The Neotec series has an opening and closing mechanism that enables amazingly fast set up, ideal for sport or wildlife photography.
The 458B is awesomely fast & easy to use. With the innovative Neotec rapid opening/closing mechanism just pull each leg downwards to open and automatically lock it in any position, with no screws, knobs or levers to tighten or loosen. Then to fold it back up again, press the mechanism release button and push the leg closed. Combined with the high load capacity, great min-max height range and full range of pro features, this is the ideal tripod for location work under pressure. It has a built in carrying handle, a two-section centre column for low angle or normal shooting, and four leg angle positions. 'Upside down' leg construction prevents water or mud from ending up inside the tripod. With its simple uncluttered lines, the 458B Neotec is not just a professional workhorse, practical both during transportation and in use, it’s also a sleek object of design in its own right.
