I have the 410, the Junior model and Manfrotto's smallest gear head. I love it.


You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

I have the 475 and I just love it. I also have an 055 but found it to light for long lens shooting. The 475 is heavier but with a Wimberely head, 8 lbs. of lens and 4 lbs. of camera the 475 is very solid.
But it is a lot of tripod so it comes down to what you plan on doing with it.
