The Manfrotto 117B is built with stainless steel extension legs and extra-sturdy leg locks which make it robust and reliable for video crew use. It has a built-in spirit level at the shoulder and a telescopic mid-level spreader, and it also comes equipped with rubber feet and retractable metal spikes to keep it firmly locked in place even on difficult surfaces.

This is paired with the MVH502AH Head, which offers full smoothness control via its variable fluid mechanisms and is ideal for panning and other camera movements. It’s the perfect strength for camcorders and HDSLRs with extra accessories, boasting a maximum capacity of 4kg. This combination supports the vast majority of small filming rigs and is great for the small run-and-gun crew.
