The Manfrotto MT055XPRO3-3W Aluminum Tripod is a 3-section with a 3-way pan/tilt head. It has a load capacity of 17.6 lb and extends from 3.5" to 72.1". Its legs are secured by the Quick Power Locks. These updated flip locks increase the tripod's rigidity by 50%. The redesigned center column has a newly designed "one finger" operation, and also features Manfrotto's Easy Link attachment for accessories such as an LED light or a reflector. Adding to the versatility of this tripod, Manfrotto has designed the center column to be able to 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. This is a top of the line tripod for photographers and travelers alike.
