Manfrotto 055XB Classic Tripod

Boasting versatility and portability without reducing performance, the 055 XB Classic Tripod in 3 leg sections is fashioned over the well-known ergonomic design of the 055XPROB. The 100% carbon fibre full aluminum frame with a weight of 2.3 kg is the ideal platform for cameras weighing up to 7 kg. The tripod is also equipped with a low angle adapter at the bottom of the centre column. Whether you’re shooting at a 23° decline or an 88° incline, this tripod has got you covered. Having a 178 cm maximum height and 7 cm minimum height that can be folded to up to 61.5 cm, this version is sturdy and portable enough to take in the field. A tripod known for its versatility is enhanced by partnering it with 222 Joystick head, 804RC2 3-way head, 322RC2 Grip Ball Head, Manfrotto 128RC Head, or a Manfrotto 701HDV Head and Manfrotto 80cm Tripod Bag.

Magfiber leg angles
MagFiber tripods have three pre-set independent leg angles for positioning flexibility and good reach of all intermediate heights between the stated minimum and maximum levels. The improved spring-loaded, easy to use step mechanism offers greater stability and security than the CarbonOne push-button system it replaces.

Tubes: 100% Carbon Fibre
Manfrotto tubes are made of 100% carbon fibre in order to reach high quality standards and high levels of performance, rigidity and lightness. Carbon fibre tubes can be very different in quality, depending on the production process and the percent of carbon fibre material present in the tubes. Manfrotto chose to reach the maximum quality using 100% carbon fibre and the pull winding technology (a special production process able to maximise performance, resistance and reliability).
