## Description

Product Description The new 055 aluminium 3-section tripod is also available as a kit with the MHXPRO-3W X-PRO 3-Way Head with quick release camera plate. Key Features: The key feature of the 055XPRO3 is its 90i 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. The legs of the 055XPRO3 tripod are also fast to extend and adjust, thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers that block and unblock each leg section. The special design of the QPL levers allows a more comfortable single-handed opening of all leg sections in one action. QPL's lever design also offers more powerful locking of each section, meaning the tripod is more stable and rigid than with traditional lever designs. Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently and solidly set to any of the preset angles, again allowing considerable positioning freedom. A bubble level is built in to the top of the centre column for precise framing. The bubble level rotates freely around the centre column, so it can be positioned wherever it's easiest for you to see it while adjusting the tripod, and without it either being obscured by the mounted head and camera, or getting in the way of head or camera controls. The top casting of the 055XPRO3 has an Easy Link connector for supporting a photo or video accessory (such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other piece of equipment) on an extending arm or bracket, and making the tripod into a practical mobile studio.The X-PRO 3-Way Head has retractable levers which make it ultra-compact, and also features new friction controls on the portrait and tilt axes, to 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 the shot is ready.

Review: You'll be so happy my precious ! - Unless you are going hiking up a mountain or along an un-mapped river source this is has got to be the best tripod investment you will ever make. It is very solid , a good weight enough to shout "pah" at all but the most destructive winds.. in that case you would be hands on equipment . An easy carry for a couple of hundred meters at least. Every click and lock and lever, slide leg, dial, or turn screw is engineered to such precision that you will just smile at its quality. The horizontal beam system is just a joy to lock and unlock . Before buying it I had some reservations about the legs not being braced by a tri-bar but the click locking mechanism in full , mid and virtual flat positions dispelled any concern at the very first try and the leg slide locks are easy , solid , and will not let you down if a plumb weight makes you feel happy. There is a catch hook at the brace position as opposed to a hook at the base of the vertical rise tube which is locked by a comfortable and solid turn knob. My choice was the flat base head fixing rather than the half cup because it is easier to add a ball head from many makers than to need a flat base adaptor. . I registered ownership with the Manfrotto website including the bar coding and received a 10 year warranty. This only applies to the original owner and by registered agent sellers also, desertcart are a registered seller agent..Most photographic equipment insurers accept Manfrotto as a "Replace with New" maker should there be an accidental loss/damage to equipment or freight/baggage loss if ever !!! . My Lumix GH5 is in safe legs!
Review: Solid good quality tripod, excellent value. - I have owned several budget tripods which have been OK but have eventually let me down, most just seem to become progressively more rattly and struggle with heavy lenses. After a lot of consideration and looking I went for this tripod over the 4 section CF version from Manfrotto and other manufactures because I remain unconvinced that the CF tripods are any more rigid and the weight saving Vs price doesn't stack up. I use this with two different heads, a Camulet Heavy Ball head and a Skywatcher Star Adventurer tracking mount. Even loaded up with a Canon EOS60D and Sigma 150-600mm OS DG Contemporary lens and in both instances it holds up well for long exposure images and is rigid enough for Astro photographs up to about 300mm focal length when fully extended, beyond this I use an actual telescope and Goto mount because the Star Adventurer isn't up to much more. Obviously it is even more stable (less susceptible to wind and the resulting star trailing) when used with only one leg section extended. As for weight, there is not a great deal of difference between this model and the CF version, I have heavier lenses, so I have not found this to be an issue although to be fair if I'm out walking all day with the camera I will either have the Manfrotto Compact advanced tripod if not using the telephoto or a Monopod if out birding with the big telephoto. In short I wish I'd bought a tripod of this quality many years ago instead of messing aground with and throwing out the budget tripods I have used up to this point.

## Features

- QPL's (Quick Power Levers) design also offers more powerful locking of each section, meaning the tripod is more stable and rigid than with traditional lever designs.
- A bubble level is built in to the top of the centre column for precise framing.
- The everlasting ergonomic design ensures extraordinary ease of use.
- The legs of the 055XPRO3 tripod are also fast to extend and adjust, thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers that block and unblock each leg section.
- The top casting of the 055XPRO3 has an Easy Link connector for supporting a photo or video accessory.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which manfrotto case would fit best to manfrotto mt055xpro3 with the mhxpro 3-w head ?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very impressed superb upgrade
*by M***N on 28 July 2014*

I've had the classic Manfrotto XPRO190B legs for the last 4 years and they were showing their age, lots of dunkings in sea and fresh water have taken their toll. I had a few criteria when looking at buying a new tripod, slightly lighter legs ( I'm not getting any younger! ), needed something a little taller as the 190's where always just a little too short and a little more stability. I got two of those sorted. It's absolutely rock solid, the second you to set it up out of the box, you can see the effort that's gone into the design and feel how rock solid it is. Despite its light weight feel it masks serious stability. With the legs full out and the centre column down the viewfinder is roughly at around 5' 11", raising the column gives you something like about another 12-18 inches! More than adequate for most average size people. Once I'd have loaded my 410 gear head and my L-bracket the weight more or less came back to where it was, not overly bothered by that as the frame is a lot larger and as you rest it on your shoulder for carrying it feels comfortable. I've not had a chance to test it out in cold weather but I have noticed that the legs don't feel anywhere near as cold as the 190's so hopefully when Winter comes around that's when I should get the benefit. I am extremely pleased with it and highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking of stepping up to carbon legs.
