidity and a higher max. payload (55 lb), with improved shooting performance. The collars have also been redesigned to align with single tube tripods. The die cast aluminum crown features an integrated 100mm interface bowl, which can be adapted to a 75mm if needed. The tripod is equipped with an innovative mid-level spreader for improved stability. It also includes easy on/off rubber shoes for better grip on smooth surfaces.
