By

Manfrotto MVT535AQ

Manfrotto has added a new single leg aluminum tripod to the 535 series of video tripods. The MVT535AQ supports 44 pounds and features a 75mm bowl, as well as a 60mm bowl adapter.

It also adds a fourth leg section (compared to the three section carbon fiber model), while maintaining the same reach and load capacity, allowing it to be an even more compact design.

The MVT535AQ retails for $367 and will be available as a kit with the Manfrotto 500, 502 and 504HD video heads. Check out all of the Manfrotto 535 series here at B&H Photo.

Fuji X30

Here’s another look at the upcoming Fuji X30 in black. Now we get a better look at the control layout atop the camera. It’s very similar to the X20. The most notable difference being the presence of a video record button where the Fn button was on the X20.

Expect an official announcement soon.
