Product Description

MDeVe 745B Aluminum Video Tripod The 745B is specifically geared towards the on-the-go videographer looking for a simple, straightforward, and affordable tripod without sacrificing the key virtue of stability. With a maximum load capacity just over 15 lbs, the new Bogen 745B video tripod is designed to handle payloads commonly associated with Mini DV or DVCAM. The 745B differs from its 754, 755B and 756B counterparts by utilizing an integrated 50mm leveling ball instead of a center column. This allows for quick set up with 15deg. of leveling capability, and contributes to making the 745B ideal for travel, weight, and compactness. In addition, for applications that demand low-angle shooting, the 745B has a minimum working height of only 8.6 with all three legs opened to a full 90deg..

This review is from: Bogen / Manfrotto 745B MDeVe 50mm Half Ball Aluminum Tripod (Electronics)

I shoot my projects all by myself without an assistant.This tri-pod works perfect for me as I have to carry and set it up by myself without any help. It's light weight, professional and perfect for my Sony Z7U and CANON XL-1s. A perfect companion in my wild ventures.
