055MF3 Mag Fiber (3-Section)
Product # BO055MF3

$320.00

The 055MF3 is an ideal tripod for many applications. A ’beefier’ tripod to the 190MF series, the 055MF3 provides professional photographers with a tripod that’s still very light in weight, simple to use, strong, and extremely versatile to position.

  • Carbon Fiber three-faced tubes for the tripod legs
  • Aluminum and nylon polymer center column
  • Magnesium die casting for all tripod parts and stainless steel nuts and bolts
  • Ergonomic, user friendly features such as quick-action adjustable leg lever locks that instantly secure leg extensions firmly in place with no slippage or rotation
  • Push buttons to operate leg angles to offer four degrees of inclination
  • Center column with vertical/horizontal positioning
  • Built-in low angle adapter.

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.

The patented cast magnesium tripod shoulder design allows the carbon fiber center column to double as a lateral arm. Converts in seconds and provides table-top and overhead camera positions impossible with standard tripods.

  The low-angle adapter forms the top section of the center column. It is easily detached without any tools by simply unscrewing the knob at the bottom of the column.

  The two-part center column switches between normal and low-angle work without forcing you to remove the camera and head everytime you need to change position.
