(More customer reviews)This is my first "non-consumer" tripod meant for serious photography. The manual clearly explains how to use it and I was using it in a matter of minutes. The bubble level tracking takes a little while to get used to. But how level your camera is will also depend on the ballhead you use with the tripod (I use a Manfrotto 3025 3D Junior Head). All in all, this tripod/ballhead combination seems to work out fine for my Nikon D70. When I photographed my first wedding, I noticed that the tripod's "feet" seemed to catch and drag across the carpeted floor in the church (but it might have been just that carpet). However, it sat well and solid in my hand while carrying it around with my camera on it...although I would recommend using both hands to move it lest you drop it and annoy everyone. I have not used this tripod out in the field (uneven terrain such as sand).

Product Description:
Equipment used in the present "digital era" requires a camera support system 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 black anodized aluminum construction and unrivalled in stability, the 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.
