SLIK Pro 400 DX Tripod with SH-705E Pan/Tilt ... Overview

This SLIK Pro 400 DX Tripod with SH-705E 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head supports up to 11.0 lb, measures 25.6" when folded, and includes a quick release plate. Each of its 3-section legs features an independent spread, a 3-position angle lock, and flip locks for fast deployment. The included push-and-pull, rapid center column is multi-sectional, which allows it to be converted to a shortened center column. This feature permits a minimum height of 20.0" or 12.5" when the center column is shortened. The SLIK Pro 400 DX Tripod provides a maximum height of 50.0", 53.5" with its center column shortened as well as fully raised, and 61.0" with the complete column fully raised.

Cameras, sport optics, or camcorders that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the quick release plate, which is secured to the tripod's pan-and-tilt head using a quick release cam lock. The head can be rotated 360°, and tilted 90° backwards or forwards, as well as sideways for portrait orientation. Each of these three movements function independently of each other and can be locked into place.

For added versatility, the center column is reversible, facilitating low-angle photography where an attached camera is positioned among the tripod's legs instead of above them. Foam covers on each of the legs provide a secure and comfortable grip while moving the tripod, and rubber feet help to enhance stability on a wide variety of surfaces.

I needed a new tripod for my new Nikon DSLR to upgrade from my older Slik u212 (after 45 years of use & abuse) and I am quite pleased. It is stable and lightweight.

Can the SH-705E head be removed & replaced with a ball head, etc.?
Asked by: Bill
Yes you can remove the head from Slik Pro 400 DX Tripod with SH-705E 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head and add a different one. The main thing to look for is a head that has a 1/4" screw opening in the bottom. Most are 3/8" and with those you will need this bushing adapter to fit it them. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/769749-REG/Oben_OB_1039_3_8_16_to_1_4_20_Reducer.html

question

can you use a spigot with the 400dx?
Asked by: Anonymous
I believe you are referring to the use of a stud on the tripod like this, http://bhpho.to/1EnkohZ.If that is correct it will work. But a thread which the heads quick release has is not much to grab on to and I do not recommend it.
