Description

The MK055XPRO3-BHQ2 is a must-have tripod kit for passionate photographers. This Manfrotto 055 Aluminum 3-Section Tripod Kit features the XPRO ball head, which includes the 200PL plate. 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 MT055XPRO3 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.

  • Its great
Im happy. Its sturdy, its a bit heavy so you know it will be stable. It also has a hook in case you want to make it heavier if you are shooting outdoors. Its easy to use. Highly recommend it.

  • Sturdy and easy to manipulate
I use tele lenses and gimbal, so I needed something sturdy and it is ! I like the fliplocks I like the massive ball head I like the locking pad

  • All that I needed and more
I wouldn’t use it for traveling but as a studio tripod it’s excellent! Really sturdy, horizontal column just adds another dimension to your photography, simple to set up and your dslr and Lens are well supported. A definite must have.

  • A beefy tripod for a solid price
To be clear, this is not a travel tripod. It is unapologetically beefy and that is a good thing. Its legs lock with a extremely hard click, the weight of the metal construction inspires real confidence in stability, and the 90 degree center column trick is actually genuinely useful. I would recommend saving some money and going with the aluminum version because more likely than not you are not (and probably shouldn't) use this for travel. the extra weight of aluminum will actually benefit you more for the types of uses this tripod is designed for. Manfroto is an overall fantastic company and could not recommend this tripod more for heavy duty use. ... show more

  • Solid, sturdy, and tall
I've been through a few tripods, cheap, rickety, and eventually covered in duct tape. This tripod is sturdy, well made, and solid. I am tall, and can get the camera up to eye level - a first for me. Yes, it's not particularly light, but if you're serious, that's a good thing. This is an excellent choice. ... show more

  • Very nice but a bit pricy for a novice.
Great tripod but lost a star for price. I'm not a pro photographer and not well versed on these things but for a novice it's a bit pricy. However it is well made. If it lasts 5 years then it will have been worth the price if it breaks in less than 3 I will not want another. But as I stated it is well made, it moves smoothly and is pretty versatile so enjoying it for now. ... show more

  • Manfrotto 055 Aluminum 3-Section Tripod
I love everything about this tripod. One thing I will note as I gave three stars for lightweight. It's fairly large and has some weight to it. Everything I wanted and great for home use, would not be as great for travel or easy mobile use. I will also add that the weight makes you feel a lot more confident that your large camera is not going anywhere when mounted on top of this tripod. Overall, amazing tripod, highly recommend! ... show more

  • Solid performer, super sturdy
I need a sturdy tripod for in home use and occasional outdoor shoots. This tripod fits my needs. It is heavy, sturdy, and tall (I don't have to bend over to look at viewfinder). The ball head is solid and easy to operate. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase. A couple of things I would like to raise here. 1) there is no instruction or warranty information, and the 2D barcode on the box is covered, which makes me wonder whether I am getting a genuine product. 2) the tips of the legs are rubber, while it would be better to have these screw-on thing to expose metal tips, which would be useful for outdoors. ... show more
