Manfrotto's Nitrotech N12 & 545GB Dual-Leg Tripod System combines the Nitrotech N12 video head, with its 26.4-pound load capacity, and aluminum legs with a ground spreader. The head features a continuously variable counterbalance range from 8.8 to 26.4 pounds, and all the controls for the head are located on the left side so you don't have to take your right hand off the pan handle to operate the head. A specially designed half ball adapter enables mounting this 75mm flat base head onto the included legs that have a 100mm bowl.

The tripod legs weigh under 8 pounds, yet can support up to 55 pounds. The height range is from 11 to 60" with the included ground spreader. The legs feature a half ball fitting, which requires the inclusion of a flat base to half ball leveling adapter, and you can carry the entire system in the included padded carrying case.
