More about the series 055...
The 055 collection
As the best-loved and most frequently copied (yet still unrivalled) family of professional tripods on the market, the 055 series is the best choice it terms of size, weight and stability. Depending on the model, the 055 series is ideal for indoor and outdoor use and is available in various configurations and two different versions: aluminium and carbon. The 055 product range was specially designed to offer the best possible performance not only for keen amateur and professional photographers, but also provide advanced hobby photographers with the high quality and precision found in Manfrotto products.
You can choose between the aluminium or dual carbon versions. The aluminium version is also available in a set with a new three-way panhead or a ball head.
Manfrotto has revised its classic model and improved it in many ways.
- Versatility: A special feature of the 055 is the new 90° centre column system.
In addition to vertical extension, it also allows horizontal movement, offering you amazing possibilities when shooting.
The tripod legs can be spread individually in 4 steps (25°, 46°, 66°, 88°). - Quick Power Lock: With the new 055 tripod, stability for your camera is guaranteed.
Compared to classic locking levers, the Quick Power Locks provide additional locking force on the tripod legs. This in turn significantly increases the torsional rigidity of the tripod, allowing it to handle a significantly higher payload.
However, greater locking force does not automatically mean compromising on ergonomics: the Quick Power Lock system features a one-hand opening mechanism that reduces set-up time and keeps operation convenient. - Unlimited creativity: The tripod shoulder of the new 055 collection has an Easy Link connection
for attaching photo and video accessories (e.g. LED continuous light, flash unit, reflector or other equipment) to an extendable arm or holder. This allows you to transform the tripod into an extremely practical, mobile studio. - 360° rotatable spirit level: You can rotate the spirit level freely around the centre column so that you always have a clear view of it and can check the alignment of your tripod.
- Available in aluminium and carbon: The new 055 tripod is available in both aluminium and carbon versions, offering additional stability for the camera and optimum portability thanks to its increased torsional rigidity and significantly lower weight.
