Bogen - Manfrotto 718B Compact Digi Tripod with 3-Way Head & Carry Case

The 718B is a compact tripod with a built-in hybrid video/photo 3-Way head. It is similar to the 718SHB, but with longer leg sections for greater extended height.

The 718B has a "dovetail" quick release camera plate (which 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. The leg pivot system 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 locks the reversible center column extension. The 718B comes complete with a carrying bag with twin shoulder straps for backpack style carrying.
