PROFESSIONAL VIDEO SUPPORTS 2005/06 (SUPPLEMENT)

THE LATEST CAMERA TECHNOLOGY REQUIRES MATCHING INNOVATIVE SUPPORT Today s video cameras come equipped with the latest technology packed into an ever-decreasing camera size, but the general rule-of-thumb for absolute crisp image quality still applies. With these lightweight cameras this rule is ever more imperative: the need for vibration-free support coupled with an icy-smooth fluid video head. Manfrotto offers a number of innovative tripod, head and monopod solutions that match the particular needs of all video cameras. Whether it s professional, prosumer or consumer, Manfrotto has the answer. A true line of video camera supports would be incomplete without the support of a full range of accessories to make your life easier. From remote controls to dollies to mid-level spreaders to padded bags, Manfrotto supports your creativity no matter what and where you re shooting.

Video head PRO FLUID VIDEO HEAD 526 5.9in 7.9lb 35.3lb 3272 The new 526 Pro Video head directly addresses the heavy-duty, high-end ENG and EFP video market by offering a feature-packed fluid video head that has all of the combined benefits of our 500 series heads with the ability to support top weight loads of 35.3lbs. The 526 offers our most precise fluid drag system comprised of three step settings for low, medium and high drag levels (numbered 1, 2 and 3), plus the additional no-drag setting (number 0) for such occasions as snap-pans/tilts. Counterbalance is achieved through an adjustable spring for camera weights between 17.6lb and 33.1lb. The built-in 100mm half-ball adapts to a number of our tripods with a 100mm receiver, allowing the quick levelling of the camera with the aid of the bright levelling bubble. The 526 also features a replaceable and removable pan arm rosette so if any damage occurs to the side castings, only a small part needs to be replaced; large rubber padded knobs for better grip and left side controls (tilt and pan lock, tilt drag) so they can be easily found. The 526 comes with one pan arm and the long 3272 plate.

Zoom remote control for Angenieux, Canon and Fujinon lenses ZOOM REMOTE CONTROL FOR ANGENIEUX ENG LENSES 524AX ZOOM REMOTE CONTROL FOR CANON ENG LENSES 524CN ZOOM REMOTE CONTROL FOR FUJINON ENG LENSES 524FN Professional DV cameras continue to evolve and borrow many of the features found on the very high-end ENG cameras including removable manual lenses. Manfrotto is proud to introduce a new range of zoom remote controls dedicated to the professional ENG lens market. Using the same popular pan-handle design of the 523PRO and 522P remotes, Manfrotto now offers three new zoom remote controls (524FN, 524CN and 524AX) - one for each of the three different ENG lens manufacturers: Fujinon, Canon and Angenieux. Each of the three 524 remotes comes with a built-in 90cm 8-pin cable to automatically adapt to the 8-pin connection found on most analog ENG lenses. We offer an optional 8 to 12 pin adapter (524ADAPT) to connect the remotes to those Fujinon lenses which require a 12-pin plug. Just like our 522P and 523PRO remotes, the 524 series is built into the pan handle which automatically adapts to the Manfrotto 500 series pro video heads. As with all our pan-handle remotes, various diameter adapter bars are available to attach the remotes to any video head. Professional wheel zoom for finer adjustment and smoother progressions Telescopic pan bar allows you to choose the most comfortable working position Zoom wheel direction can be inverted (left right or right left) Incorporation of the remote control with the video head pan bar ensures sturdy attachment and eliminates mechanical problems COMMANDS Waterproof cover supplied with a crystal clear vinyl panel to allow you to view the remote control button during the shooting session. The cover slips quickly over the remote pan bar to protect it from rain or sudden showers. ADAPTER CABLE 524ADAPT This optional 3.9in adapter cable allows you to convert the 8-pin 524FN Fujinon Remote Control cable to a 12-pin configuration found on some Fujinon ENG lenses ZOOM WHEEL that comfortably and naturally fits the hand to produce smooth zooms RECORD START/STOP BUTTON to easily locate as you re looking through the viewfinder RETURN VIDEO FUNCTION that allows you to play back the last 5 seconds of recorded material with the camera automatically cueing up the tape to the last frame so as not to break timecode STEPLESS ZOOM CONTROL SPEED DIAL allowing you to pre-select a zoom speed and/or changing the zoom speed mid-shot ILLUMINATED POWER INDICATOR No batteries are required to operate the remote as all power is pulled from the camera. 5

FIG RIG 595B After years of using the Fig Rig on his award-winning films, Mike Figgis brought his idea to Manfrotto - an idea that is non-traditional in design, but purely simple and effective. It is the only modular system in the world to smoothly support the DV camera and act as a frame to mount all the accessories including zoom controllers, mics, mixers, lights, monitors, arms. With the use of the optional 595CLA you can convert the Fig Rig frame into a fully-loaded roving cine rig precisely positioning your mic or monitor anywhere around your camera. Add on a Manfrotto 521 series remote control and now you have complete fingertip control of zoom and focus. Customize the Fig Rig to your liking. Manfrotto provides the canvas to allow you to create your masterpiece. I needed to design a piece of equipment that could be used with the new generation of DV cameras. Something that could support the camera and eradicate the instability that is synonymous with small camera use. And Manfrotto seemed to be the ideal company to take it to. They have a world wide profile and a keenly competitive ambition to be at the forefront of the new generation of film technique and innovation. Mike Figgis films using the Fig Rig: 2003 - Cold Creek Manor (Feature) 2003 - Freeway Conversations & The Museum of the Imperfect Past (Valencia Biennale Installation) 2003 - Red, White & Blues (Documentary) 2002 - The Battle of Orgreave (Documentary) 2001 - Hotel 2000 - About Time 2 Compatible microphone holders MICC4 Compatible clamp 595CLA Compatible video remote control 521 Compatible video remote control 521 Compatible remote control splitter box 521SB Dedicated Fig Rig site: www.manfrotto.com/figrig 7
