The Bogen/Manfrotto 055MF3 Magfiber Pro Carbon Fiber 3-Section Tripod with 460MG 3D Magnesium Head provides professional photographers with a "beefier" tripod that's still light in weight, simple to use, strong, and extremely versatile to position.
Without compromising on stability or rigidity of the tripod, the 055MF3 consists of carbon fiber legs that feature quick action lever locks in magnesium and resin. In addition, the design of the "top spider" which offers four leg angle settings is also used with this model. In adittion, it allows for the center column to be converted into a lateral arm.
Designed for use with 35mm SLRs and medium format cameras, the 460MG 3D Magnesium Head is also the ideal head when used in combination with this tripod. Cast from lightweight magnesium, the head can be positioned in virtually any position to get the exact framing of the image.
