The Bogen/Manfrotto 058B Aluminum Studio Pro Triaut Tripod with 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt 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 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head is 20% lighter than its predecessors due to the use of Adapto material. It also features improved ergonomic design plus a counter spring system. Built into the forward/back tilt axis is a fixed spring that helps to absorb the shock of the full camera weight from crashing down. The spring also makes it easier to position the camera on this axis since it opposes some of the camera's weight.
