Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi Experts, I'm a novice and basically trying to buy this head in order to record subjects in motion (flying birds, boots etc) for short length movies. Does this have the speed capability? For a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS.

A: It shouldn't be slower than any other head. However shooting single birds in flight is very difficult. Shooting flocks from a distance will be much easier. Most still photographers handhold their rigs (DSLR+Telephoto) to shoot birds in flight.

Q: 2. Can the center column be lock in multiple angles?

A: Choice is vertical or horizontal.

Q: 3. Will this tripod work with the Really Right Stuff BH55 ball head? I am looking for something that will support my sigma 150-600

A: Yes, the Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ball Head will fit the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod.

Q: 4. Does it come with a bag?

A: No, a carrying case is not included with the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod. If you are looking for a case that would be compatible with the tripod, I would recommend the Manfrotto MBAG80N Unpadded Tripod Bag, B&H # MAMBAG80N, for your needs.

Q: 5. Is there a Clamp Adapter for this head that would make it compatible with Arca-Swiss type plates?

A: There is no clamp adapter for the Manfrotto 808RC4 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head with 410PL Quick Release Plate that will accommodate an Arca-style quick release plate.

Q: 6. Hi, which Pan Bar Handles are compatible with this head?

A: Manfrotto does not offer any pan handle options other than the handle that is included with the Manfrotto MHXPRO 2-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head.

Q: 7. Is this a video head or a Fluid Head?

A: Definitely IS a fluid head. The description on this page is poorly written. Look at the the Manfrotto site and it is specifically titled as a "XPRO Fluid Two-Way Tripod Head with Fluidity Selector." "Adjustable fluidity on tilt movement for smoother shooting; Professional fluid drag for pan and tilt movements."

Q: 8. Does the bubble leveler being on the plate mount prevent you from using a video head?

A: A video head with a flat base and a 3/8" screw thread would not interfere with the bubble level on the base of this tripod.

Q: 9. There is no picture but where it says the center color tilts 90 degrees horizontally from the normal vertical stature that means the center pole extends up and tilts to the side correct?

A: Yes. I just checked and it does that. I will send a picture separately.Michael

Q: 10. How can you adjust the level of this Tripod? Is it only by adjusting the legs back and forth, or is there an easier way to do it?

A: The legs have multiple adjustment points. You may choose to extend both of the sections for the longest leg reach or just one of the sections for shorter legs. Also, the center column, the one your camera it attached to, is adjustable. So you can fully extend the legs and the center column for a very tall shot.
