MANFROTTO 161MK2B STUDIO SUPER PRO TRIPOD

Manfrotto 161MK2B Super Professional Tripod Mk2

The Professional tripod Mk2 from Manfrotto 161MK2B is one of the highest of the Manfrotto line of tripods and is capable of supporting cameras up to 44 lb, at a height of 105.1 ". It Is the ideal large format tripod for home and studio use.
The Central column of the 161MK2 is oriented for easy and precise adjustment. This Tripod can easily handle a 8x10 camera even in full height and in precarious angles.
The built-in intermediate spreader adds anti-torsion stiffness and prevents the tripod legs from being accidentally separated. Compared to a ground level spreader or a rolling platform, the mid-level spreader has the advantage of remaining out of the mud and dirt and is best suited for use on uneven terrain.
The Adaptive Center column allows for safe and accurate height adjustments.
The three fixing screws on the camera's platform can be used to permanently secure the head to the tripod, providing additional safety.
The swivel locks are a little slower to use than the more common "quick action" swivel leg latches, but provide complete control over the locking force. Besides, they're much easier to keep in the field.
