Overview

The E-Image EK522 75mm Bowl Aluminum Video Tripod System with Mono-Lock Legs combines the REH522 fluid head with AT522 two-stage aluminum tripod legs for lightweight video production with DSLR, mirrorless, Mini DV, and compact HD video cameras. Supporting camera payloads up to 6 kg, the system features a 75mm bowl mount, fixed counterbalance, continuous adjustable tilt drag, and a compact aluminum design optimized for portable field production and fast deployment.

The REH522 fluid head includes a GP1-S sliding plate compatible with select Manfrotto and E-Image systems, fixed pan drag, continuous adjustable tilt drag, and a tilt range from -70° to +90° for smooth camera movement and positioning control. The AT522 aluminum tripod uses a twin-tube, two-stage design with E-Image’s Mono-Lock system, allowing both leg stages to be adjusted simultaneously using a single twist lock. An adjustable mid-level spreader improves stability on uneven terrain, while the included SC-1 soft case supports transport and storage.
