The Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a 3-section support that replaces the 055CXPRO3 tripod. It has a load capacity of 44 lb and extends from 3.5" to 67". Its carbon fiber legs are secured by the Quick Power Locks. These updated flip locks increase the tripod's rigidity by 50% compared to its predecessor.

A redesigned center column has a "one finger" operation, and includes an Easy Link 3/8"-16 attachment for attaching accessories such as an LED light or a reflector via a compatible arm. The center column can be positioned horizontally, allowing for low-angle and macro photography. The upper disc where a tripod head is mounted has been redesigned as well, and now has a bull's eye bubble level that rotates 360° so you can locate it where you can see it. This allows you to level your camera on both the horizontal and vertical planes.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. MT055CXPRO3 or MT055CXPRO4? Trying to decide between these two. Thank you!

A: Choosing the 3 you will have less legs to extend and collapse which can be annoying as it is. Also less legs allow for a more sturdy tripos as appears to the 4. Between the 2 there is not much difference in fully extended height and collapsible height. I would go for the 3. If anything I would be questioning th need for carbon fibre. If you need a real sturdy tripos go non carbon fibre, the more weight the better for longer exposures!

Q: 2. The Gear Head has 2 screws that goes into the camera at the same time is this correct?

A: The screws can be removed. You would use the size you need for the camera you are using.

Q: 3. Is the ball head removable? I'd like to get a different one

Q: 10. I've read some reviews of this tripod on other sites mentioning that the legs bend and get really flimsy the further the angle of spread you use. Have you guys tested this tripod or heard anything related? I'm worried about making a purchase if I'll run into issues, or I'm going to consider the 3-piece leg instead. Thanks!

A: Generally speaking, 4 section legs while able to collapse smaller are less stable than 3 section legs. The trade off is the collapsed size vs added stability due to the extra connection points for the 4 sections. This would be an issue if the legs were extended to their MAX and at odd angles. At low positions, its best to spread all the leg sections evenly rather than 1 or 2 to their MAX extension.
