Manfrotto 055MF4 055 MAG FIBER TRIPOD 4 SCT

Specifi cally designed for extreme outdoor assignments, this tripod uses the same construction as the 055PRO but uses different materials for the legs and all metal parts. Like the 055PRO, the 055MF4 has a three-faceted aluminum center column, which can offset the pressure of the locking system and the torsion caused while in the horizontal position. The legs are constructed of 1.2 mm carbon fi ber tube combined with magnesium die-casting, quick-action lever locking collars made of magnesium die-casting. Each leg can be set independently in one of four angle settings using the dedicated quick-action leg angle selector. The top spider is made of magnesium die-casting, and includes the clamping system for the dual position center column plus a built-in bubble level. To assure the best thermal resistance, all parts have been assembled using a proven pressure clamping technology that eliminates failure-prone glue joints for greater durability and in-the-fi eld serviceability. A hand-padded carrying strap, supplied with the tripod, can also operate like a hook to hang weights from in order to increase the stability of the tripod during shoots in extreme wind conditions. It is ideal support for all SLR analog/digital camera equipment, medium format cameras and spotting scopes modifi ed for digiscoping applications.

Key Features:

• leg sections use three-faceted tubing for greater anti-torsional resistance
• solid tripod/head plate has an industry standard 3/8" screw and three angled grub screws which stop the head from unscrewing accidentally in use and also block unwanted panoramic rotation or play between tripod and head
• lightweight magnesium is used for die-cast parts. Magnesium has a density of 1.74g/cm³ as opposed to aluminum's 2.70g/cm³ - a 35% reduction. Despite its lower weight, magnesium is more rigid than aluminum, and has the same strength per volume.
• included carrying handle makes the tripod more comfortable to transport and stays conveniently and unobtrusively attached during use
• anti-rotation tubing and leg collars make for a tripod (or monopod) that's easier and faster to open, position and close. Manfrotto uses several different types of anti-rotation system - on Magfiber and Digi series tripods, the elliptical or three-faceted shape of the concentric tubes means they cannot rotate, while on round-tubed tripods small protrusions down the length of the tube keep sections perfectly aligned
• flip lever leg locks make opening, positioning and closing fast and easy. The tension of the locking mechanism is user-adjustable, and all parts can be easily serviced or replaced.
• Manfrotto's carbon fiber tubing is popular among outdoor photographers because it's light in weight, but not everyone knows it's also more rigid and supports heavier loads than aluminum - giving it a double advantage.
