Manfrotto Professional Photography Tripods
The Manfrotto 058B replaces the 3258 and 3058 Super Studio Pro Tripods. The tallest tripod in the range, the Manfrotto Super Pro tripod is capable of providing a stable platform for cameras up to 44 pounds at a maximum height of 8.8 feet! On the other hand this giant is also capable of a minimum height of just 17.3 inches. The geared center column is self-locking. The legs are braced using telescopic struts for maximum rigidity and the ability to have individually adjustable and lockable angles. Rubber feet with retractable spiked feet and level are standard equipment. Ideal for all large format cameras.
The Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 4-Section Carbon Fiber Pro Tripod replaces the Manfrotto 055MF4 tripod. When folded, the 055CXPRO4 is extremely compact due to its 4-section legs. This tripod can even fit in a backpack. The legs and center column are constructed of 100% carbon fiber tubes. The 055CXPRO4 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 with a leveling bubble integrated on the magnesium top plate. The 055CXPRO4 features the renowned Q90° center column system (Quick Center Column System) patented by Manfrotto, that allows positioning the central column horizontally without having to remove the head or the column itself. Specifically designed for extreme outdoor assignments, the 055CXPRO4 is ideal support for all SLR analog/digital camera equipment, medium format cameras and spotting scopes modified for digiscoping applications.
The Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 3-Section Carbon Fiber Pro Tripod replaces the Manfrotto 055MF3 tripod. The legs and center column are constructed of 100% carbon fiber tubes. The 055CXPRO3 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 with a leveling bubble integrated on the magnesium top plate. The 055CXPRO3 features the renowned Q90° center column system (Quick Center Column System) patented by Manfrotto, that allows positioning the central column horizontally without having to remove the head or the column itself. Specifically designed for extreme outdoor assignments, the 055CXPRO3 is ideal support for all SLR analog/digital camera equipment, medium format cameras and spotting scopes modified for digiscoping applications.
Fast and easy to use, the 458B has the innovative Neotec rapid opening and closing mechanism. Just pull each leg downwards to open and automatically lock it in any position, without screws, knobs or levers to tighten or loosen. Then to fold it back up again, press the mechanism release button and push the leg closed. Combined with the 458B's high load capacity, great min-max height range and its full range of professional features, this makes it the ideal tripod for location work under pressure. The 458B has a built in carrying handle; a two-section center column for low-angle or normal shooting and four set leg angle positions. "Upside down" leg construction also stops the worst of the mud you're standing in from ending up inside the tripod.
The Manfrotto 058B replaces the popular 3251 and 3051 Triaut Studio Pro Tripods. The Manfrotto Studio Pro Tripod range has been specifically designed to hold shooting equipment that is bulky and heavy such as SLRs equipped with long tele lenses, and medium format or large format cameras. The 058B Triaut is one of the most exciting tripods in the Manfrotto range, featuring patented simultaneous release of all three legs or any individual leg. This permits the legs to be extended, the tripod leveled (a spirit level is provided) and locked in seconds without 'fiddling' with individual leg adjustments. Telescoping of the legs is also achieved by activating the same release. Other important features of this tripod are the ability to adjust all angles individually and secure them with Manfrotto telescopic struts. The Triaut tripod is the favored professional tripod for medium format up to 5 x 4". Rubber feet with retractable spiked feet are standard. Includes a carrying strap.
The Manfrotto 055MFV Carbon Fiber View Tripod offers tall and lightweight carbon fiber legs with four different leg angle options to achieve lower heights.

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.
The Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 Lightweight 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod replaces the 190MF4 tripod.

The 190CXPRO4 uses the same construction as the 190CXPRO3 and offers the same features, but the 190CXPRO4 is even more compact due to its 4-section legs. This is an ideal tripod to fit in a backpack and great support for advanced and SLR analog/digital camera equipment and spotting scopes.

The Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lightweight Tripod replaces the 190MF3 tripod. The 190CXPRO3 is extremely lightweight and combines great compactness and improved rigidity with maximum height. To reduce the weight of the tripod without any compromises on stability and rigidity, the legs are made of unique carbon fiber tubes combined with quick-action, die-cast magnesium lever locks. The top spider uses the patented Q90° Quick Center Column System, which is able to achieve four leg angle settings and convert the center column to a lateral arm. The magnesium top plate is designed to maximize lightness and resistance and offers an integrated leveling bubble. Lightweight magnesium is used for die-cast parts.
All aluminum in construction and unrivalled in stability, the 475B Pro Geared Tripod incorporates a unique center brace structure system, reliable quick-action leg locks, non-rollback, three-faceted center column, spirit level and rubber/metal spiked feet. The revolutionary center brace system can be operated in a symmetric or asymmetric way. This allows you to achieve two important results: fast positioning by locking the braces so that all of the legs will spread to the same angle and open instantly, or individual setting of the angle of each leg for the ultimate in tripod flexibility. To avoid annoying delays in leveling the tripod, the telescopic center braces have been designed with two "click stop" positions that allow you to easily find the same spread angle on all three legs.
