Manfrotto Compact Action Tripod
The Compact Action is the best choice for owners of entry level DSLRs with
standard kit lenses who like to shoot a lot of photos and movies. The ergonomic
joystick head with scroll-wheel locking mechanism is very intuitive and
easy-to-use. Its comfortable grip allows you to capture smooth movies and great
images with little effort.
The innovative circular quick release plate is perfect for effortless camera
attachment by hand without any need for coins or screwdrivers. Thanks to its
shape, camera orientation will never be an issue again. Simply close the lever
just above the joystick handle.
In addition, the Regulating Dial, together with the round quick release plate
allows you to perfectly adjust every camera to the tripod thereby enhancing its
stability.
Last but not least, the photo-movie selector allows maximum freedom in any
circumstance. Switching to the desired mode only takes a second and ensures you
always obtain great photos and smooth movies. For more information please refer
to the product instruction manual.
Compatibility The Compact Action is designed to work perfectly with entry
level DSLRs with standard kit lenses but is compatible also with any device up
to 1.5kg/3.3lbs such as Compacts, Compact System and Bridges Cameras. Please
consider that a lot of semi-professional and professional equipment exceeds
these requirements.
If you own a compact device with the tripod thread in an off-centre position
please be aware that there are some limitations on how close to the side of the
camera the 1/4" thread can be. The minimum distance of the 1/4" thread from the
lateral edge of your device must be 13mm to guarantee the declared
performance.
If you own a Sony Nex 5R/5T you have certainly noticed that these particular
models have a very small surface area around the mounting thread. For this
reason, in each Compact Light box, you will find a special adaptor that will
increase the surface area of these specific cameras in order to better grip the
tripod and obtain maximum stability.
Colours The black edition comes with a black padded carrying bag. To preserve
and protect its finishing and original colour we recommend cleaning it with a
standard white pencil eraser. Special products or water could damage the
finishing.
