Manfrotto 400 Geared Head

The Manfrotto geared heads are the most precise heads on the market. They use a tooth and cog mechanism on each axis of rotation to allow extra-fine control over framing adjustment. Because they don't require locking off or unlocking between movements, they are especially convenient and secure supports for use with heavy photographic equipment. They are the best option when maximum precision is required, for example when correcting the perspective in architectural shooting or studio still-life photography.

The 400 is a unique head which offers precise geared movement in three directions: fold away rotating handles for pan and tilt, and side to side levelling by a separate handle. In addition, the tension holding the round quick release plate can be released to allow fine adjustment with complete safety. Designed to mount on either studio column stands or larger tripods, this geared head for medium and large format cameras provides the ultimate in fine adjustment and control to achieve the exact framing required. Three 1/4” screws for camera attachment included.
