Manfrotto 055 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with 3-Way Head

Explore the world of photography and videography with the Manfrotto MK055XPRO3-3W Aluminum 3-Section Tripod Kit. This high-quality, sturdy tripod is designed with a unique 90-degree center column mechanism that can be extended vertically or horizontally, providing a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities. This feature makes the 055XPRO3 an incredibly versatile tripod, perfect for various photography and video applications.The horizontal column mechanism is ingeniously housed within the tripod's top casting for compactness, but it can be easily and quickly extended whenever you need it. Transitioning between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly and can even be done with a camera attached, making this durable aluminum tripod a reliable choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike.The legs of the 055XPRO3 tripod are designed for quick extension and adjustment, thanks to the Quick Power Lock (QPL) levers that control each leg section. The innovative design of the QPL levers allows for comfortable single-handed opening of all leg sections in one swift action. This design also provides more powerful locking of each section, ensuring the tripod is more stable and rigid than those with traditional lever designs.The tripod also features intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors, allowing each leg to be independently and solidly set to any of the preset angles, offering considerable positioning freedom. A built-in bubble level at the top of the center column ensures precise framing. This bubble level rotates freely around the center column, so you can position it wherever it's most convenient for you to see while adjusting the tripod.The 055XPRO3 also comes with an Easy Link connector, which allows you to support a photo or video accessory, such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other equipment, on an extending arm or bracket. This transforms the tripod into a practical mobile studio.The x-PRO 3-Way Head features retractable levers for an ultra-compact design and new friction controls on the portrait and tilt axes. These controls help balance the weight of camera equipment, allowing for fine framing adjustments to be made with the locking knobs open. You only need to lock everything down once the shot is ready.In summary, the Manfrotto MK055XPRO3-3W Aluminum 3-Section Tripod Kit is a versatile, reliable, and high-quality tool for all your photography and videography needs.
