The Manfrotto Aluminum Video Tripod with Mid-Level Spreaderis a two-stage tripod with a 100mm bowl and a rigid internal leg lock mechanism. A 100-to-75mm bowl adapter is included, so you get the flexibility to use 100 or 75mm video heads. The tripod features twin spiked feet with rubber overshoes, allowing for use on various terrain as well as on flat, smooth surfaces. It supports up to 55 lb and has a maximum working height of 60", minimum height of 23", and folded length of a compact 27".

The tripod comes with a mid-level spreader with telescopic arms for added stability and for setting the leg angles accurately. The spreader is removable and the optional Manfrotto 165MV ground spreader can be attached instead. The tripod is also compatible with the Manfrotto 114MV and 181B dollies, sold separately.
