Manfrotto 055 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod, Bundle with 502 Pro Video Head

For professional photographers and videographers seeking top-tier stability and versatility, the Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber 3-Section Tripod with Horizontal Column is an exceptional choice. Engineered from the lightest yet most rigid materials, this tripod is a testament to superior craftsmanship, designed for those who demand the best and require easy portability. Constructed from 100% carbon fiber tubes and magnesium castings, this tripod offers unparalleled rigidity, absorbing vibrations to stabilize your camera equipment under any conditions. The use of carbon fiber and magnesium significantly reduces the weight compared to its aluminum counterparts, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go shoots.

One of the standout features of the 055CXPRO3 is its 90-degree center column mechanism. This allows the column to extend vertically or horizontally, opening up a myriad of framing and shooting possibilities. This feature, coupled with the Quick Power Lock (QPL) levers for rapid leg section extension and adjustment, makes the 055CXPRO3 an incredibly versatile tripod, suitable for diverse photography and video applications. The horizontal column mechanism is cleverly housed within the tripod's top casting for compactness, and can be quickly extended as needed. The transition between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly and can even be performed with a camera attached.

Each leg of the 055CXPRO3 tripod can be independently set to any of the preset angles, thanks to intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors. This allows for significant positioning freedom, ensuring you capture the perfect shot every time. For precise framing, a bubble level is integrated into the top of the center column. This bubble level can rotate freely around the center column, allowing for easy visibility while adjusting the tripod, without obstructing the mounted head and camera or interfering with controls. The top casting of the 055CXPRO3 also features an Easy Link connector, enabling the attachment of a photo or video accessory such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other equipment.

This transforms the tripod into a practical mobile studio, further enhancing its versatility and utility. With the Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber 3-Section Tripod, you're not just investing in a tripod, but a comprehensive solution for your photography and videography needs.
