PMA 2008 Report
Manfrotto’s award-winning 560B fluid monopod revolutionized the landscape of support solutions for the photo and video industries. Highly praised by professional and amateurs alike for its stable, fluid design, the 560B provides smooth panning and image capture in any environment. Improving on the popular 560B, Manfrotto is proud to launch its bigger sibling, the 561B. The 561B is higher, sturdier and more robust, making it ideal for Mini DV, HDV and photo applications; however, it boasts many of the same features as the 560B, including a fluid cartridge and three pivoting, retractable feet for the ultimate in jump free panning. Both the 560B and 561B will be on display at PMA 2007.
