Manfrotto 055 CF 3 Section Tripod Kit with Move QR Catcher and XPRO in More Detail
Manfrotto 055 Carbon Fibre 3-Section Tripod
The 055 carbon fibre 3-section tripod provides maximum rigidity from some of the lightest components for photographers who want the best from a portable tripod. The 100% carbon fibre tubes and QPL leg locking system increase rigidity and absorb vibrations, stabilising camera equipment under any conditions. Carbon fibre tubing and magnesium castings also reduce the weight of this tripod compared to the equivalent aluminium version.
The key feature of the 055CXPRO3 is its 90° centre column mechanism, which allows the column to be extended vertically as normal, or horizontally to open up a wide range of possibilities; which makes the 055CXPRO3 an extremely versatile tripod for a wide range of photography and video applications. 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. Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly, and can even be done with a camera attached.
The legs of the 055CXPRO3 tripod are quick to extend and adjust, thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers that block and unblock each leg section. The special design of the QPL levers allows a more comfortable single-handed opening of all leg sections in one action. QPL's lever design also offers more powerful locking of each section, meaning the tripod is more stable and rigid than with traditional lever designs. Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently and solidly set to any of the preset angles, again allowing considerable positioning freedom.
The top casting of the 055CXPRO3 has an Easy Link connector for supporting a photo or video accessory (such as an LED light, flashgun, reflector, or other equipment) on an extending arm or bracket and many other tripod accessories, turning the 055 CF tripod into a practical mobile studio.
Manfrotto QR Catcher system
A flat base and plate creates a universal connector, which is the foundation of the innovative Move QR system. The flat base has a 60mm diameter and mounts a standard 3/8” thread that is highly versatile, working with different support combinations (tripod, camera slider, monopods etc).
The plate comes with a standard 3/8'' and 1/4'' top attachment screw to guarantee an easy connection with a huge range of products. It also features an anti-rotation pin to work safely and securely in all shooting configurations, and a 1/4'' adapter seat. By adding the bases to the various supports, and the plate to the camera systems, users can quickly switch their gear from one set-up to the next without having to stop to screw and unscrew different plates into position.
Manfrotto’s new X LOCK system increases the rigidity of the entire kit at the mounting point through its intuitive twist locking mechanism. MOVE is not a simple universal connector, but an innovative product for everyone looking to improve their performance and creative range while also improving on-set or shoot efficiency.
Manfrotto XPRO 3 Way Photo Head
The innovative Manfrotto X-PRO 3-Way Head included in this kit enables photographers to create outstanding images in the moment. With friction controls on the tilt and portrait axes you can fine-tune your composition to frame and shoot as accurately as possible.
Post-production editing can be kept to a to a minimum while you look forward to more professional photos, by keeping your camera perfectly stable thanks to the secure locking knobs. Use the three levelling bubbles to shoot more accurately and never miss out on that all-important shot.
The X-PRO 3-Way Head measures only 13cm x 13.5cm x 13.5cm and its aluminium body weighs just 1kg, which means this product is incredibly easy to store and carry when you're on the go. The retractable levers also offer a new level of portability by taking up even less space, yet this product is remarkably sturdy, capable of carrying a payload of up to 12kg.
