This MT055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber Tripod Professional Photo Kit from Manfrotto empowers your unique photographic style by combining the 3-section carbon fiber tripod with the MHXPRO-3W 3 Way Pan-Tilt Head, both completed by the new Move quick release system. This is an ideal kit for photographers looking for a fast and easy carbon-fiber tripod experience incorporating the latest technology.
The Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a 3-section support that replaces the 055CXPRO3 tripod. It has a load capacity of 44 lb and extends from 3.5" to 67". Its carbon fiber legs are secured by the Quick Power Locks. These updated flip locks increase the tripod's rigidity by 50% compared to its predecessor.
A redesigned center column has a "one finger" operation, and includes an Easy Link 3/8"-16 attachment for attaching accessories such as an LED light or a reflector via a compatible arm. The center column can be positioned horizontally, allowing for low-angle and macro photography. The upper disc where a tripod head is mounted has been redesigned as well, and now has a bull's eye bubble level that rotates 360° so you can locate it where you can see it. This allows you to level your camera on both the horizontal and vertical planes.
This XPRO 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head from Manfrotto has a load capacity of 26.5 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. It includes an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate. RC2 compatible quick release plates such as the 200PL-14 can be removed from the head by pulling the cam lock's spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be quickly reattached. The cam lock also features a safety catch to prevent the 200PL-14, or another compatible quick release plate from accidentally disconnecting.
Cameras, sport optics, or camcorders that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the quick release plate before securing it to the pan-and-tilt head. The head can be rotated 360°, tilted 90° forwards or 30° backwards, as well as 90° sideways for portrait orientation. Each of these three movements function independently of each other, have dedicated control handles, and can be locked into place. In addition to integrating the ability to individually lock the movements by twisting each corresponding handle's rubberized grip, the telescoping control handles for both tilt functions can also be retracted while the head is not in use for more convenient storage or transport.
To promote fast and repeatable device positioning, this XPRO 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head also includes a dedicated angle scale for rotational movements that is designed for easy visibility, as well as dedicated control knobs set under the telescoping control handles that can each be rotated to apply tension control to either the backwards and forwards, or sideways tilt movements at any time.
The MOVE Quick Release Catcher System Set from Manfrotto is a unique circular quick release system set that uses a single intuitive gesture to operate—just drop the plate in and start shooting. The knurled twist lock collar can be turned to provide a more secure lock or twisted in the opposite direction to release the plate in a single movement. Precisely engineered technologies mean a lighter ergonomic design, suitable for use with tripod heads, sliders, tripods, stabilizers, and more. It is designed to work with the entire MOVE ecosystem of support products.
The compact circular plate features a 1/4"-20 threaded mounting screw and a storage space for a 3/8"-16 bushing adapter, so one will always be on hand if needed. It also incorporates an anti-rotation set screw to help secure any mounted head or device from coming unscrewed from the plate.
