Manfrotto 555B Overview

The innovative Manfrotto 555B leveling system for the 3021 Pro (055 Pro) tripod allows you to quickly level your photo or video head, independently from the tripod. A built-in 50mm half ball with 15° of levelling is mounted on top of the tripod center column so as to make the angle of the plate independent of the rest of the tripod.

Locking and unlocking of the half ball is via a turning grip on the bottom of the center column.

question

Will this work with a Manfrotto 028B? Will it allow me to shoot down onto the floor for overhead shots?
Asked by: Anonymous
No, that column will not work on the Manfrotto 028B tripod legs. Those legs do not have any other accessory column that fits but the one it comes with.

question

Hi, If I use this with my 055xprob legs does it take away the ability to use the column horizontally? Thanks
Asked by: Oliver
According to Manfrotto, although not really designed to go together, you can get the the Manfrotto 555B Leveling Center Column to work with the older Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Aluminum Tripod with a little bit of effort. You can also not turn the column horizontal without completely removing the handle from the bottom of the column, completely removing the column from the tripod, and reinserting it sideways, then re-attaching the handle. It is not very quick or convenient, but if you have the time and patience, it can be used with your tripod.
