Manfrotto 117B Video Tripod - Black

The maximum height with the center column extended is 173 cm.

The Manfrotto 117B can support a maximum weight of 18 kg.

No, the Manfrotto 117B is a tripod legs system and does not include a camera head. A compatible head needs to be purchased separately.

The stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability, strength, and resistance to rust, ensuring a long lifespan for the tripod, especially in professional or outdoor environments.

The metal spikes are retractable. To use them, extend them outwards from the bottom of the leg. To retract them, push them inwards.

The telescopic mid-level spreader connects the legs at a midpoint, significantly increasing the tripod's torsional rigidity and stability, especially important for video work.

The tripod closes down to a length of 94 cm.

Check for dirt or debris in the leg locks and the extension mechanisms. Clean with a dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using lubricants unless specified by the manufacturer, as they can attract dust.

Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked. Adjust the mid-level spreader to ensure maximum rigidity. If the surface is uneven, use the adjustable feet and retractable spikes to compensate. Check that the spirit level itself is clean.

Inspect the geared mechanism for any obstructions. Gently clean any visible dust or grit. Ensure the center column is fully extended or retracted as needed before attempting to adjust.

Gently try to rotate the spike while pulling outwards. If stubborn, a small amount of penetrating oil might help, but ensure it is cleaned off thoroughly afterward to prevent damage to other parts.
