The Manfrotto 055XPRO3 tripod redefines the three section aluminium tripod thanks to its flexible 90 degrees centre column mechanism. It can be extended vertically or horizontally in just seconds, which means photographers and videographers can compose their shoots with even high flexibility. You will never have to worry about disassembling your tripod and removing your camera when switching between horizontal and vertical orientation. The horizontal column mechanism can be easily extended when you need to shoot at the last-minute and is housed in the tripod's top casting to keep it as compact as possible when not in use. The legs of the Manfrotto 055XPRO3 tripod are also easily adjustable and extendible thanks to their effective and cleverly designed Quick Power Lock. This lock quickly blocks or unblocks each leg section so that they can be opened single-handedly in one movement. With a powerful locking mechanism and ergonomic leg angle selectors, you can keep your tripod even more rigid. Frame and shoot more precisely with the bubble level, which rotates freely around the centre column. You will be able to position it so that neither your mounted head nor equipment will be obscured. Never let anything get in the way of your composition. The Manfrotto 055XPRO3 tripod also has an easy link connector which can support a photo or video accessory such as a reflector, LED light or another piece of equipment. This item can be easily inserted onto the extending arm or acket, turning your tripod into a versatile mobile studio. Review: Absolutely love it. Good quality - Love it. Very stable and good quality. Took it mostly for overhead shots and it’s really good. Worth the money. I only wish it had a head ball. Had to buy one so extra money. Review: Got this tripod (MT055CXPRO3) to replace my heavy duty aluminum tank of a tripod. Gained about 4 lbs of freedom - it literally feels like feather compared to the old one. 4 lbs does not sound like a lot, but if you are hiking with your photo backpack full of gear, you know that 4 lbs can save your back. Used it on a Death Valley 8 day trip - no issues whatsoever, very steady, solid and well made tripod. The fact that salt does not do any damage to Carbon Fiber was a great plus. The ability to place the center post parallel to the ground and being able to completely flatten out the legs is fantastic. One of the complaints I've read about is potential breakdown of the red sleeve that holds the center post - specifically the plastic bracket that holds the two aluminum pieces together. While I can see it happening, I am thinking that a really quick and easy fix would be to have a thin wire or a zip tie - so not too much worried about that. And as one of the other reviewers mentioned and I vouch for that - watch your fingers as you are snapping the clamps shut - you will learn to respect them! Also, fully extended (all leg sections, not center post), this tripod is surprisingly tall - I am 5'9" and with camera mounted on a vertical pistol grip, full extension is above my eye level (for the viewfinder). ## Features - The everlasting ergonomic design ensures extraordinaryease of use - The legs of the 055XPRO3 tripod are also fast to extend and adjust, thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers that block and unblock each leg section - The top casting of the 055XPRO3 has an easy link connector for supporting a photo or video accessory - QPL's (Quick Power Levers) design also offers more powerful locking of each section, meaning the tripod is more stable and rigid than with traditional lever designs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IQ7PT50 | | Aspect Ratio | Unknown | | Audio Recording | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,808 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #193 in Complete Tripod Units | | Brand | Manfrotto | | Built-In Media | MT055XPRO3 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Continuous shooting speed | 10 | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,635) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 10 Years | | Effective Still Resolution | 14 | | Features | Lightweight, Compact, Flexible, Rotatable | | Folded Size | 24 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05554442255887, 07387809272153 | | Has Self-Timer | No | | Head Type | Ball Heads | | Item Length | 66.9 Inches | | Item Weight | 2.5 Kilograms | | Leg Diameter | 2.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Manfrotto | | Material Type | Carbon Fiber | | Maximum Height | 170 Centimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage, EnhancedContent | | Minimum Height | 9 Centimeters | | Model Name | MT055XPRO3 | | Model Number | MT055XPRO3 | | Number of leg sections | 3 | | Screen Size | 1.5 Inches | | UPC | 696719338253 798196428806 719821364634 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 MONTH | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Weight Limit | 3.3 Pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Manfrotto - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Camera - **Material:** Carbon Fiber - **Special features:** Lightweight, Compact, Flexible, Rotatable ## Images ![MT055XPRO3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413DxMH30NL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely love it. Good quality *by O***V on 16 May 2021* Love it. Very stable and good quality. Took it mostly for overhead shots and it’s really good. Worth the money. I only wish it had a head ball. Had to buy one so extra money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by V***D on 12 November 2016* Got this tripod (MT055CXPRO3) to replace my heavy duty aluminum tank of a tripod. Gained about 4 lbs of freedom - it literally feels like feather compared to the old one. 4 lbs does not sound like a lot, but if you are hiking with your photo backpack full of gear, you know that 4 lbs can save your back. Used it on a Death Valley 8 day trip - no issues whatsoever, very steady, solid and well made tripod. The fact that salt does not do any damage to Carbon Fiber was a great plus.

This Manfrotto tripod sets up quick and easy, and is pretty simple to adjust. It is very stable and can be reconfigured in all sorts of different ways. I can make sure that my camera is level all the time, so that I don't have to spend time re-straightening in post I am still learning all the different ways that I can set it up. It is amazing how low to the ground that you can set it up for close up photography as well as changing your prospective on a landscape shot. Yes, it is a little pricy, but hey, if you spend a lot of money on a camera, don't you want to make sure that it is setting on a sturdy tripod? You don't want to want to walk into a product shoot with thousands of dollars in camera and lens equipment and put it on a $19.99 tripod. Not to mention, in post, think of all the time it will save from having to correct a "not so straight" picture. I did a lot of research on this tripod, and couldn't really find too many bad comments about this product. It is a little heavy if you are planning on carrying it around all day. I bought a Manfrotto tripod bag to put it all in (it all fits in there just fine), so I can keep my hands free if I need to. It feels like a good sturdy build, and I believe that this tripod should last me a long long time. I highly recommend watching some of the videos online that explain the different ways to use this tripod. All in all, I think that you will probably like this tripod if you are an enthusiast or a pro. But hey, if you are just starting out and you only want to buy one tripod that is going to last you a long time...maybe this would be a good choice... I hope this review helps. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manfrotto 3-Section Camera Tripod, Carbon Fiber Photography Accessories, Travel Tripod for Content Creation, Professional Photography,MT055XPRO3 - Manfrotto 200PL RC2-System Quick Release Plate with 1/4"-20 Screw and 3/8" Bushing Adapter - Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head with 200PL Quick Release Plate, High Precision, Compatible with Photography Equipment, for Camera Tripod, for Content Creation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/266650366-mt055xpro3](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/266650366-mt055xpro3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
