Ideally suited for compact 35mm SLRs or digital cameras, or the new generation of lightweight camcorders, the Manfrotto 728B is a 4-section tripod that provides a stable platform for rock steady shots. The 728B has a built-in smooth-moving 3-way head in cast aluminum suitable for use with small video cameras as well as with photographic equipment. The head has separate pan and tilt locks, a quick release camera plate and with a short pan/tilt bar for more ergonomic use, particularly while panning or tracking moving subjects.
Incorporating a traditional ball head with +90º / -90º portrait orientation grooves and single repositionable "ratchet" locking lever, the Manfrotto 724B is a four section tripod with slightly larger top casting and leg tubes than the 714 and 718 models, giving it a higher load capacity. A new and improved tripod that replaces the 724B, the Manfrotto 725B Digi Tripod comes with a micro "dovetail" quick release plate. This lightweight and compact tripod offers all the rock steady support necessary for high-quality imaging for today's digital and conventional cameras.
The Manfrotto 718SHB is an extremely compact 4-section tripod with a short folded length that will fit in your luggage with space left over. The 718SHB has a built-in hybrid video/photo 3-Way head with a "dovetail" quick release camera plate (can be locked in place one-handed), separate pan and tilt locks, and a short pan/tilt bar for more ergonomic use while panning or tracking moving subjects. Comes complete with a carrying bag with twin shoulder straps for backpack style carrying.
The Manfrotto 718B is an compact 4-section tripod with the same features as the 718SHB, but with longer leg tubes for greater extended height. The 718SHB has a built-in hybrid video/photo 3-Way head with a "dovetail" quick release camera plate (can be locked in place one-handed), separate pan and tilt locks, and a short pan/tilt bar for more ergonomic use while panning or tracking moving subjects. Comes complete with a carrying bag with twin shoulder straps for backpack style carrying.
The 715SHB is the most compact, full-sized tripod in the Manfrotto range and designed for the new compact digital and conventional point and shoot cameras. The 715SHB is a four section tripod with an integral ball head that retracts into the main shoulder casting for an even shorter folded length in transport. The built-in ball head allows you to adjust and set its friction so that it balances the weight of your camera without needing locking and unlocking between positions. Despite the reduced size, there's been no compromise of stability. A new and improved tripod that replaces the 714SHB, the Manfrotto 715SHB Digi Tripod comes with a micro "dovetail" quick release plate.
A new and improved tripod that replaces the 714B, the Manfrotto 715B Digi Tripod comes with a micro "dovetail" quick release plate. The 715B is almost identical to the 715SHB, but with longer leg tubes for greater extended height. The 715B also is a four section tripod with an integral ball head that retracts into the main shoulder casting. The leg pivot uses a unique single hinge design in aluminum which both keeps the cross section smaller and allows the leg to fold shorter than conventional tripods. The tripod is built with "D" profile tubular legs for extra torsional rigidity and quick flip leg locks for ease and speed of set-up. A quick action lever also blocks the reversible center column extension.
