Bogen Imaging has launched the 547B lightweight video tripod, the first tripod from Manfrotto with a 60mm bowl.

The 547B features an upper twin-leg and one stage construction that provides photographers with heightened rigidity, allowing for a 15kg payload.

The introduction of technopolymers into the upper casting and upper and lower collars of the 547B makes the tripod a good choice for professional use and offers maximum torsion rigidity and incredible stability.

A mid level fix spreader and retractable spiked feet are included with the 547B.

The 547B professional video tripod is available as a kit with the professional Manfrotto 701HDV and 501HDV fluid video heads.

The Manfrotto 547B is available from 7 February and will cost £199.95 on its own. Kit prices are to be announced.
