Pros:Stable, beautiful and the central hub opens a world
Cons:Plastic leg widening buttons
Opinion:I come from a cheap tripod and shoot with a D3 + Tamron 15-30 f2.8 + 150 mm filters, that is the worst possible kit, totally front-heavy. I then proceeded with the purchase of this object as I wanted to understand what it means to have a quality stand. Combined with a head BH-Q6 (I would say the new model of the BHQ2) stabilizes optimally, making the head a hair in defect. The 3-segment version I own is heavy (2.5 kg) and bulky but I don't care, I just want the equipment to be safe, plus I've already brought it a week on all the beaches of Salento and I had no problems, the weight suits you (at least you don't have to walk for more than 5 hours in the mountains). But the turning point was to discover the central junction of the column. At first I was skeptical, I saw the central column as a clutter for photos close to the ground and I thought that the 90 ° joint was marketing. On the contrary, the configuration is very solid and I discovered that at 90 ° the ball-head becomes a fantastic hybrid head: if the tripod is in bubble we rotate the plate at 90 ° and meet the classic constraint of the head body that locks us perfectly in the bubble and we exploit the same interlocking as a new pan mechanism. Later thanks to the original movement of pan that has A DEGREE of freedom we put everything in bubble in 2 seconds. Fantastic. What if it is difficult to level the stand? Simple, we leave the tripod slightly inclined towards the opposite side of the head so that the constraint of the body does not block the movement and we repeat the same procedure with slightly lower effectiveness. And to think that I was going to saw it is central column ...
Opinion:I bought this tripod two years ago, along with the head BHQ2. On the tripods in question you can only speak positively, it is robust, usually, my Canon 6D did not move a millimeter. The problem, but here the fault was mine in the choice, is that this type of easel is fine if you transport it in the car or carry it on your shoulder for short journeys. Impossible to think of wearing a diet like this in the mountains, the difference with a carbon tripods of a 1 kg you feel it! I carried it on the Three Peaks, I had 4-5 kg of photographic material and 3 kg of tripod, then two water bottles and really little else, it was not easy at all and I have strength. Therefore, if you want to buy a tripod to take in your car without having to walk for a long time, the choice is great. If you want to buy a travel tripods for me this tripod is too heavy and I suggest you buy one maybe carbon. Otherwise this Manfrotto is great for stability and robustness.
Opinion:Awaited by a lot and finally bought in the Black Friday of 2018 for 220 euros including head Mhxpro-BHQ2, same head mounted on a lightweight Giotto's 4-section with folding Gampe, long just 43 cm against the 73 of this 055. Having already a light travel easel we needed (we take two, me and my wife..) A second stand stable and heavy to use according to needs. This 055 (aluminum, 3 sections) I think is the definitive tripod. Our Nikon D750 with the Nikon 200-500 F/5.6 is absolutely stable, even with a slight wind. A sensation of solidity never heard before with any other tripod. We were oriented for a 190 but, reflecting well, for a few euros more, this 055 is worth all the expense. Weighing 3 kg, against the 2 kg of our Giotto's travel, but all in all worth the effort. In my opinion the ideal kit, having no budget limits, should be a tripod 4 sections in carbon (short and light) to lug around and a 3 sections in aluminium (heavy) for the rest.

Cons:Absence bag for transport, weight (but not too much)
Opinion:Found at an absurdly low price (about € 135), the feeling of stability and robustness is immediate ... completely open it is comfortable even for me that I am over 1.90 tall ... yes ok weighs 2.5 kg ... but sincerely, tried in an excursion in the mountains ... have on your shoulders 10 kg or 9 ... is not that make all this difference ... and you find yourself a tripod that "holds" !!!! It is not comparable with gitzo or similar, but for an amateur photographer (also evolved) is the top !!! Highly recommended !!!!
Pros:Manganese version, really light, despite the enclosed dimension. Stable and versatile thanks to the column joint.
Cons:It will be the fact that it is the manganese version and the intrinsic lightness of the object transmits the wrong feeling of fragility, I will come from a 028, it will also have Gitzo ... Manfrotto seems to have made some general quality choices rather questionable.
