Manfrotto Carbon Fibre 3-Section Tripod and XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with Top Lock Plate Bundle

Please be aware that this is for the tripod and head only. Anything else featured in the stock images are there for illustrative purposes only and are not included.

The new 055 carbon fibre-3 section photo tripod offers outstanding rigidity and is incredibly lightweight. This engineering masterpiece from Italy has been manufactured to very high standards, and features a 90° column that can be extended vertically or horizontally so you can shoot with greater versatility.

With 100% carbon fibre tubes and an innovative Quick Power Lock (QPL) leg-locking mechanism, you can be assured incredible stability and rigidity under any conditions. This tripod not only absorbs vibrations, it's also much lighter to carry around than the aluminium version. That mean it is a very good choice for travel photographers.

Don't worry about disassembling your camera, because you can extend the column without your equipment attached. Open it single-handedly in only one movement, and position each leg to a pre-set angle so you can frame and shoot more precisely. The 055 carbon fibre-3 section has an innovative bubble level that rotates freely around the centre column, enabling you to position your camera so that nothing obscures it. Connect an LED light, flash, reflector or another video accessory via the Easy Link connector, which can be fitted to an extending arm or bracket. Make your tripod a versatile, practical mobile studio.

XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with Top Lock Plate
Outstanding performance and security for your camera gear. The Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head, with its stand-out design and innovative technical features, gives you guaranteed security when photographing with heavy camera gear. It has an effective triple locking system to keep your device stable, and three wedges that prevent drift by enclosing and locking the sphere.

Look forward to shake-free shots every time you shoot with this tripod head. With two levelling bubbles you can make quick adjustments with the locking knobs open, and keep your camera perfectly balanced with the friction control. Frame and shoot with greater flexibility, and achieve much sharper images that will help you stand out from the crowd.

The XPRO Ball Head offers remarkable portability for photographers on the go. It has a sturdy yet lightweight magnesium body that is only 0.52kg. However, it can support a very impressive payload of up to 10kg so you can use it with a wide variety of devices. The new polymer rings also represent a substantial improvement on previous versions, and ensure smoother, more accurate camera movement without unpleasant grease.

For a fast, effortless setup, this camera is inserted from above rather than from the side. A safety mechanism is released when the plate engages with the clamp, which prevents your equipment from falling and becoming damaged.

The Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head includes an innovative Arca-Swiss-compatible MSQ6PL plate and a Top Lock, and has been manufactured to high standards in Italy.
