Professional Tripod System: Carbon Fiber Legs + Video Head + Ball Head - $290 (san jose downtown)

The price for the entire tripod system is $290. I won't sell individual items separately. This price is firm and non-negotiable. Please don't ask for a discount or make an offer. For sale is a complete professional-quality tripod system. This includes a set of Manfrotto brand carbon fiber tripod legs. This also includes two different compatible tripod heads. The first is a Manfrotto brand video head, and the second is a Slik brand ball head. The video head and ball head are intended for different circumstances. You can choose which head to use on the legs, depending on your specific uses. As part of the purchase, you'll get a set of professional tripod legs. These are Manfrotto brand, model number 190CXPro3. This is mainly constructed of very sturdy, but extremely lightweight carbon fiber. A few parts are constructed of magnesium aluminum alloy. It has an 11-pound load capacity. But due to the carbon fiber construction, it weighs just 3.5 pounds! Each leg has three-sections that extend with flip locks. The three legs can independently spread with four different stop angles (25, 46, 66, and 89 degrees). The legs include an extendable center column. When completely folded for storage, the tripod is 23" in length. The maximum tripod height with the center column fully raised is about 57". Without the center column extended, the maximum height is about 48". The minimum height is about 3.5", because the legs are capable of extending out at an 89-degree angle. The center column not only raises up and down vertically, but it can also be hung horizontally at a 90-degree angle and moved forward and back. Please see Pictures 8 to 10 for this horizontal center column configuration. This allows you to take pictures of ground level objects, either above the object or next to the object. This versatility is very helpful. These tripod legs are in excellent functional and cosmetic condition. The flip-locks and individual leg sections open and close with ease. The push and pull movements of each of the three legs are smooth and non-jerky. The center column lock and vertical and horizontal movements are also smooth. The rubber feet are excellent. And the tripod mount screw post is intact without concerns. There are no major scratches, dents, dings, or other cosmetic concerns on any of the exterior surfaces. The original cardboard box is not available. As part of the purchase, you'll also get a compatible video head that perfectly sits atop the tripod legs. The video head is a Manfrotto brand, model number 561BHDV. This is mainly constructed of very sturdy, but lightweight magnesium aluminum alloy. A few, less critical parts are constructed of plastic. It has a 20-pound load capacity. But due to the aluminum construction, it weighs just 1 pound. It measures about 3.8" tall. This video head is a fluid type head that can tilt and pan. The head can tilt up to -70 degree or +90 degrees. It can also rotate 360 degrees for panning. It includes Manfrotto brand Quick Release (QR) sideload, sliding balance plate. The system has a fixed 5-pound counter-balance. The long video head control arm can be positioned on right or left side for right or left-handed use. The fluid video head is in excellent functional and cosmetic condition. All the levers and dials work with ease. The tilt and pan movements are smooth when open, but it maintains a strong grip when closed. The QR plate and its locking mechanism is in excellent condition. There is nothing wrong with it. The original cardboard box is not available. The above Manfrotto video head is particularly useful if you are using a standard video camera in landscape mode. But if you need to use the horizontal center column of the tripod legs for still photography, this Manfrotto video head is relatively useless. Therefore, I am including another type of tripod head in the sale. Specifically, I am including a tripod ball head, which is great when using the horizontal center column. Connecting the ball head to the legs with the horizontal center column allows you to take still photos of objects at or near ground level. And you can aim your camera in almost any direction with this ball head, which makes it extremely versatile for still photography at any angle. The included ball head is a Slik brand, model number SBH-180DS. It is constructed of aluminum and magnesium alloy for lightweight, but robust support. The head has a 7-pound load capacity, but it weighs just 6 ounces! The ball head measures just 3.4" in height with a base diameter of 1". It has a single control dial that unlocks both the ball and rotation mechanism. The ball can pivot 90 degrees for portrait-style photography. At the top of the head is an Arca-compatible quick release (QR) clamp with rotating dial lock. The ball head comes with a Neewer brand 4.7" long Arca-compatible QR plate, model number QS-120. The QR plate connects to your camera gear using 1/4" or 3/8" screw mounts. The QR plate is 4.7" long to allow for greater freedom of movement for ground-level or horizontal photography. The ball head and QR plate are in excellent functional and cosmetic condition. There is nothing wrong with either item. All single lock control dial works without problems. The ball head moves with ease when required. But it also stays completely stationary when locked. The QR plate robustly sits on top of the ball head and can be easily removed when necessary. The QR lock dial is intact with no problems. The original cardboard boxes are not available. You can pick up from my house near the San Jose Airport. Or I would be happy to deliver it to you, if I happen to travel out in your direction.
