Description

Style:Carbon 3 Section The premium Manfrotto 055 carbon fiber 3-section tripod delivers maximum rigidity from the lightest components. The 100% carbon fiber tubes and new Quick Power Lock (QPL) leg locking system maximizes the tripod’s rigidity and vibrational absorption, stabilizing camera equipment under any condition. The key feature of the MT055CXPRO3 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 3-section legs of this Manfrotto tripod make it light and ready for to go. The legs of the MT055CXPRO3 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 MT055CXPRO3 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.

    • Fantastic Tripod!!!

Well worth the money! I won’t go into specs about the Manfrotto 055. If you are looking for these, simply look at the description. I did however, attach a few pictures comparing the size of the tubing of this model compared to a Manfrotto 190XB using a digital caliper. Huge difference that really isn’t shown by the photographs. This tripod is impressive to say the least. I already own a Manfrotto 190XB and have used this as my go to tripod for at least five years. I have gotten into night photography recently and have a few dslrs, but only the one tripod. Well, it was time to purchase a new addition to my gear. Impressed with the sturdiness, quality, and build of the 190XB, I decided to stick with the Manfrotto brand. I decided on the Manfrotto 055 based on my prior experience with Manfrotto, along with the many reviews available online. Upon arrival, I was instantly impressed with the build of this model. It is “supersized” compared to my 190XB. See the attached pictures. This product is built to top quality standards. A bit heavy of a tripod to use as a walk around, but if you travel by car, or motorcycle and only plan a few hundred yards walk to your subject, this shouldn’t be an issue. However, if you plan on backpacking this tripod, be ready for the extra weight of this model. It will wear you down within an hour or so. It is by no means small or ultra-lite. This is extremely sturdy and needs no extra weight to keep it steady on a breezy day. I am 100% Satisfied! Manfrotto isn’t cheap stuff. Top of the line for the money spent. ... show more

    • Avoid at all costs.
I purchased this tripod to replace my Manfrotto 311BN that was nearing twelve years old. This model with a total overall height that was greater than my older tripod, lighter weight, and seemingly more functional center column that could pivot horizontally for extremely low shots or help when I was shooting real estate seemed like a simple and effective package. During my first week of usage one of the lower sections of the tripod leg repeatedly became detached randomly, nearly sending my D810 into the ground on several occasions. Even after removing the section, cleaning it, re installing it and making sure it was properly attached this continued to happen. During week two of use the center column started slipping and would not hold its position forcing numerous re-shoots and aggravating amounts of time lost while working. The final nail in the coffin came soon after when the tension screw quit working all together, not the center column cannot be locked into place at all, negating the need for a tripod all together because no matter how level you were the entire column just wobbles around making a truly still shot next to impossible. If you value your time and money, avoid this tripod at all costs. ... show more

    • A sturdy tripod but not without flaws
Style: Alu 3 Section
I absolutely love this tripod--it is very sturdy. Most of the time I have a 5d IV and 100-400m w/1.4 extender and the tripod stays put. I did notice that the rubber feet will slip if the ground is slimy/slippery. Today I was on the board and the wood surface had wet slimy surface cover--the tripod would not stay put, but I imagine any tripod would have had a problem with this surface, regardless of spike feet or rubber. I like the quick power locks --they bit and don't slip. The adjustors for leg angle are somewhat stiff and difficult to actuate quickly. The 90 degree center column feels somewhat flimsy, however I think it holds the gear well and will last with care. Common sense--just don't extend it all the way out with heavy gear mounted. The finish on this aluminum tripod is merely black paint--so I am careful not bang it around. However, even with good care the center column already has minor scratches from normal up and down use. The easy link connection is very nice and I added an articulating arm to hold LED lights--great for macro lighting. Over-all, I would buy this tripod again. ... show more

    • Highly Recommend This Affordable HD Tripod
Style: Alu 3 Section
Review Image by D. Horst
I needed a heavy duty tripod to handle my 18 pound camera, lens and gimbal combination. There are lots of tripods out there, if you haven't noticed, and I spent about a month researching and reading reviews. Most of the recommended HD tripods were 2 to 3 times more expensive than the Manfrotto 055, and essentially priced outside of my budget. I already own a smaller Manfrotto 190XDB that is super rugged and sturdy. I was actually using it for my heavy lens, but needed to extend the center column to get to the height I needed. So, after reading all I could find about the 055, I decided to take a chance and purchased it. I couldn't be more pleased! It proved to be very rugged and sturdy and handles my camera equipment easily. It is easy to transport and sets up quickly. I highly recommend the Manfrotto 055 tripod for all photographers in need of a tripod for heavy camera and lenses. ... show more

    • Thought it was good. Turned out not to be.
Style: Carbon 3 Section
I thought I would love this tripod, turns out I was wrong. I'v used Manfrotto products before from others that had let me borrow their gear and have never had a problem. So when I decided to buy my own tripod, Manfrotto was top on my list to buy, and I wanted carbon fiber so I thought this was a steal of a deal. At first I thought it was a fantastic tripod. However, only 2 months in I out shooting wildlife and one of the legs broke. I was able to catch the tripod before my whole camera setup fell to the ground. I tried to get it warrantied out but Manfrotto wasn't having any of it. They were very rude on the phone, and then sent me to a different company that they said deals with their warranties, called Vitech. They were even worse to deal with on the phone. After about an hour on the phone with them, they pretty much said because I bought it on Amazon they won't help. I have fixed it since then, but never really trust my camera setup on it. Will be going a different route when the funds allow. I would stay away from this tripod. ... show more
