Description

The X-PRO 3-Way Head is Manfrotto's most compact, precise and reliable 3-way photographic head.The compact closed size that makes the X-PRO so easy to pack and carry is down to its retractable levers that can be extended when needed. With the levers retracted and folded for transport, the space occupied by the head is only 13cm x 13.5cm x 13.5cm (5.1" x 5.3" x 5.3"). Friction controls on the X-PRO 3-Way Head's tilt and portrait axes help balance the weight of camera equipment so that fine framing adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open, only locking everything down once everything's ready. And with 3 leveling bubbles on the head, composition can be levelled precisely in-camera, reducing post production work. Sturdily built with a rugged aluminium body for reliability and durability, the X-PRO supports up to 12 kg (26.46 lbs), but weighs only 1 kg (2.2 lbs).The X-PRO 3-Way Head is made in Italy by Manfrotto.SPECIFICATIONSMETRIC IMPERIAL attachment 3/8" female thread attachment type Color black color front tilt -30 Degree / +90 Degree tilt range independent pan lock yes independent tilt lock yes lateral tilt -30 Degree / +90 Degree tilt range material aluminum panoramic rotation 360 degrees patent pat. pending plate type quick release - with 1/4-20" screw quick release yes secondary safety system yes safety payload 26.46 lbs weight 2.2 lbs working height 5.12 in

  • I'm so glad to be back to using pan and tilt!
Years ago I got sucked into the "you have to shoot with a ball head" thing. Maybe it's because I grew up with pan & tilt that I never bonded. But, I'm not doing this to make a living, I'm a hobbyist photographer (60 years), so I don't need to work fast. I like working methodically. I like working out a composition like a puzzle. I take my time, scout my subjects, think about what I want to convey about the shoot and then create my images. I like tight comps too so that I'm not throwing pixels away with a cropping tool. The only advantage I can see with ball heads other than size and weight is that they are faster to set up. But, when trying to level a camera for an interior shoot, or trying to nudge the camera ever so slightly, they're a pain. My last ball head was a Manfrotto 469MG Hydrostatic Head, so I'm not talking about cheap, flyweight heads. The pan and tilt is just easier to deal with because you can adjust one plane at a time. A free floating ball head is all but impossible to move in only one plane. I find this pan and tilt head to be useful in doing interiors, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural, panorama and yes, even studio work. So, I purchased the XPRO 3 Way head from Manfrotto as I wanted to go back to what had worked for me in the past. It is sturdy and it is stable. It is designed to hold over 17 pounds and when I mount my camera onto it and tighten things up, nothing moves. No ballhead sag to deal with. While heavier than a ball head, it is still pretty compact and the sliding handles allow it to fit into the same tripod bag that I've been using without having to remove the head. The friction pre-load works well too and aids with accuracy while making small changes. When needed, leveling the camera on this head is a snap. The spirit levels and my internal, electronic leveling system in my camera are in perfect agreement. This isn't as convenient as a geared head for positioning, but it doesn't sag like a ball head and offers more carrying capacity for those of us with heavy lens and camera combos than the geared heads in this price range. There is a lot less to go wrong too. So, this meets my needs and I'm very pleased with the construction and finish. If you're a run and gun shooter, it may not be something that you're going to love. But for me, this is the ticket and if you don't need the quick setup of a ball head, I recommend this highly. ... show more

  • Good solid head for professional quality photos
This is good quality, solidly built and heavy duty head that allows for easy locking of any dimension while adjusting other dimensions for easy panoramic shots and many other situations. Three built in levels makes it easy to get level shots, and markings show the horizontal rotation angle which can be useful for panoramic shots. Adjustments in each dimension allows the camera to be positioned at any angle. The handles pull out so they are longer during use and can be pushed in for easier transport or storage, and can be used in either position. Once the top plate is securely fastened to the camera, attaching it to the head is a quick operation and it locks into place so you don't accidentally release it and drop your camera. Detaching is just as fast after pressing the release lock and flipping the lever to release the camera. The only possible disadvantages I can see are: It's large and relatively heavy due to it's solid construction and separate controls for each dimension; and it can take several separate adjustments to get the angle you want, where a ball head would be quicker but could not lock in any dimension. ... show more

  • An impressive piece of engineering!
I bought this an alternative to the ball head on my BeFree travel tripod. Yeah I know, it kind of defeats the purpose of a light-weight tripod, but i am glad I did it. As much as I like the BeFree, my hands always had trouble finding the control for the universal ball head knob. Also it is not possible to smoothly pan with the simple head. Sure it is great for hiking around and stuff, but the BeFree is the best tripod I own and I like using it for everything. This heavy duty, precision-made, sexy little head is a work of smooth art. It was very easy to use. and all of the controls glide and move just the way we want them to - and if not, there are "friction" knobs to adjust the tension. The spirit filled bubble levelers are wonderful. The locking mechanism to hold the RC2 plate is great- much easier to use than the one on the BeFree. This tripod head weighs 2.2 lbs. Attached to the BeFree, with the 2nd tier of legs extended 3-4 inches, i felt I could dissuade a mountain lion attack as I walked the Coastal Trail in southern Oregon yesterday. It feels like a battle axe. The entire weight of the BeFree with its' much smaller ball head is 3.1 lbs. Switch heads and your carrying about 5lbs of sturdy metal. Be advised. I know now to use the smaller head when I am going to be sweating up and down trails. That said, I now have the best of both worlds. ... show more

  • Most versatile 3-way head with the same quick release plate interchangeble among all different heads
For Manfrotto fans, the Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W 3-Way Head is the best and most versatile 3-Way Head to use in most situations where it is required that it is not too heavy and that it can be adjusted in all directions. It is very well designed, ergonomic, made of good materials, and mechanically has good resolution. Even beautiful ! For heavier telephoto lenses, I use the Manfrotto Junior Geared Tripod High-Precision Fluid Head instead, where a bigger plate is attached to the collar. This "Junior Geared" head is also heavy and I use it with a tripod which is also large. This equipment I use at my house in the field or when I carry it in the car. However, for all other lenses that don't require heavy tripods and that I also carry in backpacks, the plate is attached to the camera. In those cases, I prefer ALL TRIPODS TO USE THE SAME PLATE. That is why I use the Manfrotto Quick Release Plate 200PL. I have one stored in each tripod carrying case bags, camera case, camera bag and backpack. I use it with the Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head, with the Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head and with tripods from other brands where the head has a Manfrotto 323 RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter attached. Therefore, for me, who prefer the 200PL plate, the best high-precision 3-Way Head is the Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W. I recommend it with confidence. ... show more
