3-section aluminium tripod kit

This Manfrotto kit pairs a 055XPRO3 three-section aluminium tripod with an XPRO ball head and 200PL quick-release plate. It is built for photographers who need a sturdy, adaptable support for varied shooting scenarios. The 90-degree centre column mechanism allows vertical or horizontal extension without disassembly, even with a camera attached. Quick Power Lock levers on each leg section enable fast, single-handed setup and strong locking rigidity.

Quick Power Lock legs and 90-degree column

The QPL levers release all leg sections in one movement and lock each section with a firm, comfortable grip, making deployment fast and stable. The centre column rotates from vertical to horizontal while housed inside the top casting, keeping the unit compact when stowed. No tools or disassembly are required to switch column orientation, so you can reposition quickly in the field. The ball head and 200PL plate complete a ready-to-shoot package.

90-degree centre column mechanism

The defining specification is the centre column that extends vertically or horizontally through 90 degrees without removing the camera. This single feature determines whether the kit suits your workflow for macro, architectural or low-angle work. If you only need a conventional vertical column, simpler tripods exist; this mechanism is the reason to choose this model.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 90° centre column is locked correctly after setup?

Extend the column vertically or horizontally until the mechanism clicks into place; the column should not rotate or slide when pressure is applied.

What components come in the kit and what must I purchase separately?

The kit includes the 055XPRO3 3-section aluminium tripod, the XPRO ball head, and a 200PL quick-release plate; no other items are included.

Which version of the 055 series should I choose for horizontal shooting?

Select the 055XPRO3 model because its 90° centre column mechanism allows horizontal column orientation without disassembly.
