Tripod legs and video head kit

The Manfrotto 536 carbon fibre legs combine with the 509 fluid video head to form a complete support system for professional camera rigs. Carbon fibre tubing and magnesium castings deliver torsional rigidity while keeping the package light. The 4-step counterbalance mechanism on the head helps balance loads quickly. Ergonomic adjustments and easy-link connectors streamline on-set workflow.

Sustained stability under heavy rigs

The legs are rated for a total load capacity of 55 lbs while the head supports camera systems up to 29 lbs. Bridging Technology with a ball bearing drag system maintains smooth pan and tilt movement during long takes. The Advance Balancing Recorder memorises the balanced position so repeat setups stay consistent without re-calibration. PVC-free materials resist wear during extended location work.

Check mounting and height needs

Verify your camera package weight stays within the 29 lbs head limit and the 55 lbs leg limit before ordering. The height range spans 10.2 inches to 80 inches, so confirm this covers your low-angle and overhead requirements. Ensure the head mounting interface matches your camera base or available adapter plates.

Questions about this item

Does the 509 fluid head generate any motor noise or heat during long shooting days?

The 509 fluid video head uses a mechanical ball-bearing drag system with no motors, so it runs silently and produces no heat during extended use.

What camera mounting hardware must I already own to attach my rig to the 509 head?

The 509 head accepts standard camera plates; you need a compatible quick-release plate for your specific camera body or cage.

Will the 536 carbon fiber legs stably support my older, heavier cinema camera near the 29 lb limit?

The 536 legs are rated for 55 lbs total capacity, so they remain stable with heavier legacy cameras up to the head's 29 lb limit.
