Product Description

From the Manufacturer

All black anodized aluminum construction and unrivalled in stability, the Bogen-Manfrotto 475B Pro Geared Tripod incorporates a unique center brace strut system, reliable quick-action leg locks, non-rollback three faceted center column, spirit level and rubber/metal spiked feet.

Manfrotto has always been concerned with the balance between minimum and maximum height, tripod weight, and load capacity. The 475B is no exception. Designed by incorporating the best features of the 3033 and 3036 tripods, the 475B has added two important features. The center brace system can be operated in a symmetric or asymmetric way. This allows the best of both worlds: speed by locking the braces so that all of the legs will be spread to the same angle, or by individually setting the angle of each leg for the ultimate in tripod positioning.

To avoid annoying delays in leveling the tripod, the telescopic center braces have been designed with two "click stop" positions that allow you to easily find the same spread angle on all three legs. The second improvement has been made to the leg locking system. The 475B incorporates the Quick Action leg locks. These locks have an amazingly quick and secure locking range. All it takes is a 45-degree flip of the lever to lock and unlock each section.

Features include:

  • Solid tripod/head plate has an industry standard 3/8-inch screw and three angled grub screws which stop the head from unscrewing accidentally in use and also block unwanted panoramic rotation or play between tripod and head
  • Geared center column allows safe, precise height adjustment even under heavy loads
  • Built-in, carefully hand-set bubble spirit level helps make sure your horizons really are horizontal
  • Lockable, mobile spreader-to-column junction ring lets the tripod legs be set at various angles to either increase stability or reduce footprint
  • Built-in mid-level spreader adds anti-torsional rigidity and stops the tripod legs from accidentally being knocked wider apart. Compared to a ground-level spreader or dolly, the mid-level spreader has the advantage that it stays well out of the mud and dirt and is more suitable for use on uneven terrain.
  • Foldaway handle avoids damage in transport
  • Anti-rotation tubing and leg collars make for a tripod that's easier and faster to open, position and close. Manfrotto uses several different types of anti-rotation system -- on Magfiber and Digi series tripods, the elliptical or three-faceted shape of the concentric tubes means they cannot rotate, while on round-tubed tripods small protrusions down the length of the tube keep sections perfectly aligned with totally free, independent leg angles the tripod can be positioned to precisely the height and spread you need.

Customers are satisfied with the quality of the camera tripod. They mention that it is a very solid tripod, super stable, and has great construction. The tripod is stout, tight, heavy, and stays where you lock it. It is an excellent tripod with firm base that seems to hold pretty well. It's great for use with heavy cameras that have a 3/8" mounting point, and is sturdy for time-lapse photography.

Super solid, bulletproof tripod for studio / stationary work

Super solid, bulletproof tripod for studio / stationary work
I had a specific use in mind for this, though it’s great all around.As you can see, I have a 48” GVM motorized slide as well as a glide gear teleprompter / mount with a Canon XA-11. Not a heavy camera, but definitely has some pull on it w/ the XLRs plugged in. Anyway, I was told no tripod would manage the 48” effectively. It failed miserably on a cheap drag head tripod, but I was determined. I heard the Globetrotter mentioned, but I didn’t want to spend $150+ and not have success, and I believe that was a bowl-mount when the drag head (Or ball mount, depending) was removed. Either way, it wasn’t seeming quite solid enough, given the leverage, I don’t know the physics exactly but at 24” 5 lbs is easily exerting more than that force wise. I stumbled upon this, and once I got over the price tag, I dug it.It in fact handles the slide just fine, no wobble whatsoever even at the far end. I’m keeping it at about its thinnest, it only gets more stable at the wider setting. Technically there’s only two holes that set the distance of the bar determining each leg’s angle, although you can screw it tight anywhere and it seems to hold pretty well, say if you absolutely had to pull it in a bit. Generally I think most will use the first hole (it has a ball bearing type pop out catch) most of the time, while the lower setting is great for very low shots.Since you can put any head on it, it’s easier enough to fit to your needs. To be honest, I don’t see any reason to spend $130 on a manfrotto drag head, just get a generic of whatever type you need unless your equipment is that heavy, that expensive or you’re just aiming for the best of everything. Nothing wrong with Manfrotto heads, just extra big expenses you can avoid if you want. Unless you’re doing a slider mainly like me (Which I do recommend, it’s great), you do want to make sure you have some sort of head, or else you’ll br very limited in your adjustments.The crank part is great for fine tuning height, so much easier than twist locks or others that you have to pull. Very very somid and smooth. That’s generally true of it though.Leg extenders slide easily and lock well, nice and solid and even. The footprint isn’t tiny but that’s not the goal of this tripod. Bubble level helps confirm its set wellSIt is heavy, no doubt, but certainly not intended to be carried around. That said, I can still pick it up with one hand easily, if the specs aren’t accurate it’s certainly no more than 10 lbs.Overall, happy with it, I have the feeling I’ll still be using this thing in 15-20 years.
