Manfrotto (Bogen Imaging) 715SHB

The 715SHB goes even a step further than the 715B! An ultra-compact tripod that can be carried in your briefcase, backpack or camera bag, traveling with you where other tripods would be left at home. The new 715SHB comes with a micro "dovetail" quick release plate.

Designed for the new compact digital and conventional point and shoot cameras, the 715SHB features a shorter center column and folded length of just under 14".

Manfrotto engineers were careful not to comprimise stability for size and weight reduction. This was achieved with two engineering breakthroughs. First, the leg pivot was re-designed with a unique single hinge allowing the leg to fold shorter than conventional designs. Secondly, an integral ballhead is recessed into the main shoulder casting for transport.

But that’s not all! This compact ballhead allows a preset but adjustable tension to be set so that all you have to do is point the camera and shoot. No more locking off handles before you take that shot! This adjustment is done with a handle found on the bottom of the column, set it for your camera and forget it, then just aim and shoot. If you want to lock it down, just turn the handle further and it will lock off the head.

The 715SHB also features quick-action leg locks for fast set-up and breakdown, and an innovative three faceted center column design prevents any column rotation. A rucksack-style bag (MBAGD) is also included.
