What is a horizontal column tripod?
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. From folded, the sections of each leg of the tripod can be released in a single movement.
What makes the Manfrotto 055xprob so special?
The Manfrotto 055XPROB is a smart-looking tripod finished in black. The leg tubes and centre column are made of aluminium with a smooth finish. Aluminium is a traditional and familiar material used to construct tripods, so most photographers will know what to expect from the 055XPROB in terms of look, feel and weight.
How does the 055 work?
The new horizontal column mechanism combined with the 4 leg angles allows the new 055 to smoothly reach whatever camera position you have in mind. The 055 is also available in carbon fibre versions providing extra camera stability and maximum transportability, thanks to increased rigidity and reduced weight.
What is the difference between the 055xprob and 055cxpro3?
The aluminium 055XPROB weighs-in at a not inconsiderable 2.4Kg, compared to 1.65Kg for the carbon fiber 055CXPRO3 version. That makes the carbon fiber model almost one third lighter and you really feel the difference the moment you pick them up, let alone take them out on a job or a hike.
Do the 055xprob’s legs get cold?
To address this, Manfrotto has considerately fitted fabric leg warmers to the upper portions of two of the 055XPROB’s legs (pictured), which counteract the chills quite effectively, but for carbon fiber it’s simply not a problem as the material just doesn’t get that cold.
