I have the 300 DX pro, which is quite similar to the 400Dx.
There is an optional short centerpost, which I purchased, and
the centerpost is reversible.
I consider the 300 to be a much better tripod than the Bogen 3001,
which I've also used. I currently own a 3021, but use the Slik
much more
Oh, one thing I forgot: the 300/400 locks the centerpost with
TWO adjustments, making post extension much more secure.
My 3021 is very bouncy with even an inch of extension.

Humm. Nether of your two post's made it to my inbox, so i cut this from the
archives.
Thanks for the info Lon.
I wonder if i have an older brouchere, as i only see one lock on the 300. I
wonder if the 700 has it to.
Thats good to know anyway. I might go with the 700 and not have to worry

Dave, the 300 does have a double lock. Trust me on this.
It has a thick set of shoulders, much like some of the older Bogens.
The lock you're not seeing is a screw in-line with the center post.
And Bogen 3-D heads will let you get down and dirty with reversed
centerposts. I own the Bogen 3028,
Thanks
Dave

Ken, this is a truism. But if the lens is short enough and the tripod
with post extension is good enough, I do it without thinking twice.
Mind you, once I have even a K135 f2.5 on the pod, I tend to go into
big glass mode. But heck, an M50 f1.4? Yeah, extend if you want to.

Then you'll probably end up with an image that is good enough.
YMMV

And probably 95% of the time I can shoot most short lenses (200mm) off the
tripod (in reasonable light of course) and achieve
Just pondering over the Slik Pro 700DX or the 400Dx models. They both
have adjustable multi position legs and spread out quite close to the
ground. Also removable centre column.
Any one with experience with either model or the Pro series over all.
Also what do you need extra if you reverse
I've been eyeing those two tripods as well. They seem to have received
pretty favourable reviews on photo.net. See the following threads:
