MANFROTTO PHOTOGRAPHIC TRIPODS
Manfrotto 055 Series Tripods
The Manfrotto 055 tripod range are sturdy, designed for analog and digital SLR cameras, also suitable for heavier medium format cameras. The 055 range are also adaptable for use with professional MINI DV camcorders.

Designed for the professional photographer.

The 055XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal centre column feature even easier to use.

Designed for traditional or digital compact, SLR and small medium format cameras.

Adaptable for small camcorders

Allows low angle shooting

Offers speedy set up with quick action, lever-type leg locks.

Two leg warmers.

Manfrotto 055XB Classic Tripod

Built on the same ergonomically improved design as the 055XPROB, but without the horizontal centre column feature.

The 055XB is lighter in weight and slightly more compact.

The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved.

With the leg angle presets, allow the camera to reach all intermediate heights from min-max extension.

Manfrotto Neotec Pro Photo Tripod
While designing the Neotec tripod the design team consciously ignored how most tripods work and thought instead how a tripod should work. The result was a tripod that opens easily and quickly then closes effortlessly. The leg locking mechanisim was an inovative design, housed inside the legs, that works by exerting more locking power the heavier the weight pushing down from above.

Manfrotto Heavy Duty Geared Centre column tripods
The larger tripods in the Manfrotto range are as ideally suited to daily use in studio as they are out on location.

These larger tripods also offer a greater height of elevation for your equipment when required.

and rubber/metal spiked feet.

The revolutionary centre 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 levelling the tripod, the telescopic centre braces have been designed with two "click stop" positions that allow you to easily find the same spread angle on all three legs.

The second improvement has been made to the leg locking system.


058 Triaut tripod

The 058 Triaut is one of the most exciting tripods in the whole Manfrotto range.

Patented simultaneous release of all three legs or any individual leg. This permits the legs to be extended, the tripod levelled and locked in seconds without 'fiddling' with individual leg adjustments. Telescoping the legs is achieved by activating the same release.

Other important features of this very professional tripod are the ability to adjust all angles individually and secure them with Manfrotto telescopic struts.
