MANFROTTO TRIPOD KIT 055 CARBON 3 SECTIONS + 3 WAY HEAD MOVE MT055CXPRO3
The 3-section carbon fiber 055 tripod provides maximum rigidity with the lightest components; a masterpiece of engineering designed for photographers who want the best tripod in terms of robustness and professional features and that is also easily transportable. The 100% carbon fiber tubes and the new QPL leg section locking system increase the tripod's rigidity and absorb vibrations, stabilizing the photographic equipment in any situation. The carbon fiber tubes and magnesium alloy structures also reduce the weight of this tripod compared to the equivalent aluminum version.
The key feature of the 055CXPRO3 is its 90° central column mechanism, which allows it to be extended vertically as usual or horizontally, opening up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities; this function makes the 055CXPRO3 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide variety of photography and video applications. The mechanism for positioning the column horizontally is housed inside the tripod's top structure for a more compact size, and it extends quickly and easily when needed. The change from vertical to horizontal column does not require disassembling any parts and can be done even with the camera mounted.
The legs of the 055CXPRO3 tripod extend equally quickly, thanks to the Quick Power Lock section lever system. The special design of the QPL levers allows for a more comfortable and secure locking/unlocking action of the leg sections, even with one hand and in one motion. The QPL system design also offers a stronger lock for each section, meaning the tripod is more stable and rigid than traditional designs. The leg angle selectors are intuitive and ergonomic, allowing each leg to be adjusted independently and securely in any of the predefined angles, providing considerable positioning freedom.
A bubble level is also incorporated at the top of the central column for more precise framing. This level rotates completely freely around the central column, so it can be positioned in the easiest way to observe while adjusting the tripod, without being blocked by the head or the camera.
The top structure of the 055CXPRO3 features an Easy Link connector for easily adding photo or video accessories (such as an LED light, a flash, a reflector, or any other equipment) mounted on an extension arm or bracket, thus turning the tripod into a practical mobile studio.
