It's a fact, not all
cameras weigh the same. Some mini DV cameras may weigh only a 1kg
while professional grade DV cameras can weigh up to of 10 kg.
Professionals have as many equipment options as they do shooting
styles, utilising a wide range of different cameras including MINI
DV, DVCAM, HD, ENG. When using numerous accessories, many of these
setups can quickly overload video heads above the maximum
recommended weight. Understanding the problem that professional
videographers face, Manfrotto has developed the 519, a compact, yet
heavy duty fluid video head capable of accommodating a
counterbalance payload from 1.5 kg up to 9kg. This is a
revolutionary breakthrough from Manfrotto, as the 519 will be the
only video head on the market encompassing both interchangeable and
adjustable counter-balance springs. Combining both features will
allow videographers to easily interchange a vast array of cameras
of various weights as well as quickly fine-tune the perfect balance
point of whatever camera being used, all with just one head! In
addition, fluid drag is easily controlled with a large click-stop
numbered knob in seven increments. Drag can be adjusted from the
highest possible setting to nearly zero drag, allowing for the
finest control through 360° pan and +90° to -90°
tilt.
