The 055XV Tripod replaces Manfrotto's 055V Aluminum View Tripod. Lightweight, sturdy and portable, the Manfrotto 055XV View Tripod was built on the same ergonomically improved design as the 055XB. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks have been greatly improved. The Manfrotto 055XV Aluminum View Tripod offers aluminum legs with four different leg angle options to achieve lower heights. This special version of the 055XB tripod offers the features most commonly requested by birders and nature photographers. The 055XB's simple, functional, no-frills design omits the 055XB tripod's PRO top casting (not normally used in conjunction with fluid heads and spotting scopes) and its split center column (because low angle shooting isn't as useful for birdwatchers). Foam rubber padding protects your hands against the heat and cold and quick-action leg locks quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The 055XV features stainless steel fixings and has a painted dark green non-glare finish.

Foam rubber padding

Designed for everyone from the bird watching enthusiast to the professional nature photographer, Manfrotto's VIEW series of tripod kits are designed to withstand the most extreme environments and provide years of trouble-free support. They are lightweight, rugged, compact and portable, making them ideal to carry into the most remote places on earth. Similar to the 055MFV, this aluminum model provides the same outstanding performance at a slightly higher overall weight, but lower price.

Manfrotto 055XV Aluminum View Tripod Key Features

Four Different Leg Angle Pre-sets

Four pre-set independent leg angles -- 23°, 45°, 65° and 88° -- give the tripod great positioning flexibility and versatility, and allow all intermediate heights from the stated minimum to maximum levels to be reached. Stability is assured at all four angles by the spring-loaded step mechanism. Each of the legs can be set to a different angle of spread for more flexible, versatile positioning and to help keep camera equipment well-balanced over the tripod's center of gravity. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism has been greatly improved.
