Manfrotto 455B with 141RC Head- Info?

[braxus]

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.

Capacity on the 455B is 17.6 pounds. The 141C is similar to the old 3047, and I put cameras up to 8x10 on it.

Thanks Dennis. Curious- where did you get this info from? Bogen 3030= 141RC

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.

Are you sure you didn't get specs for the 458B? I found that on my 455B search, but still didn't see info for my tripod after a search.

You are correct. I misread the "8" for a "5".

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.

Yes the 3401 is the same as the 455B. Is their specs on the 3401?

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.
