SOLID SPIDER Made of magnesium, designed for great stability in all sorts of shooting terrain with minimum bulk. The Easy Link connection has a ⅜in thread that accepts accessories such as the 244 family of friction arms that can hold a LED light or a reflector.
CARBON-FIBRE LEGSWITHM-LOCKS Manfrotto’s quality carbon fibre keeps
weight down to a minimum and the smooth finish means legs glide up and down without any stickiness. Comfortable to grip in cold temperatures, it looks very smart too. Legs lock and unlock with a quick, firm twist and give impressive rigidity when fully extended.
496 CENTRE BALL HEAD Unlock the head and you can quickly and intuitively adjust camera position, and a twist of the locking knob holds the camera firmly in place. The large locking knob, which is large enough for use with gloved hands, with its integral friction control means you can personalise the head’s resistance to your tastes or to the shooting situation. It is also quick to adjust from horizontal to vertical shooting.
SIDE PULL SELECTOR Lock the legs in three positions – normal, at 45° and at 90°.
PORTABILITY Legs fold back over the centre column for an impressive folded length of just 43cm.
