Manfrotto 055XB + 128RC Classic Tripod Black

The Manfrotto 055XB provides speedy set-up coupled with added security with quick action, lever-type leg locks, low angle adapter and leg warmers.

The Manfrotto 055XB with 128RC tripod system builds on the success of the 3011/3021 series, but has been redesigned to offer even better ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism, and improved quick action leg locks.

The Manfrotto 055XB is one of the most versatile and popular tripods in the Manfrotto range. The Manfrotto MF 055XB is ideal for medium format and single-lens-reflex (SLR) cameras whether digital or film.

The Manfrotto 055XB Classic Tripod is lightweight and portable enough to take in the field, yet strong enough for a medium format camera, small view cameras, spotting scope and the latest generation of digital video cameras.
 
Built on the same ergonomically improved design as the 055XPROB, but without the horizontal center column feature, the MF 055XB is lighter in weight and slightly more compact. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved. The leg angle presets allow the camera to reach all intermediate heights from min-max extension.

The MF 055XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal center column feature even easier to use. By extending the column to itshighest vertical position, it can be swung around to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever.

The Manfrotto MF 055XB Classic Tripod Black and 128RC Micro Fluid Video Head are very convenient to use together. There are more spotting scopes sitting on top of this tripod legs and head than perhaps any in existence. Combination of Bogen Manfrotto MF-055XB Tripod (formally 3021BN) and Bogen Manfrotto 128-RC Micro fluid head will support the largest spotting scope, even with a camera attached. The Bogen Manfrotto 128RC head (included) is a lightweight fluid head offering smooth horizontal and vertical panning. Bogen Manfrotto 128 RC Micro fluid head also features a quick release plate for convenience and a security lock to prevent accidental release.
