Sturdy and stable, the Manfrotto 475B tripod is made of aluminum with a geared center column that allows you to make exact height adjustments while preventing the tripod from accidentally losing height. The legs feature quick release flip lever locks that, combined with the tripod's anti-rotation leg sections, make opening, closing, and positioning the legs a cinch. A mobile junction ring allows you to lock the legs into position to either make the tripod more stable or make its footprint smaller, while a mid-level spreader keeps the legs from accidentally being knocked out of position. Whether you are taking still shots or video, the Manfrotto 475B tripod helps to keep your camera steady for crisp, clear pictures.
