I have also opted for the 400T, for the following additional reasons:
- It only 860 grams, so it does not weigh too my backpack
- Folded, it is only 30 cm so it went very smoothly in my backpack KATA
- Expanded, he made 86 cms: 1.73m doing, this prevents me too stoop.
- There is new ovoid feet, it reinforces rigidity, thus limiting vibrations Long exposure.
- Ball has a separate lock to adjust lazimut without affecting other settings ..
- Threaded screws to put a quick tray instead of the patella.
already having a handle on my MANFROTTO 327RC2 Benro tripod, it allowed me to implement it without any worry about the new CULLMANN 400 T.
conclusion after four days of use:
a very good tripod, super stable if we use only the first 2 slides. And stable when even with all the runners left ... but in this case it does not have to have too much wind. Thanks to the hook of the central rod, we can always add weight ... but my big backpack did not go in the middle of the tripod.
lightweight, reliable, good quality leg clamping clips anyway for the price of this tripod.
Beautiful appearance and good finishes.
a flat? .. It must be one .... I would say there is no pull-out tray.
as there is no pull-out tray, you should screw your camera systematically above .. not top!
as I wrote, I added a 327RC2 handle with retractable tray ... but everyone is not obligated to do so. Me, I do it because my equipment can reach 3 kgs ..and it has to take.
But you can simply add a basic platform with its retractable rack instead of the patella.
but in this case, you will adjust your framing and horizontality by setting your feet ..
thank you to Digit photo to send its super fast and well packaged.
