Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can sliders be used at an angle or vertically on this tripod?

A: Sure, you can mount a slider to this tripod. You might want to consider attaching the slider to the tripod with a video head so you can set the angle you want. Just bear in mind how the total weight adds up, and that when your camera approaches the end of the slider there is quite a tipping moment.

Q: 2. Is this tripod like the old 055? Are the legs interchangeable? Thanks

A: I never has a 055. The legs on this one arent interchangeable

Q: 3. Will the flat base 502HD video head fit on this tripod? Thanks!

A: Yes, it will. It has a flat base with a 3/8 male screw. The good thing on this tripod is that you can lower it to a 16.9 height, the bad one it's weight: 9.5 lb. Too heavy to carry-on all day. Setup time in sloping terrains will take longer than a tripod with ball head.

Q: 4. How deep are the jaws on the table clamp? I see they open to 1.5" but what's the depth?

A: The depth of the clamp is 2".

Q: 5. The clamp appears to be bolted to the gearbox which then drives the column. Do you know what thread size the gearbox is tapped to? So i can remove it from the clamp and remount it.

A: You would have to contact Manfrotto for that information, their number is (201) 818-9500 480-940-1103 repairs

Q: 6. Will a DSLR attach to this mount?

A: No, it will not. This tripod has a 3/8"-16 mount, meant for tripod heads rather than for cameras to be mounted directly. We'd recommend an equally heavy-duty tripod head to take full advantage of the Manfrotto Pro Geared 475B tripod's incredible sturdiness. https://bhpho.to/3s72fWO https://bhpho.to/3pJ0V9O

Q: 7. What is the stud size on top of the column? Also, the pictures appear to show a stud sticking out from the bottom of the column. Is this correct, and what size is it? Thanks

A: The top base plate has a male 3/8" and a set of grub screws for securing a Manfrotto pan/tilt or ball head there. The bottom of the column has a loop by which you can attach a counterweight.

Q: 8. Is the Oben - BC-139 Ball Head compatible with the Manfrotto tripod line? Specifically will it work with the 057 Carbon Fiber tripod?

A: Yes, the Manfrotto 057 Carbon Fiber Tripod can accept an Oben BC139 as well as other tripod heads.

Q: 9. Is there a nut with a ring that can be purchased in order to hang sand bag from the center?

Q: 10. Will this tripod work with the Oben GH-50 Gimbal Head?

A: Yes. I use a Wimberley WH200 that is very similar. The tripod is very strong and stable.
