MF 475 Digital Pro Geared Tripod
Digital photography requires camera support systems that are more stable and versatile than ever. Manfrotto geared tripods have always been the first choice of the professional photographer, whether in the studio or on location, for their medium and large format cameras.
All aluminium construction and unrivalled in stability, the 475 Pro Geared Tripod incorporates a unique centre brace strut system, reliable quick-action leg locks, non-rollback three faceted centre 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 475 is no exception. Designed by incorporating the best features of the 074 and 075 tripods, the 475 has added two important features. The new centre 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 centre 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 475 incorporates the new Quick Action leg locks. These locks have an amazingly quick and secure locking range. All it takes is a 45 flip of the lever to lock and unlock each section.

Every telescopic arm that forms the central bracing system of the tripod is provided with two click-stop positions for easy tripod leveling.
The 475 is fully equipped: carrying strap attachment, bubble level, a non roll-back column with the original Manfrotto three faceted tube design and ultra secure locking knob. The crank handle on the geared column can also be folded away for transport.
Fast tripod set-up and independent leg control for leveling.
