Manfrotto 3-Section Carbon Fibre Tripod for Content Creation and Professional Photography

The 055 professional tripod from Manfrotto redefines the 3-section aluminum tripod, delivering an unparalleled level of stiffness. The key feature of the MT055XPRO3 is its 90-degree column, which allows the column to be extended vertically or horizontally. The horizontal column mechanism is neatly housed within the tripod's top casting, but it can be easily and quickly extended whenever needed. Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly and can even be done with a camera attached.

The legs of the 055XPRO3 tripod are also quick to extend and adjust, thanks to the Quick Power Lock (QPL) levers. The innovative design of the QPL levers enables single-handed opening of all leg sections in one action. Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently and securely set to any of the preset angles, providing unparalleled positioning freedom. A bubble level is built into the top of the center column for precise framing, and it rotates freely around the center column so it can be positioned wherever it's most convenient to see.

The top casting of the 055XPRO3 features an Easy Link connector for supporting various photo or video accessories (such as an LED light, flash, or reflector) on an extending arm or bracket, transforming the tripod into a practical mobile studio.

In terms of technical specifications, the 055XPRO3 has a closed length of 24.02 inches, leg angles of 25°/46°/66°/88°, 3 leg sections, and leg tube diameters ranging from 1.18 to 0.89 inches. It has a load capacity of 19.84 pounds, a maximum height (with center column down) of 55.12 inches, a maximum height of 66.93 inches, and a minimum height of 3.54 inches. The tripod weighs 5.51 pounds.

The 055XPRO3 is a highly versatile and durable tripod, thanks to its lightweight and compact design, making it an excellent choice for travelers. The magnesium body ensures extreme robustness and durability. The 90-degree column allows the tripod to switch from vertical to horizontal orientation without removing the camera, providing unparalleled flexibility. The Quick Lock locking system opens the tripod legs in a single movement and controls each section, ensuring exceptional stability for your camera equipment.

The Leg Angle selector allows you to pre-select the angle of the legs, and the built-in levelling bubble can be moved to a convenient position for perfect shots. Additionally, the top section is equipped with an Easy Link connector that is compatible with various camera accessories, such as LED lights, flashes, reflectors, or an extendable arm, transforming the tripod into a versatile mobile studio.
