Product Description:
The 055MF3 supports up to 15lbs, offers a minimum height of only 4.3 inches - which is perfect for low-angle shooting, and can extend to over 5 1/2 ft when needed. Without compromising on stability or rigidity of the tripod, Manfrotto engineers reduced the weight of the 055MF3 by utilizing carbon fiber legs with quick action lever locks in magnesium and resin. In addition, they incorporated the patended design of the 3021PRO series top spider which offers four leg angle settings, and converts the center column into a lateral arm.
The center column itself is of the latest generation of aluminum and resin materials. The low-angle adapter forms the top section of the center column and is easily detached by simply unscrewing the knob at the bottom of the column. This enables the head to be left mounted on the center column when switching between low-angle and normal shooting positions. All parts are assembled using a proven pressure clamp technology for greater durability and in-the-field serviceability. To make transportation even easier, the 055MF3 is supplied with a hand padded carrying strap that can also double as a hook to hang weight and increase stability during extreme wind conditions. Center column with vertical/horizontal positioning Maximum Height with extended center column - 66.5 inches

- Good design and build, but QC issueThis tripod seemed a good price-performance compromise for this slim-walleted amateur photographer. I was interested in a tall, sturdy platform for taking landscapes and panorama sequences, yet flexible enough to be useful for most purposes. With the Manfrotto 488RC2 ball head mounted on the tripod and my dSLR camera on top of that, and with the legs fully extended but with the center column completely down, the eyepiece of the camera is just above the level of my eye (I am six foot).

- Sturdy as a RockBogen-Manfrotto...what can I say, the tripod is sturdy, well constructed and rock solid. I coupled it with the Bogen-Manfrotto 488RC2 Midi Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System and WOW! Granted it may be a little pricey for the casual photographer but if you are an enthusiast like myself you get alot of bang for the buck. Thank you Bogen-Manfrotto!
