Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 CF Tripod-3 Section w/Q90 Column Mag.Castings

The Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 tripod is specifically designed for extreme outdoor assignments. The legs and the column are made of 100% carbon fiber combined with magnesium die-casting quick action lever locking collars. Each leg can be independently set at four different angle positions. This Professional tripod provides great rigidity and lightness, combined with the best professional features such as the Patented Q90° center column system. The magnesium top plate integrates a leveling bubble.
The patented PRO model has a unique design that allows the center column to be used horizontally as an extending arm, or vertically (both right-way-up and upside-down). When used horizontally, it can be turned through 360° around the tripod, and is useful for Macro work, low angle shooting, extreme balance points and off-centre work. This also makes the tripod a helpful accessory for chair-bound photographers, who can sit beside instead of behind the tripod, therefore much closer to the camera viewfinder. This model includes the patented Q90° system. This ingenious system allows the User to move the central column from vertical to horizontal position in just seconds without having to disassemble the column.
