I currently own this tripod and head combo. The 455 is similar to the 055. Anyway can anyone give me the specs on what the maximum weight the pieces are rated to take? I cant find info anywhere on it.
Just did a Google search with - "Manfrotto 455B specs" as the search criterion.
The Manfrotto web site isn't always the most friendly when it comes to obsolete models. But a lot of data has been transcribed to various "FAQ" articles.
Is the 455B similar to the Bogen 3401? It looks like, from Manfrotto's spare parts site, that the 455B = 3401. It looks like the 455B can mount the column horizontally.
3401= The working height is 6.75" (with column in the horizontal position) to 67.5" with a load capacity of 13.2 lbs. The folded length is 26.5" and it weighs 6 lbs.
