Manfrotto 714SHB Digi

The most compact tripod in the Manfrotto range, the 714SHB was designed for the new compact digital and conventional point and shoot cameras, and is an ideal travel companion, measuring only 35cm (13.8 in) when folded. This incredibly compact size was achieved with two engineering breakthroughs. The leg pivot was re-designed with a unique single hinge allowing the leg to fold shorter than conventional designs. An integral ball head is recessed into the main shoulder casting for transport. The compact ball head also 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. This four section tripod incorporates faceted tubular legs for extra torsional rigidity and quick flip leg locks for ease and quickness of set-up. The 714SHB comes complete with a carrying bag with twin shoulder straps for backpack style carrying.
