Manfrotto Neotec 458b Tripod & 496 RC Ballhead + Carry Bag
Manfrotto Neotec 458B Tripod & Manfrotto 496 RC2 Head RRP £500 This is my tripod that I used mostly for weddings. Absolutely unreal how fast this can be set up and then put away, which is crucial when time is limited at weddings. Extremely versatile, and sturdy. I used a Canon 5D mk3 with a 200mm lens and it was rock solid. The ball head is extremely strong and again with the above camera & lens combination, it was rock solid. This would make a brilliant landscape tripod and comes with the carry strap plus the bag to make transportation a breeze. The bag is padded to give the tripod a bit of protection when transporting. The price includes postage Closed length 64 cm (without the ball head) Max height 131 cm (without extension or ball head) Max height 167 cm (with centre column & ball head) Min height 10cm Max load 8kg Tripod weight is 2.4kg The fastest tripod in the world! Awesomely fast and easy to use, the 458B has the innovative Neotec rapid opening and closing mechanism – just pull each leg downwards to open and automatically lock it in any position, with no screws, knobs or levers to tighten or loosen. Then to fold it back up again, press the mechanism release button and push the leg closed. Manfrotto 458B Neotec Tripod Combined with the 458B’s high load capacity, great min–max height range and its full range of professional features, this makes it the ideal tripod for location work under pressure. The 458B has a built in carrying handle; a two–section centre column for low angle or normal shooting and four set leg angle positions. “Upside down” leg construction also stops the worst of the mud you're standing in from ending up inside the tripod.
