Awesomely fast and easy to use, the 458B has the innovative Neotec rapid opening and closing mechanism - just pull each leg downwards to open and automatically lock it in any position, with no screws, knobs or levers to tighten or loosen. Then to fold it back up again, press the mechanism release button and push the leg closed, it`s that simple!

Combined with the 458B`s high load capacity, great minimum and maximum height range, full range of professional features and speed, makes it the ideal tripod for location work under pressure. The 458B has a built-in carrying handle; a two section center column for low angle or normal shooting and four leg angle positions.

Key features include:

  • New center column design allows you to leave the head mounted on the column when switching between low angle and normal shooting.
  • Double positioning vertical and horizontal center column.
  • Four set leg angle positions for a solid footing at any height.
  • Leg lock release button for closing the tripod or shortening each leg for perfect positioning.
  • Carrying strap can be used to support a counterweight.
  • Waterproof up to 18" as the bottom leg section is sealed.

    Simply incredible!

    "I bought the NeoTec 458B as part of a package that included the 322RC2 ball grip and the quick release shoe mount. I hated using my old tripod. Each leg extension had to be released, positioned and locked. The camera was then mounted on the pan head and screw locked in place. After completing the shots, the camera had to be removed (I'd never trust carrying it on the tripod for more than a short distance.) The..." Read Full Review »

    Bogen Neotec - good for general purpose

    "The legs are not as helpful as the advertising would suggest. The legs are a little weak making these not as stable as some other more standard tripods. These are a good choice for compact carry or a back up. The biggest down side to this tripod is the extra cost for the novelty of design...." Read Full Review »

    "In outdoor photography constantly moving and needing a tripod that sets up very quickly with no hassles the 458B has proven itself.

    The speed and ease in extending the legs by simply pulling them to the length desired is the first selling point. Being able to fine tune positioning by depressing a l …"  Read Full Review »

    "I love its ease of leg extension and contraction. I move around a lot changing positions and this helps. One note of caution, the silver buttons that release the legs for contraction are held onto the tripod by two screws. During a trek last week, a screw fell out and I lost the button so it was …"  Read Full Review »
