Statív Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3

The Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 is a 3-section carbon fibre tripod engineered for photographers and videographers who need a stable, lightweight support for digital and film cameras. Constructed from 100% carbon fibre tubes with magnesium castings, the tripod combines low weight with increased rigidity and vibration damping. It accepts loads up to 9 kg, extends from 90 mm to 1700 mm, and weighs approximately 2 kg. A 90° centre column mechanism enables both vertical and horizontal column positioning for expanded framing options, and an Easy Link connector on the top casting allows attachment of accessories such as lights or reflectors.

Advantages

The tripod’s full carbon fibre construction and magnesium parts reduce weight while improving stiffness compared with aluminium models. The QPL (Quick Power Lock) leg locking levers permit fast, single-handed opening and provide stronger section locking for greater stability. The integrated 90° centre column offers quick switching between vertical and horizontal orientations without disassembly, and the freely rotating bubble level on the centre column top provides easy, unobstructed leveling during setup. An Easy Link connector expands accessory compatibility for photo and video work.

Suitable for

• Landscape, architecture and studio photography
• Macro and product photography with low-angle or horizontal column setups
• Portrait and event photography requiring stable support for heavier camera + lens combinations (up to 9 kg)
• On-location video and mobile studio setups using mounted lights or reflectors

How to use

Extend the legs using the Quick Power Lock levers and set each leg angle with the leg angle selectors to achieve the desired height and stability. Unlock and raise the centre column vertically for standard shooting or rotate and extend it horizontally to change to a low-angle or overhead framing; both orientations can be adjusted without removing the head or camera. Use the rotating bubble level to level the tripod from any viewing angle. Attach compatible heads and accessories to the top casting and connect lights or reflectors via the Easy Link connector when required.

Recommendations

For best stability, set the legs fully and use the shortest practical centre column extension; when shooting with heavy camera and lens combinations (close to the 9 kg limit), position the legs widely and avoid fully extending the column. Regularly check and tighten the QPL levers and leg angle selectors before use, and transport the tripod in a protective bag to prevent damage to the carbon fibre tubes and magnesium components.
