The Manfrotto Black Steel Air-cushioned Heavy Duty tripod is designed for maximum stability and durability in demanding conditions. This sturdy steel tripod features patented air cushioning that protects your equipment from shocks and vibrations when extending or retracting sections. Its solid construction and load capacity make it the ideal choice for heavy lighting equipment, flashes, and other studio equipment. Ideal for professional photographers and filmmakers looking for a reliable and durable solution for their studio and outdoor projects.

This is a professional steel tripod designed for stable mounting of photographic or film equipment. The tripod is made of high-quality steel in black with a chrome coating, which gives it durability and an elegant appearance. As a Heavy Duty Junior tripod, it is designed for professional use in studios, photography, or filmmaking.

The tripod has an extendable design with three extendable sections, allowing for flexible height adjustment. The diameters of the individual sections are 40, 35, and 30 millimeters, ensuring optimal stability and rigidity of the structure. The length of the tripod when folded is 131 centimeters, which facilitates transport to photo shoots and various workplaces.

The maximum height of the tripod is 333 centimeters, while the minimum working height is 131 centimeters. This range provides photographers and videographers with sufficient options for setting the ideal working height according to the needs of a specific project. The diameter of the tripod base is 126 centimeters, providing a sturdy and stable base for secure load placement.

The maximum load capacity of the tripod is 40 kilograms. When fully extended and tilted at 5 degrees, the load capacity is reduced to 3 kilograms when reaching the maximum height of 333 centimeters. This feature is essential for safety when working with heavier optical elements or lighting equipment.

The tripod is equipped with an air damping and suspension system that prevents sudden drops in load and ensures smooth height adjustment. This technology protects the mounted equipment from damage and allows for precise positioning without shaking. The air brake actively regulates the speed at which the load is lowered.

The top mount of the tripod is equipped with three types of mounts for maximum compatibility with various light heads and cameras. Available are: a 1 1/8-inch or 28-millimeter diameter socket, a 5/8-inch or 16-millimeter diameter pin, and a 3/8-inch thread. This multiple connection ensures that the tripod can be used with a wide range of professional equipment.

The tripod has round legs consisting of three sections. The individual legs have a diameter of 22 millimeters and are equipped with an adjustable leveling foot that allows for compensation for uneven ground. This solution is particularly useful when working in terrain where the floor is not completely flat.

The tripod weighs approximately 9.5 kilograms, which is a favorable ratio for such a robust construction and a load capacity of 40 kilograms. Although the tripod belongs to the Heavy Duty category of tripods for heavy loads, its lower weight makes it easier to handle and transport. The tripod is certified with a type 14 socket and is compatible with the 109, 110, and 110G series wheels.

Based on these parameters, it is a reliable and versatile tripod designed for professional photographers and film producers who require a stable and flexible solution for mounting their equipment in a wide variety of working conditions.
