055XB Black Classic 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.

Rapid-Action Lever Leg Locks

Quick-action leg locks allow you to quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The ergonomics of the quick action leg locks has also been greatly improved.