Opinion:The stand is absolutely efficient, lightweight, weighs less than my old aluminum 190, stable and "mobile", in the sense that thanks to its wide and ingenious movements it can also be supported in disparate level and the camera can stand from three cm to the ground up to the meter and the abundant eighty. As I have already anticipated, I replaced two stands, one too small and the bigger, too big but a few generations ago. Frankly find in the plastic control stand is not the best, but in fact it works really well and ... if I can not say that's all right, I can not say that it sucks. To give an answer, I would say that this truck is light and looks current.
Pros:It does not move a millimeter; Folding central column. Practice the opening and easy positioning
Cons:If you can consider a "counter" inconvenience in transportation
Opinion:Found on a photocopy with a great offer (around 230 € including a 3-way head) I've tried it on several occasions for the obvious impossibility of BeFree to withstand the weight of the Canvas without moving. in a particular one, climbed on a rock of the Tuscan coast during a storm, he did not even give me a photo with micromosos.rn I preferred the 3 section version because it really is the feeling of absolute stability. Of course traveling is a bit unlikely. if you are looking for lightness and practicality, this is not the ideal choice. The tripod elongation is instantaneous.
Pros:Robustness, stability, height at full aperture and ability to get it at ground level
Cons:If I really have to find one: failure to carry bag.
Opinion:I bought a little over a year ago, mainly due to finally have a good companion for the macro (before it was using an older model that I had at home), and I must say that just gave me great satisfaction. It will not budge, it is practical and versatile. I would rather he had not the central column but this is something that concerns only me, do not use it and never to put him to the ground level is a use intralcio.rnLo with a 300 f / 4 for animals and goes meravigliosamente.rnSe for you weight is not an issue and you do not make us hiking in the mountains, and seek strength and stability first and foremost, taking no mistake. You can then add various accessories thanks to predispositions for hooks and screws.
Pros:build quality, folding central column at 90 °, quality of materials, stability
Cons:Nothing
Opinion:Great tripods from every point of view, very solid, is worth all the money to which it is proposed. I use it with a ball head 496RC2 and geared head 410, never any kind problem. And 'heavy but when I place I forget the trouble of bringing him on their shoulders. Good insight that of providing the thread for the attachment of tripods.
Pros:quality construction, weight (explain below), adapt to situations, folding central column at 90 °.
Cons:Lack of a carry bag in the package purchase
Opinion:Great tripod that I bought at a good price along with the ball head Sirui K30X (excellent choice suggested by other reviews in the forum). Since it also use as the basis for astrophotography one of the things that I appreciate is the weight not too low that stabilizes more camera and lens from the vibrations. And 'stable and sturdy in all situations. The telescopic legs are solid and comfortable to use with quick release clips practices.
Opinion:Thanks a downward price on Amazon I decided to replace the old, but always reliable, 055 with the new model. The construction is taken care of and provided with ball-head Sirui K30X has endured without flinching the weight of a Nikon D3X and 400AFS 2.8 (equipment of a friend). With more time I'll try the device for the tilting of the central column. I am fully satisfied with the purchase and dell'accopiata with excellent Sirui head.
Pros:Stability, excellent construction and materials, maximum height, folding central column, 10 years guarantee.
Cons:Nobody.
Opinion:Really a good buy, I am very satisfied, I bought a kit with the valid ball head Manfrotto MH055M0-Q2. rnInizialmente I was torn between this and the cheapest (but still valid) 190XPro3, I went into the store and trying them both my choice fell on 055XPro3.rnGrande stability (also fully open and extended column) and construction, gives the right ' impression to have a reliable product on which to mount the cameras and that theme also special weather conditions, such as long exposures during days with strong vento.rnInoltre through product registration on the site Manfrotto will enjoy 10 years of weight and garanzia.rnIl clutter are plus points in my opinion, give greater stability and security! I recommend it to anyone looking for a professional tripod without many compromises!
Opinion:Overall a great tripod and also well built, stability is impressive, beautiful new tilting system central rod in the position of 90 degrees, and very convenient to have the opportunity to stand in the stands by a special thread on the stand, for me is a great stand, recommend it with flying colors.
