Manfrotto 055XPRO3 3-section Aluminium Tripod + XPRO 3-Way Head

The new stylish and durable Manfrotto 055 range guarantees camera stability more than ever before. The Quick Power Lock increases power in the leg locks, giving the tripod extra payload capacity which outperforms its predecessor. The new 055 can support an outstanding amount of gear: in any position, a maximum load of 9kg is guaranteed. The tripod is 50% more rigid than its precedessor. Centre ColumnThe key feature of the 055XPRO3 is its 90° centre column mechanism, which allows the column to be extended vertically as normal, or horizontally to open up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities; this makes the 055XPRO3 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide range of photography and video applications. The horizontal column mechanism is housed within the tripod's top casting for compactness, but it is easily and quickly extended whenever you need it. Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly, and can even be done with a camera attached. Set-up Speed and Ease of Use Higher locking power doesn’t bring a compromise on ergonomics: QPL’s single-hand opening mechanism enables quicker, more comfortable set-up.The bubble level also rotates 360° so it’s always in the best position for the user, without ever falling inconveniently under a head locking lever. Unlimited Versatility and Creativity The new horizontal column mechanism combined with the 4 leg angles allows the new 055 to smoothly reach whatever camera position you have in mind, always maintaining the safety and stability of your gear.The Easy Link attachment converts the new 055 into a portable photography studio. By simply attaching an arm with an LED light, a reflector, or any other accessory, the new 055 goes beyond the boundaries of classic tripod functionalities.XPRO 3-Way HeadThe compact closed size that makes the X-PRO so easy to pack and carry is down to its retractable levers that can be extended when needed. With the levers retracted and folded for transport, the space occupied by the head is only 13cm x 13.5cm x 13.5cm. Friction controls on the X-PRO 3-Way Head’s tilt and portrait axes help balance the weight of camera equipment so that fine framing adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open, only locking everything down once everything’s ready. And with 3 leveling bubbles on the head, composition can be levelled precisely in-camera, reducing post production work. Sturdily built with a rugged aluminium body for reliability and durability, the X-PRO supports up to 8 kg , but weighs only 1 kg.
