Manufacturer's product description
Manfrotto, the world's most renowned brand for professional photo and video accessories, introduces the Modo family of tripods - the world's first photo and video tripod designed for everyday use. Manfrotto has taken the professional features from its best-selling products and incorporated them into the Modo to create a high-performance, ultra-compact and lightweight tripod that packs into any bag or backpack. Now, even the amateur photographer can utilize the techniques of professionals and take high quality photographs and video. All Modo tripods feature a number of innovative design elements that come together to create a unique blend of stability, portability and ease of use. Developed with a versatile hybrid head, the Modo can be used with both digital camera and video equipment. With the touch of the safety button, the quick-release plate allows the user to easily switch between cameras and equipment, making capturing family, vacation and everyday moments simple. As is the case with all Manfrotto tripods, the Modo was designed for quick, easy and reliable use. The black aluminum alloy tripods feature a sleek oval leg shape, making adjusting them even easier by preventing the legs from rotating.
