Speed and "digital" accuracy are of utmost importance in the 405 Pro Digital Gear Head. The 405 offers ideal support with fast and precise movements for DSLR cameras as well as professional medium format digital backs.
The 405 Pro Digital Geared Head is specifically designed to meet the most demanding and time-sensitive needs of busy professional digital photographers shooting with medium format or 35mm cameras with a payload capacity of up to 7.5 Kg.
Specifications are collected from official manufacturer websites. Please verify the specifications before proceeding with your final purchase. If you notice any problem you can report it here.
I have been using the head for about 1 1/2 years and I have worked with it enough to be able to give an opinion since there is no other review.
The mechanism is VERY STABLE and with the "controls" you can quickly make PRECISION ADJUSTMENTS to level the camera. If someone searches the internet for problems, they will find quite a few, and most of them refer to the gears of the mechanism. Personally, I have not encountered any such issue, the mechanism seems very well-made and sturdy.
On the negative side:
WEIGHT and SIZE. Before someone buys the product, they should check the weight, which is considerable, as well as the size of the head, which is also large.
COST. It is probably quite high due to the complex mechanism and because it is a Manfrotto, with the pros and cons that come with it.
BUBBLE LEVEL. The central bubble level adapted to my head is slightly off. Very slightly, but you quickly learn where to have the bubble to be level.
It is a very good work tool. I may have emphasized some negatives more, but I mainly do it so that someone knows what they have to deal with regarding the quite large weight and size of the head.
