Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminium 3-Section Tripod Kit w/ MHXPRO3W X-PRO 3-Way Head w/Retractable Levers and Friction Controls w/Two Replacement Quick Release Plates for the RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter

The key feature of the 055XPRO3 is its 90 centre column mechanism, which allows the column to be extended vertically as normal, or horizontally to open up a variety of framing and shooting possibilities; this makes the 055XPRO3 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a variety of photography and video applications. The horizontal column mechanism is housed within the tripod’s top casting for compactness, but it is easily and quickly extended whenever you want it. Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly, and can even be done with a camera attached.

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 may be extended when needed.

Friction controls on the X-PRO 3-Way Head’s tilt and portrait axes help balance the weight of camera equipment in order that fine framing adjustments will also be made with the locking knobs open, only locking everything down once everything’s in a position. And with 3 leveling bubbles on the head, composition will also be levelled precisely in-camera, reducing post production work.

QPL’s (Quick Power Levers) design also offers more powerful locking of every section, meaning the tripod is more stable and rigid than with traditional lever designs. Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow every leg to be independently and solidly set to any of the preset angles, again allowing considerable positioning freedom
A bubble level is built in to the top of the centre column for precise framing. The bubble level rotates freely around the centre column, so it may be positioned wherever it’s easiest so that you can see it at the same time as adjusting the tripod, and without it either being obscured by the mounted head and camera, or getting in the way of head or camera controls
The top casting of the 055XPRO3 has an Easy Link connector for supporting a photo or video accessory (such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other piece of equipment) on an extending arm or bracket, and making the tripod into a practical mobile studio
