HEAD:
Designed especially for 35mm and medium format camera shooters who need both speed & precision, theManfrotto 405 is a great three-way head with bubble levels easily seen in two axes no matter the orientation of the camera. Meaty rubberised knobs can either completely disengage the gear mechanism for a quick rough estimate of position or offer the finest exacting placement for even a macro shot. Cranks allow 360 degrees pans and +90 to -30 degrees of frontal or lateral tilt.
LEG:
The Manfrotto 058B Aluminum Studio Pro Triaut Tripod Legs is a professional tripod ideal for use with medium format and 4x5" cameras. It features an automatic leg release system which allows for simultaneous or individual release of the leg sections. This system permits the legs to be extended and the tripod leveled (bubble level included) and locked in seconds without the need for individual leg adjustments. Telescoping the legs is achieved by activating the same release.
Replacement for old part number 3251 (3051).
· The built-in mid-level spreader adds anti-torsional rigidity and stops the tripod legs from accidentally being knocked wider apart. Compared to a ground-level spreader or dolly, the mid-level spreader has the advantage that it stays well out of the mud and dirt and is more suitable for use on uneven terrain.
· The geared center column has a non-roll back feature and allows for safe and precise height adjustments.
· The three set screws in the camera platform can be used to permanently secure the head to the tripod, providing additional security.
· Its fold away handle avoids damage during transport.
