The Manfrotto 055XWNB Tripod Legs is a direct replacement for the 3221WN Wilderness tripod. In addition to the redesigned ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism and improved quick action leg locks, it also features retractable spiked feet, which makes it more versatile for outdoor use. It is lightweight and portable enough to take into the field, yet strong enough for medium format cameras, small view cameras, spotting scopes and the latest generation of digital video cameras.

The 055XWNB provides speedy set up coupled with added security with quick action, lever-type leg locks, four position legs spread, low angle adapter, leg warmers, and retractable spiked feet.

The greater resolution of High Definition video means that details as well as errors in movement are more apparent, and thereby demands a more refined means of support. The continuously-variable fluid drag system of the 503HDV provides just the right amount of dampening for any shot on your list-from whip pans to slow motion, just dial in drag to touch. This capability in conjunction with the 3-step counterbalance delivers the type of fingertip camera control normally reserved for much more costly production fluid heads.
