Manfrotto 055 Aluminum 3-Section Tripod Kit with Horizontal Column and 3-Way Head (MK055XPRO3-3W)

Showcase your unique photographic style and capture new perspectives. This Manfrotto 055 Aluminum 3-Section Tripod Kit features the MHXPRO-3W 3-Way head, a compact pan/tilt head with retractable levers that can be extended as needed. Two knobs control the friction for the front-to-back and side-to-side tilt, allowing you to fine tune the movements. Three leveling bubbles allow for accurate framing on all axes. It also features a sturdy aluminum tripod which has been manufactured to the highest quality standards in Italy. The professional 055 redefines the 3-section aluminum tripod, delivering an unprecedented level of stiffness.

The key feature of the MK055XPRO3-3W is its 90 column, which allows the column to be extended vertically or horizontally. 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 (QPL) levers. The special design of the QPL levers allows single-handed opening of all leg sections in one action.

Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently and solidly set to any of the preset angles, allowing positioning freedom. A bubble level is built in to the top of the center column for precise framing. The bubble level rotates freely around the center column, so it can be positioned wherever it's easiest to see. The top casting of the 055XPRO3 has an Easy Link connector for supporting 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.
