Correction – tripod ‘head’ talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve used MANFROTTO<\/strong> tripods for some time now – I have two, a large 055<\/strong> series model and a smaller carbon fibre 190<\/strong> series. The base is obviously very important, but the head is just as important in my view too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came across a Manfrotto 405<\/strong> model a few years back and this is almost perfect for what I need.<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s sufficiently sturdy to hold pretty much anything I put on it, and the three adjusting knobs allow the plateau to be moved very precisely in any direction. This is 16cm high and lives on my larger 055<\/strong> tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also have a series of regular ball heads, and up until recently I found these were perfectly ok, but with the serious disadvantage (to me) of not being as precise to regulate. I use one of these on the lighter 190 series tripod, another on the monopod, and still another on the Platypod (when will it end?)<\/p>\n\n\n

So I’ve been looking around on the WEB and I’ve come across a site (German) called MPB which buys and sells photographic equipment. Lo and behold they had a couple of Manfrotto 410<\/strong>, the smaller brother of the large 405<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

This is essentially the same as the 405<\/strong> but in a smaller build – it’s 13cm high, the knobs have the same functions, and there is the same 410-PL<\/strong> mounting plate which means I can interchange the SMALLRIG quick-release adapteur I’ve mounted on the other head, with this one, just by changing the plate over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
