Tripod includes a removable carrying handle for easier transport

The Manfrotto 055MF3 3-Section MagFiber Pro Tripod uses the same construction as the 3021PRO but uses different materials for the legs and all metal parts. The legs are constructed of 1.2mm carbon fiber tube combined with magnesium die casting, and quick-action lever locking collars made of magnesium die casting.

Like the 3021PRO, the 055MF3 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. 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.

Specifically designed for extreme outdoor assignments, the 055MF3 is ideal support for all SLR analog/digital camera equipment, medium format cameras and spotting scopes modified for digiscoping applications. 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-field 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.

Manfrotto 055MF3 3-Section MagFiber Pro Tripod Key Features

Removable Carrying Handle

Specifically designed for extreme outdoor assignments, the Manfrotto 055MF3 3-Section MagFiber Pro Tripod includes a removable carrying handle for easier transport. The strap 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.

Dual positioning center column

Carbon Fiber Leg Sections With Magnesium Castings

The best tripod is still the one you bring along. Lightweight tripods have not only become a mainstay, they are now a requisite for digital photographers. The trick is to lose weight and maintain maximum support without sacrificing stability, rigidity and reliability. The 055MF3's legs are constructed of 1.2mm carbon fiber tube combined with magnesium die casting, and quick-action lever locking collars made of magnesium die casting.

Dual Positioning Center Column

The 055MF3 tripod has a special center column support that can be easily used as a horizontal lateral arm. This allows the camera to be offset from leg position, and provides the simplest way possible to shoot from directly overhead.

Innovative Three-Faceted Center Column

The 055MF3 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.

Four Different Leg Angle Settings

The Manfrotto 055MF3 MagFiber Tripod offers tall and lightweight carbon fiber legs with four different leg angle options to achieve lower heights.

Quick action lever leg lock system (45º)

Redesigned Low-Angle Adapter Built Into The Center Column

The incredible flexibility of the leg angle setting (90°) has forced Manfrotto to design a special low-angle adapter that has been incorporated in the center column. The low-angle adapter forms the top section of the center column. It is easily detached without any tools by simply unscrewing the knob at the bottom of the column.

Rapid-Action Lever Leg Locks

Quick-action leg locks allow you to quickly and quietly set the tripod into position.
