The Bogen/Manfrotto 058B Aluminum Studio Pro Triaut Tripod with 056 3-D Head 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 (spirit level included) and locked in seconds without the need for individual leg adjustments. Telescoping the legs is achieved by activating the same release.
The 056 3-D Head offers separately locked movements on three axes, which makes it perfect for SLR cameras. The conical self-adjusting bearing surfaces on the tilt pivots provide more than enough strength to support medium format cameras. Thumb screw movement locks won't poke you in the eye like conventional handles sometimes do.
