Professional Geared Head for Medium Format

The Manfrotto 405 Pro Digital Geared Head supports payloads up to 16.5 lbs. It provides smooth geared control via large knobs for 360-degree panning and a tilt range of +90 degrees to -30 degrees in both frontal and lateral directions. A supplied quick-release plate enables fast camera mounting.

Photographers Requiring Precise Composition Control

This head suits professionals who need exact framing adjustments for architectural, studio or macro work. The instant gear disengagement allows rough positioning by hand before re-engaging for final alignment. Buyers needing a lightweight head for travel or rapid handheld shooting should look at a ball head instead.

16.5 lb Payload Capacity with Geared Movement

The 16.5 lb capacity determines which camera and lens combinations can be mounted securely. The geared mechanism delivers repeatable micro-adjustments that a friction head cannot match. Verify your total kit weight stays within this limit before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 405 Pro Digital Geared Head draw when used all day?

The head is entirely mechanical with no motor or electronics, so it consumes no electrical power during operation.

What tripod thread does the 405 head need to mount securely?

The head mounts on a standard 3/8-inch tripod thread; the camera plate uses a 1/4-inch screw.

Will the RC4 plate on the 405 head work with my older Manfrotto quick-release clamps?

The RC4 plate is specific to this head and is not compatible with earlier Manfrotto RC2 or RC5 clamps.
