	The Manfrotto model 3263 tripod head has proven to work well on any tripod for 4x5 and 8x10 cameras. Gitzo camera on a tripod While I was photographing in Munich several years ago, about every two weeks I visited the various professional camera stores to check out what new products were available. Someone showed me the Manfrotto head which had just been announced. I got the first one that was sold in Munich. This particular Manfrotto head was so ideal that I immediately bought another one, even though they cost more than most entire cameras. This practical tripod head is the Manfrotto model 3263, also named the Bogen (the U.S. distributor for Manfrotto). You can use a Manfrotto head on any tripod, I use them on Ries tripods or Gitzo tripods. The pictures here both show a Gitzo tripod. Gitzo's, being metal, survive tons of rough travel through the jungle. Gitzo camera tripod If Manfrotto tripods are as good as their light stands and tripod heads, these would be worth trying out. Manfrotto is the mother company back in Italy; Bogen is their distributor in the USA. I have seen Bogen/Manfrotto tripods that looked nice and stable but do not have hands-on experience with any of them. I believe it was a Bogen tripod that Michael Collette uses (Better Light) and thus the tripod that took the first rollout of a Maya vase in digital format (along with a Gitzo--the setup requires two tripods, one for the camera, another for the camera). All the tripods for training students in the photography program at Brevard Community College are Bogen tripods. The FLAAR photography team goes all over the world, from Australia to Zurich. Camera equipment has to be tough to keep up with our crews. The Manfrotto head is built to last. Bogen Imaging Inc., info@bogenimaging.com or Phone: 201-818-9500, Fax: 201-818-9177.
