This MT055CXPRO4 Carbon Fiber Tripod Professional Photo Kit from Manfrotto empowers your unique photographic style by combining the 4-section carbon fiber tripod with the BHQ2 XPRO Ball 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.
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 Magnesium Ball Head from Manfrotto features 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 instantly reattached. The cam lock also features a safety catch to prevent the 200PL-14, or another compatible quick release plate from accidentally disconnecting.
The XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate has a load capacity of 33.1 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. By loosening this XPRO Magnesium Ball Head's primary locking knob, its ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. Toward the ball head's base is a secondary locking knob that controls the ability to rotate the head 360°. An additional knob opposite the secondary locking knob can be rotated to apply tension control to the ball-and-socket joint's movements.
Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the 200PL-14 quick release plate which measures 1.7 x 2.1 x 0.4" and has a rubberized, non-slip surface.
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.
