Features:

The Manfrotto MT055CXPRO4 Carbon Fiber 4 Sections Tripod with Horizontal Column delivers maximum rigidity from the lightest components, a masterpiece of engineering designed for photographers who want the best from their tripod and need it to be easily transportable. The 100% carbon fibre tubes and new QPL leg locking system increase the tripod's rigidity and absorb vibrations, stabilizing camera equipment under any conditions. Carbon fibre tubing and magnesium castings also reduce the weight of this tripod compared to the equivalent aluminum version. The 4-section leg design allows this tripod to fold to a more compact size for easier transportation.

It is its 90 degree center column mechanism which allows the column to be extended vertically as normal, or horizontally to open up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities; this makes the 055CXPRO4 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable 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.

Avery ★★★★★

For a 15-year-old aluminum tripod I was used to, the carbon fiber is a revelation—setting it up feels almost effortless. The twist locks are buttery smooth and secure, and at under waist height I can shoot macro without bending over. It’s stable enough that my 70-200mm lens doesn’t make a single wob

Sophia W. ★★★★★

Four sections collapse down tight enough that this tripod disappears into my backpack, yet it locks rock-solid even on uneven ground. The horizontal column really pulls double duty for overhead shots, and the carbon build feels featherlight without any hint of flex. Worth every penny for landscape w

Emily ★★★★★

The horizontal column feature let me shoot straight down over a crowded table without repositioning the whole setup. Leg locks are smooth and secure, and the whole thing feels rock-solid even fully extended.
