Review Summary

Tripod is very solid and good value, but the ball head is perhaps only a "9." It too, however, is a very good value.

This combination of 055 tripod with pro ball head is great.i can see where this is an awesome set up for photography. I use it for a firearm tripod for coyote hunting and it works flawless.

It's solid but too heavy to carry on a hike or as a travel tripod. I returned it.

It is solidly built and easy to use. I like that I can use it at so many different heights and angles including flat lays.

I needed a heavy duty, sturdy tripod without it being too heavy to carry around. This model, Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum 3 Section Tripod really fits the bill. It's obvious well made and should last for years to come.

I wrote separate reviews for the tripod and ball head. this si for the package. Both the tripod and head are beautiful pieces of equipment, and they work extremely well together. I recommend them both, and especially together.

When I adjust one of the knobs on the ball head it sometimes hits the level bubble on the tripod preventing it from being fully adjustable. This is a big inconvenience. This head and tripod do not seem to be a good match. I do not recommend it.

Great tripod! This is my first professional tripod and I wished I had upgraded sooner. I'm glad I made the right choice without breaking the bank.

I am very happy with this tripod. The minor adjustment knobs are a great options within a budget. I saw a couple reviews that had issues with the knobs falling apart but honestly, anytime you completely unscrew anything there will be issues...just be mindful. This new version is tremendously lighter and more agile than its predecessor...I'm super happy!

From professional photography to videography, the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with Horizontal Column is a reliable and versatile tool that delivers exceptional stability and flexibility. Crafted from high-quality aluminum, this sturdy tripod is designed to withstand the demands of various shooting environments while maintaining a lightweight profile for easy transport.
One of the standout features of the MT055XPRO3 is its innovative 90-degree center column mechanism. This unique design allows the column to extend not only vertically but also horizontally, unlocking a plethora of framing and shooting possibilities. Whether you're capturing breathtaking landscapes or shooting professional-grade videos, this feature makes the MT055XPRO3 an indispensable asset for a wide array of applications.
The horizontal column mechanism is cleverly housed within the tripod's top casting for a compact design, yet it can be quickly and effortlessly extended whenever required. The transition between vertical and horizontal column orientation is seamless and requires no disassembly, even with a camera attached.
The MT055XPRO3's legs are also quick to extend and adjust, courtesy of the Quick Power Lock (QPL) levers. These levers enable a single-handed opening of all leg sections in one swift action, while their special design ensures a more powerful locking of each section. This results in a tripod that is more stable and rigid than those with traditional lever designs.
For added convenience, intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently set to any of the preset angles, providing significant positioning freedom. A built-in bubble level at the top of the center column ensures precise framing. This bubble level can rotate freely around the center column, allowing for easy visibility without obstructing the mounted head and camera or interfering with their controls.
The top casting of the MT055XPRO3 also features an Easy Link connector, perfect for supporting a photo or video accessory such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other equipment. This transforms the tripod into a practical mobile studio, further enhancing its versatility and utility in various shooting scenarios. Experience the difference of superior stability and flexibility with the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with Horizontal Column.
