Product Review

The key feature of the 055XPRO3 is its 90 centre column mechanism, which allows the column to be extended vertically as normal, or horizontally to open up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities; this makes the 055XPRO3 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide range of photography and video applications. The horizontal column mechanism is housed within the tripod's top casting for compactness, but it is easily and quickly extended whenever you need it. Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly, and can even be done with a camera attached.

The X-PRO 3-Way Head is Manfrotto's most compact, precise and reliable 3-way photographic head.

The compact closed size that makes the X-PRO so easy to pack and carry is down to its retractable levers that can be extended when needed.

Friction controls on the X-PRO 3-Way Head's tilt and portrait axes help balance the weight of camera equipment so that fine framing adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open, only locking everything down once everything's ready. And with 3 leveling bubbles on the head, composition can be levelled precisely in-camera, reducing post production work.
