Manfrotto ONE Aluminium Tripod

Manfrotto ONE Aluminium Tripod Summary

The Manfrotto ONE Aluminium Tripod is an innovative support system, which Manfrotto has designed specifically for hybrid photo and video creators who shoot with a mirrorless camera. The ONE system is developed through extensive real-world feedback from professionals around the globe, and this is a versatile, Italian-made tripod for mirrorless camera users who want one solution for hybrid stills and video content creation. The aluminium tripod from Manfrotto offers excellent value, combining sturdiness and durability with a lower price compared to the carbon fibre ONE tripod model.

At the heart of the system is a new non-round leg shape. This unique profile provides classic rigidity expected for stills photography, while improving torsional resistance for smooth pans and tilts during video recording. When combined with the newly developed XTEND mechanism, users can deploy all of the tripod leg sections in one quick motion, saving time when you need to setup quickly.

The versatile centre column can be tilted, extended, levelled, or removed for ultra-low angle shooting. When combined with Manfrotto's new Xchange system, it supports quick transitions between heads and accessories. Whether you create landscape photos, overhead product shots, travel or cinematic video, the ONE Aluminium Tripod will fit seamlessly into your workflow, without the need to switch tripods between projects.

Manfrotto ONE Aluminium Tripod in More Detail

Newly Designed Non-Round Aluminium Legs for Hybrid Stability

The ONE Aluminium Tripod has a new non-round leg design, which has been extensively refined through user testing with hybrid creators. This leg shape increases torsional rigidity, which provides greater stability for both stills photos and smooth video pans.

The new shape is combined with a durable aluminium construction, in order to deliver a solid base with reduced flex compared to standard round tripod leg tubes. Each section extends via ergonomic twist locks and features modular feet, that can be swapped when shooting on different terrain. The legs weigh 3.4kg and support a maximum payload of 15kg.

Versatile 4-in-1 Centre Column

At the heart of the tripod is a modular centre column, which provides four functions in one compact design. The Levelling Column enables fine horizontal adjustments without shifting the legs, which is ideal for video and working on uneven ground. The Q90 Mechanism allows the column to flip to a horizontal position, which is especially useful for flat-lay and overhead shots. The Sliding Column provides quick vertical movements to adjust the height, and the entire column can be removed or extended for ultra-low or high-angle setups.

Quick to Setup and Adjust

Manfrotto’s XTEND locking system enables all leg sections to deploy simultaneously in one easy motion. This significantly reduces setup time and makes height changes easier and quicker in the field. A new Angle Selector lets users independently lock each leg at multiple angles, which provides yet more flexibility for shooting awkward or creative compositions.

Modular and Expandable

Manfrotto has added accessory support via a built-in Easy Link Mount, which allows users to add arms, lights, or monitors directly to the tripod without extra brackets. A carrying handle is also planned for future releases, which is aimed at improving mobility when moving between locations.

Designed for Creators

From overhead product shots to eye-level interviews or low-angle video, the modular design of the ONE Aluminium Tripod can adapt to suit hybrid creators’ needs without switching between different tripods. The ergonomic design, and clever features make it a highly versatile platform for anyone from a solo hybrid creator to production team members.
