Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod

The Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod is a three-section support that replaces the 055XPROB tripod. It has a load capacity of 44 lb and extends from 3.5" to 67". Its legs are secured by the Quick Power Locks. These updated flip locks increase the tripod's rigidity by 50%, and its load capacity by 4.4 lb over its predecessor.

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.

MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod and 494 Ball Head with 200PL-PRO Quick Release Plate Kit Reviews

Perfect for my 200mm lens!

After much research, I decided to purchase the Manfrotto MT055XPR3 with thew XPRO Geared 3-way pan/tilt head kit. It completely delivered as for sturdiness, easy of set up and use. I photograph the moon, which is why I purchased this kit so that it would be very sturdy to hold my Nikon z8 and Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II lens. It works perfectly. I love the ease of the micro adjustments of theGeared head as well. I know that with Manfrotto you just can't go wrong! Great investment.

Second Manfrotto tripod purcha

This is my second Manfrotto tripod. I bought my first one in China and have used it for many years. The build quality is excellent. Once, it fell directly from the trunk of my car onto the ground while I was driving, and it still wasn’t damaged. It’s extremely durable and well made. That’s why I decided to buy a second one, so I can use it with my dual-camera setup.
