The Bogen/Manfrotto 475B Pro Geared Tripod Legs with Geared Column and 460MG 3D Head is a workhorse with modernized features, in essence a much improved version of the venerable 3036. It can extend to over 6', and the geared center column cannot lose height accidentally. The 475B maintains stability at all heights, and the innovative leg braces allow for both infinite leg spread & quick setup. A spirit level and convertible rubber/spike feet are included.
The 460MG 3D Magnesium Head is cast from lightweight magnesium, and can be positioned in virtually any position to get the exact framing of the image. The lock-system, using spring-loaded conical joints, allows greater flexibility than any other 3D head - whether mounted on a tripod center column or lateral arm. It offers three separate axes of movement: panoramic rotation, front-back tilt and side tilt.
