The new 055 3-section carbon frame provides maximum stiffness from the lightest components; a masterpiece of technology intended for photographers who want the best from their tripod, and also easy to carry. The 100% carbon fiber leg tubes and the new QPL leg lock system increase the tripod's rigidity and absorb vibrations, as well as stabilize the camera equipment in all conditions. Carbon fiber tubing and magnesium castings also reduce the weight of this stand compared to the equivalent aluminum version.
The most important feature of the 055CXPRO3 is its 90° center pillar mechanism which allows the center pillar to be used vertically as usual, or horizontally to open up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities; this makes the 055CXPRO3 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide range of photography and video applications. The horizontal center column mechanism is housed in the tripod's top leg mount for compactness, but it's easy and quick to angle when you need it. Switching between vertical and horizontal pillar mode requires no disassembly, and can also be done with a camera attached.
The legs of the 055CXPRO3 stand are also quick to raise and adjust, thanks to the Quick Power locking knobs that lock and release each leg section. The special design of the QPL knob gives the opportunity to open all leg parts in one moment. The QPL lever design also offers more powerful locking of each section, meaning the stand is more stable and rigid than traditional leg locks. Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be set independently and stably at any of the pre-set angles, allowing great positioning freedom.

Manfrotto XPRO magnesium ball head with Top Lock quick release

The new XPRO ball head is a perfect union between innovative technical solutions and design.
The XPRO ball head has a new triple locking system that guarantees the camera's positional stability, and eliminates creep thanks to three wedges that surround and lock the ball. Its friction control helps the user balance the weight of the camera equipment and thanks to the two spirit levels, fine adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open. In addition, the new polymer rings have replaced the unpleasant, sticky grease, ensuring smooth, precise and less jerky camera movements.
The XPRO ball head is extremely portable, light and reliable thanks to its magnesium frame: it weighs only 0.52 kg and can handle up to 15 kg of payload. The new MHXPRO-BHQ6 comes with the Top Lock, MSQ6PL (Arca-Swiss compatible) plate, which represents an innovative solution compared to other Arca-Swiss adapters on the market. The camera is inserted from the top, rather than from the side, which is faster and easier. When the plate meets the clamp, a safety mechanism is released that prevents the camera from falling out. It is the perfect solution for the experienced photographer who wants to feel completely safe, even when using expensive and heavy high-end camera equipment.
