Manfrotto 058 Tripod with 229 Head

The 058 Triaut is one of the most exciting tripods in the whole Manfrotto range, featuring patented simultaneous release of all three legs or any individual leg. This permits the legs to be extended, the tripod levelled (spirit level provided) and locked in seconds without 'fiddling' with individual leg adjustments. Telescoping the legs is achieved by activating the same release. Other important features of this very professional tripod are the ability to adjust all angles individually and secure them with Manfrotto telescopic struts. Favoured for medium format up to large. Rubber feet with retractable spiked feet are standard. Includes carryig strap. Diameter legs in mm: 30,25,20.

Key Features

• solid tripod/head plate has an industry standard 3/8" screw and three angled grub screws which stop the head from unscrewing accidentally in use and also block unwanted panoramic rotation or play between tripod and head
•  
• retractable spiked feet mean you can use this both outdoors (with the spike extended for better grip on soft terrain, moss, plants, etc) and indoors on delicate floor surfaces (with the rubber foot covering the spike to avoid damage and give more stable non-slip support)
•  
• built-in mid-level spreader adds anti-torsional rigidity and stops the tripod legs from accidentally being knocked wider apart. Compared to a ground-level spreader or dolly, the mid-level spreader has the advantage that it stays well out of the mud and dirt and is more suitable for use on uneven terrain.
•  
• The TRIAUT mechanism is the precursor of the NEOTEC and has three red levers under the tripod shoulder that release all leg locks (on all 3 legs simultaneously or on each separate leg), allowing the tripod to be opened, repositioned, levelled or closed in seconds without fiddling with individual adjustments. As soon as you let go of the levers, the legs lock in place
