Opinion:I've done everything, I took him everywhere, worn, scraped and scratched by sand and rocks ... and works well as the first day, he never loosened and never gave even a gancio..per people like me who like to stay in the action, even in the waves, highly recommended ... and then, with the second column practically put your camera on the ground ... if you find it used buy it without hesitation.
Pros:robust, stable, minimum height from the ground using "no" column
Cons:weight
Opinion:Used for years and only recently replaced with a lighter model after the transition to mirrorless system. rnNonostante years of use still looked new, both aesthetically and in terms of mechanics. The only maintenance performed - among other things at once - it was grease the mechanisms that release the 3 sections shorter cavalletto.rnLe consisting of "padding" which are 2 of the 3 tubes get really appreciate when working at low temperatures isolating good cold aluminum, or when you take the stand leaning against the spalla.rnAltra relevant characteristic the possibility to remove the column and replace it with a threaded connection (supplied) to the length of a few centimeters that can reach a height really minimal strength terra.rnLa you pay for but in terms of weight (and size): take it back for long trips (but also for a few hours of wandering as a tourist) is inconvenient if not prohibitive. Difficult to carry clipped to a backpack and tiring to hold for long, his impiego ideal in locations easily accessible by car and to make shots that do not involve the excessive removal of the medium.
Opinion:The XB 055 has long been my main tripod; has a very low price but has been able to sustain without problems 1DsIII + 600 f / 4! The column can be easily shortened, dropping flat on the ground (much preferred this system over the column 'tilting' of 90 degrees). The main problem of this tripod is the weight (2.3kg, which become abundant once mounted 3 head) and bulk; I recommend it for those who do not travel long distances (es.foto from the shed), while it is not a good choice for hiking and travel.
