Manfrotto Launches Compact Series Dedicated To Social Recorders

Portability and lightness for the ideal travelling photo tool

London, March 2011 – Manfrotto announces the arrival of the COMPACT series. In response to an increased need for possessions to be more portable, all of the supports in the COMPACT range are designed to occupy as little space as possible, to better suit our changing lifestyles.

The new COMPACT family is made up of a Photo-Movie kit, a Photo kit and a Photo-Movie monopod, all available in stylish black or grey finish to match existing camera colours. With its full-size length and intuitive action ball heads and ergonomic fittings, the COMPACT range offers the perfect tools to help improve your photography and explore your creativity, with an easy and smooth operation.

These supports are all ultra-compact and lightweight which makes them the ideal travelling tool. No compromises have been made on extended length. When opened, the five section COMPACT range extends to full size supports.

With the rise of cameras featuring embedded video functions, the COMPACT Photo-Movie kit is a universal solution that is fast and efficient for all applications. The COMPACT monopod is a great option when there are crowds of people and limited space e.g. at a festival or a sports event. It will help you to capture the perfect moment, especially if there is low light.

The COMPACT range is driven by an innovative appeal to ergonomic and high quality solutions. As a result it has unique features that ensure maximum compactness. It is the range that most clearly reflects what Manfrotto believes is a rapidly growing and significant phenomenon: the desire to take better shots, whilst enjoying the experience.
