Manfrotto 528XB Pro Video Heavy Tripod Legs

The Manfrotto 528XB Pro Video Heavy Tripod Legs are the go-to heavy-duty base for serious videographers and cinematographers handling big rigs, jibs, or broadcast setups.

Built from a mix of sturdy aluminium and steel for durability and lightness where it counts, the legs weigh 7.4 kg (16.3 lb) and feature a single-stage, single-tube design with adjustable mid-level spreader for rock-solid stability on any surface. The 100 mm bowl accepts high-end fluid heads (like Manfrotto 526, 504X, or Nitrotech series), while the massive 50 kg (110 lb) load capacity (UNI/PdR certified) supports heavy cinema cameras, large lenses, shoulder rigs, or full broadcast packages without flex or wobble.

Max height reaches 148 cm, min height 73 cm, and folded length 99 cm (compact for its strength)—quick to deploy with secure leg locks and a 30° locked spreader position for faster setups and extra rigidity. No more shaky foundations on location or studio floors—this legendary tripod delivers pro-level toughness, vibration damping, and reliability trusted by film crews worldwide. Grab it and build a foundation that handles anything you throw at it!

• Extra payload of 50kg (110,2lb) for heavy duty applications
• Stainless steel tubes on the base for corrosion resistance
• Telescopic ''quick-action'' spreader with preset position
• 100mm bowl + 100mm half ball adapter included

The 528XB is the ideal location tripod, with a massive 50kg load capacity. It is a sturdy single-stage tripod with a single-tube leg structure. Tubes are made of stainless steel for strength under heavy loads, and aluminum for weight saving. The leg spread is fully adjustable, but also incorporates a 30° locked position for faster set up and greater strength.

A 100mm bowl accepts industry-standard half-ball video heads and allows you to level the head quickly for accurate panoramic shots. The included claw ball allows you to use it with heads not equipped with a half ball. The 528XB includes a versatile mid-level spreader, which has telescopic ''ratchet'' braces that click into place in each of the preset positions for faster deployment. Each brace can be individually set, allowing each tripod leg to be separately positioned.

The Manfrotto 528XB Pro Video Heavy Tripod Legs comes with a full Manfrotto Australia warranty.
