Loving this tripod. Its ease to setup & short time makes it an absolute pleasure.
I mated it with the Manfrotto Hydrostatic Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System and just couldn't be happier.
I use it with a D3s.

I had reviewed several tripods, perhaps I may have overlooked a few along the way, but the locking system caught my eye. A photographers dream come true. Easy to level, and allows camera mount vertical or horizontally. Push a button, slide the legs up and you're ready to go to the next scene.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Neotec Black Tripod Legs (Height 3.9 - 61.4", Maximum Load 17.60 lbs):

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 not very easy to release the leg. Some archaeologist no doubt will find it. I called Bogen, and Maurizio sent me a replacement in one week. Great product and service. Get thyself a set of metric hex wrenches and tighthen the screws periodically.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Neotec Black Tripod Legs (Height 3.9 - 61.4", Maximum Load 17.60 lbs):

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.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Neotec Black Tripod Legs (Height 3.9 - 61.4", Maximum Load 17.60 lbs):

I have been using this tripod, with a Kirk BH-1 ballhead, for past few months now and am completely satisfied with it. It takes seconds to set up and take down, the best leg locking system I have ever seen. I take it backpacking, hiking and even use it for portrait photography. I highly recommend this tripod.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Neotec Black Tripod Legs (Height 3.9 - 61.4", Maximum Load 17.60 lbs):

This tripod with the neotec leg system is the best tripod you could ever use for hiking. It is just what I was looking for. You literally just pull the legs out to whatever length you need and they lock there. To collapse them, you just push a button and push them in. SOOO nice! No levers, or twist locks to deal with. I will NEVER go back to the old way. I hope this tripod lasts forever.
