Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Tripod with Pan/Tilt Hea... Overview

The Manfrotto MK055XPRO3-3W Aluminum Tripod with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head is a 3-section support with a 3-way pan/tilt head. It has a load capacity of 33.1 lb and extends from 3.5 to 72.1". Its legs are secured by the Quick Power Locks. These updated flip locks increase the tripod's rigidity by 50%.

A redesigned center column has a "one finger" operation, and includes an Easy Link attachment for attaching accessories such as an LED light or a reflector. The center column can be positioned horizontally, allowing for low-angle and macro photography. The upper disc where a tripod head is mounted has been redesigned as well, and now has a bull's eye bubble level that rotates 360° so you can locate it where you can see it. This allows you to level your camera on both the horizontal and vertical planes.

The MHXPRO-3W 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head is a compact pan/tilt head with retractable levers that can be extended as needed. Two knobs control the friction for the front-to-back and side-to-side tilt, allowing you to fine tune the movements based on the weight of your gear. Three leveling bubbles ensure your composition is level on all axes.

I need a replacement foot on my MTO55XPro3 is there a part number that I can order? Thanks.
Asked by: Robert
A replacement foot is available for the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3. The one that is available is the Manfrotto Stainless Steel Rubber foot with a retractable Spike Foot, it is the normal replacement foot for that tripod. https: //bhpho.to/2wh6LUC

What is the difference between this unit and the other Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod with MHXPRO-3W 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head Kit, besides the price? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1060591-REG/manfrotto_mt055xpro3_aluminum_tripod_stand_alone.html
Asked by: Tim
The difference in the kit is how they are packed. With B&H # MAK055XPRO33, this comes in a single box. With B&H # MAMT055XP3K6, there is a separate box for the legs and one for the head. Otherwise, they have the same specifications.

Has anyone used "Manfrotto MT055XPRO3-3W Aluminum Tripod with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head" for stitched panoramic 360?images? If so, does it enable proper stitching?
Asked by: Cathy
You could certainly use this tripod/head for pano's but there are much better heads out there specifically for shooting 360. You can purchase legs separate, then buy the head. Click on the link below to view pano heads; https://bhpho.to/37YDkZM

I am puzzled by the 3.5" minimum operating height. Is the center column reversible? I do ground level, nature oriented macro photography. Solid, near ground level operation is essential for me. Thanks!

question

How steady is the 90 degree column with a DSLR on it? I do stop-motion and long exposures and stability is super important for me.
Asked by: Sahar P.
The tripod head will lock in place, given you are within the weight capacity of the head.
