FS: Manfrotto 75mmm/100mm 542 ART CF Tripod w 519 Fluid Head & Manfrotto Carrying Bag
For sale: gently used Manfrotto 542ART Carbon Fiber tripod and Manfrotto 519 Head, with Manfrotto carrying bag. This combination supports loads of up to 22 lbs (the sticks support 33lbs; the head 22 lbs).
New, this system cost well over $2000; I’m selling here for $950 for the kit. (The tripod alone often sells for more than $1000 used: http://www.tripodmarket.com/manfrotto-542art-video-tripod-leg.html ) If it doesn’t sell here, I’ll be posting on Ebay as well.
The 542ART is a great set of carbon fiber sticks that features a ‘one touch’ deployment for super quick set-up and tear-down. It has a max load capacity of 33 lbs. From the Adorama listing on this tripod
“Complete with all of the features and practical innovations that have made the Manfrotto 540ART tripod among the most popular video tripod in the world, the carbon fiber 542ART offers the added benefit of a unique squid spreader that delivers even more flexibility for shooting in tight spaces.
This squid spreader offers improved anti-torsion resistance and keeps the legs locked safely in position even in situations where space is at a premium and the tripod's footprint is smaller than usual. Unlike most other spreaders, the squid allows the user to fine tune the spreader brace angle to suit virtually any working position. Use of carbon fiber tubing makes this two-stage video tripod one of the lightest in its class.
The 542 uses our patented A.R.T. (Advanced Release Technology) mechanism for the fastest opening, positioning, and closing of any video tripod -- ideal for news crews filming under pressure. Another feature is the double stainless steel spiked feet which provides unmatched traction on uneven terrain or at odd angles. For shoots on smooth floors or surfaces, these new tripods also offer pull on/off rubber feet which can be quickly and easily installed.
The 542ART comes with a 75mm-100mm bowl adapter for compatibility with all industry-standard half-ball video heads. The A.R.T., or Advanced Release Technology, also allows it to be opened and locked into position as soon as the legs have been spread without any hand-operated buttons or levers. This technology is based on the movement of the mid-level spreader during the opening and closing of the tripod, and operates the locking devices of the top and bottom leg sections.”
The 519 fluid head features 360°, -90/+91.5° Pan & Tilt Drag, and the drag is continuously variable from 0 to max.
