Hybrid Design for Photo and Video

The Manfrotto ONE Aluminium Tripod is built for creators who work across both photography and video using a single mirrorless or DSLR camera setup. Its hybrid construction addresses the common need for separate tripods by combining features from both categories into one system. The non-round aluminium leg shape improves rigidity for sharp stills while increasing torsional resistance for smooth panning during video capture.

Quick Deployment with XTEND

At the heart of the tripod is the XTEND locking system, a patented mechanism that opens all leg sections simultaneously. This dramatically reduces setup time, making it ideal for fast-paced shoots where quick positioning is crucial. Each leg also features an angle selector for adjusting to low or uneven surfaces, and removable rubber feet reveal metal spikes for better grip outdoors.

Xchange System for Setup Flexibility

The Xchange quick release system allows you to swap between tripod heads, sliders or accessories in seconds. It works with a drop-in, twist-lock design that requires no tools, supporting a wide range of 3/8" mount equipment. This makes it particularly valuable for hybrid creators who switch frequently between video and photo tasks or need to alternate between head types on the same shoot.

Centre Column Adjustments

The centre column features a sliding mechanism for height adjustment and can also rotate horizontally using the Q90° function. This supports overhead shooting for flat-lays or product content and can be paired with the levelling function for fast horizon correction without moving the legs. The lower column section is removable, making it possible to position the camera at ground level for macro or low-angle compositions.
