Manfrotto released the 055 Series as their new generation of tripods in 2014. Sturdier and stronger than ever before and with an entirely new design! Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 is a powerful aluminum/carbon fiber tripod that fits body lengths around 170-185 centimeters without using the center column. If you are shorter, simply avoid pulling out the bottom section of the legs completely.
Quickly level your photo or video head without needing to make time-consuming adjustments to the length and angle of each single tripod leg. Use only one finger to push the center column 90 degrees to the side, completely without any click-stops. The same feature allows you to hang the center column upside down in the spider for all imaginable camera positions. These features may be unnecessary for us birders out there, but as some "multi-tasking" birdwatchers are both photographing and using the spotting scope, this is a bunch of options that surely will be hard to find on other tripod models.
The top of the center column has got a new design with an integrated spirit-lever and can also be turned 360 degrees in a split second. The legs can be angled to 90 degrees if needed, with a few clicks. Two of the legs have foam rubber on them, ensuring a warm and good grip. Lastly, the rubber feet have been designed in a new, slightly angular design.
