The 646 FTT Fast Twin Tripod and 635 FST Single-Leg Fast ranges both feature a premium design and high-quality metal casting and carbon fibre for superior performance. 

The 645 FTT Fast Twin Tripod is the first model in a new range featuring double tubing and Ultra L-Lock lever technology for the most robust support ever. The tripod is provided with a 2 in 1 half ball: a standard 100mm bowl along with a 75mm adapter to enable the use of a wider range of video heads. It also features a middle spreader lock. However, the 3-angle selectors make the use of a spreader a matter of optional preference. Users will also enjoy the extremely low maintenance this product requires.

The 635 FST Single-Leg Fast on the other hand, has single tubing and features the Extra M-Lock twist lock, for secure locking with a single, easy gesture. The 635 FST tripod features a 75mm half ball and is compatible with a 60-mm half ball adapter (sold separately). In addition, it features Easy Link friction arm attachments compatible with Manfrotto anti-rotation and Arri anti-twist pins. This enables users to attach an external monitor or any other accessory they may require without the risk of the arm rotating while in use.

Both ranges were developed with the primary objective of making video shooting easier by reducing set up times and maintenance.

The new Fast tripods will be available in November from £999.95.
