The Manfrotto 400 Deluxe Geared Head is a heavy-duty head designed primarily for use on studio column stands or larger tripods, and for use with large or medium format cameras. It offers the ultimate in precision 3-way geared adjustment and control. Self-locking foldaway cranks allow 360° panning, +30° and -90° of frontal tilt & +/- 7.5° of lateral tilt. Side to side levelling is controlled by a separated handle. The bubble level aids in precise positioning.
The availability of three different heights of quick release plates eliminates the nuisance of interference of camera standards, which is critical for use of fast wide angle lenses. In addition, the tension holding the round quick release plate can be released to allow fine adjustment with complete safety.
Replaces old part number 3263.

Comments about Manfrotto 400 Deluxe Geared Head (Quick Release) - Supports 22 lbs (10kg):
I use this head on Berlebach heavy duty and Gitzo 5530s tripods with both Sinar P2 and Linhof Kardan GTL cameras. And I feel myself much more comfortable with it than even with Linhof 77mm Levelling Pan/Tilt Head. The Manfrotto 400 Geared Head - has very smoothly movements and really easy supporting LR view cameras, as above. It's very useful for me in all kind of studio works especially I enjoy it at macro shooting. In a present time I think about buying one more Manfrotto 400.

Comments about Manfrotto 400 Deluxe Geared Head (Quick Release) - Supports 22 lbs (10kg):
I use the Manfrotto 400 geared head for our domestic cricket series in Australia, we have 4 locked off HD cameras mounted up on scaffolding with a shot of the pitch including both wickets, the shot is required to be exact as it is keyed using a graphic representation of the wickets, this is used to show if the ball continued on its path, would it have knocked down the wickets.
The geared head is fantastic allowing fine adjustment and getting the exact position on all cameras.
I now own 8 units.
I am extremely happy with this product.

Comments about Manfrotto 400 Deluxe Geared Head (Quick Release) - Supports 22 lbs (10kg):
I use this head in my laboratory to support heavy (10-15lbs.) high-speed video cameras. I need to be able to precisely point the camera at the target, and this head works like a dream. The movement about all three angular axes is very smooth, and I don't notice any backlash. The head is so solid, I imagine it could support a 25 pound camera when mounted sideways. No more loosen-move-tighten-redo-redo...you just dial in the angles you want. The action on the knobs is perfect--not too stiff, but stiff enough that there is no chance of the camera drifting. You can fold out little cranks on the knobs, but that is not really necessary. There are three sizes of "pedestal" quick-release platforms of varying height. This is nice if your camera has accessories or parts that can interfere with mounting to the head. Definitely recommend!
