I recently purchased this tripod for the Video Ministry at my church. This is actually the 2nd Manfrotto 475 I've bought for the VM, the 1st was about 4 years ago. Because I was so impressed with the design & stability of the original one under any filming condition, when it came time to buy a 2nd tripod there was no question what I wanted! I would buy this model again & again!

Solid, heavy construction. Not a tripod you'd want to have to lug any great distance, but fantastic when you need the stability.

Mostly for field use, static shots. Have the 222 Joystick Head mounted so that takes care of leveling, rather than having to mess around with the leg length.

And the anti-slip feature of the center column crank is a splendid feature.

I use this tripod with the Manfrotto 229 head. It is perfect for my 8x10 Large Format Camera weighing about 17lbs. The tripod legs are sturdy and provide great support. I've used it in windy conditions had no problems, tripod is working well.

I bought a 3035 back in 1983 and it lasted me until this year when i couldn't replace a part that had broke. This is nearly a direct replacement with a few added goodies. It's an absolute workhorse in the studio (along with a studio stand) and can hold the most gear such as a toyo 4x5 with a phase one back and assesories. It's height range is a huge plus. This thing is worth every penny- an i'm quite confident i won't have to replace it any time in the next 20 years!

This a great tripod though a little pricey...but worth it. This thing could hold up a car! It has very nice and precise adjustments.

I use 475B Tripod legs and 5HDV fluid head with my Sony EX1R and Canon 5D Mark II for shooting weddings and events. Strong construction and very stable tripod. A little bit heavy but that's OK. It is a great quality product for the money. If you need good stability them buy one for your self. I am very happy with it.

We got this tripod to replace an old Bogen 3038 we often borrow from anther department when we need something sturdy for our large format camera. The 475B is at least as sturdy, lighter, folds more compactly and extends much taller. It worked great with our large format camera without a wobble. We are using it with a Manfrotto 501HDV pro fluid video head, which is also superb for this application and should work well when we get the chance to use it for video.

I bought the 475B tripod legs as a platform for a pano head. The 475B legs are big and heavy, but are quite stable, even when it is windy out.

This is a big, heavy tripod, perfect for mounting big, heavy cameras. I had one for many years, stupidly sold it, and have regretted it since. Will probably buy another in the next year. I've used mine with cameras up to and including big 8x10" view cameras and it was never anything but super stable, adjustable as ever I needed, and easy to use. I cannot say enough good things about it, really, and to top it all off, for the price it also represents an excellent value.

Used with Winberley Gimbal-type head. Very stable and easy to adjust. I like the geared center column to make final height adjustments. Bubble level on the column neck is convenient.

I bought this tripod to use with my Linhof Technika 4x5 after finding that my Manfrotto 190XDB was not quite stable enough. It's very solid and precise. The camera remains steady while I'm loading and unloading the film holders. The geared column is precise but slow, but of course large format sooting is slow anyway. This would be good for medium format too, probably more than you need. I'm using a geared head with this which adds to the precision of movement and stability.

I use this tripod combined with a Manfrotto leveling base for doing panoramic photography. The heavy sturdy construction makes for rock solid support.

Very solid and good build quality, and the price is just right.

Using it with my Mamiya RB67

The only reason I'm not giving this top-rating is that the adjustment for the legs are made of some kind of plastic. If something should happen I think Manfrotto also sells these as spare parts!

The product looks sturdy and well made. However it did not come with an adapter that wouls allow cameras with different bases to attach to it. I purchased this product to hold a Gigapan system and I have to get an adapter to hold it. What a pain.
