Manfrotto MT055CXPRO4 Carbon Fiber Tripod

The Manfrotto MT055CXPRO4 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a 4-section support that replaces the 055CXPRO4 tripod. It has a load capacity of 44 lb and extends from 3.5" to 67". Its carbon fiber legs are secured by the Quick Power Locks. These updated flip locks increase the tripod's rigidity by 50% compared to its predecessor.

A redesigned center column has a "one finger" operation, and includes an Easy Link 3/8"-16 attachment for attaching accessories such as an LED light or a reflector via a compatible arm. 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.

MT055CXPRO4 Carbon Fiber Tripod with 128RC Micro Fluid Video Head Kit Reviews

Quality, but heavy

By Adam
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-09-03

The quality you expect from Manfrotto. This is an older design but it's simple to use. Heavy can be a plus or a minus. Buy the newer BeFree series if you want to save weight, but get this if you want smooth fluid movement and solid shots at a good price.

Great value

This tripod is a great value for the price. I have the same head on the carbon fiber tripod, and that is superior in weight and function, but costs much more. This product is similar enough, and much cheaper if you're on a budget. It has the same head though, and that accounts for the bulk of the performance. The 128RC is a great head!

Asked by: Paul
The Manfrotto 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod with 128RC Micro Fluid Video Head would be a good option for filming basketball while sitting in high school bleachers. The legs are able to be adjusted to fit in the bleachers in a stable way.

Does this 290 allow you to change heads to a photo application?
Asked by: David
The Manfrotto 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod with 128RC Micro Fluid Video Head (B&H# MAMK290XTA32) is a combination of the Manfrotto MT290XTA3US 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod (B&H# MAMT290XTA3U) and the Manfrotto 128RC QR Micro Fluid Head (B&H# MA128RC). The tripod may be used with many other heads, and the head may be used with many other tripods. So, yes, you could remove the 128RC QR Micro Fluid Head and replace it with a head that is more commonly used for taking still photographs.

Not being an expert on tripods, could this one also be used as a regular fixed tripod for taking photos?
Asked by: William
There is nothing to stop you from taking photos while using this head, however the camera will only align in a landscape position. To turn the camera in to portrait you will need an L-Bracket such as the Manfrotto Q2 L Bracket. https://bhpho.to/3kOx64f

Does this tripod have a level of any kind? If not, is there an accessory I can buy to level the tripod?

It does not have a level bubble. Sturdy, and excellent fluid head, though.
