MANFROTTO MT055XPRO3

Love it. Very stable and good quality. Took it mostly for overhead shots and it’s really good. Worth the money. I only wish it had a head ball. Had to buy one so extra money.

I used to think that I had a pretty good tripod that I used for my product photography...but then I found the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod and I paired it up with the Manfrotto MHXPRO3W head and now, I realize my old tripod wasn't that good after all. This Manfrotto tripod sets up quick and easy, and is pretty simple to adjust. It is very stable and can be reconfigured in all sorts of different ways. I can make sure that my camera is level all the time, so that I don't have to spend time re-straightening in post I am still learning all the different ways that I can set it up. It is amazing how low to the ground that you can set it up for close up photography as well as changing your prospective on a landscape shot. Yes, it is a little pricy, but hey, if you spend a lot of money on a camera, don't you want to make sure that it is setting on a sturdy tripod? You don't want to want to walk into a product shoot with thousands of dollars in camera and lens equipment and put it on a $19.99 tripod. Not to mention, in post, think of all the time it will save from having to correct a "not so straight" picture. I did a lot of research on this tripod, and couldn't really find too many bad comments about this product. It is a little heavy if you are planning on carrying it around all day. I bought a Manfrotto tripod bag to put it all in (it all fits in there just fine), so I can keep my hands free if I need to. It feels like a good sturdy build, and I believe that this tripod should last me a long long time. I highly recommend watching some of the videos online that explain the different ways to use this tripod. All in all, I think that you will probably like this tripod if you are an enthusiast or a pro. But hey, if you are just starting out and you only want to buy one tripod that is going to last you a long time...maybe this would be a good choice... I hope this review helps.

excelente tripie, reparable, robusto y durable, es algo que durara toda la vida

I had previously owned the Manfrotto 055XPROB a long time ago but as it was aluminum, I wanted something lighter. I tried something from Sirui for a few years but there’s a few features I missed from Manfrotto and I also felt it wasn’t quite as stable. I decided to then get this MT055CXPRO3 which is a really good price on Amazon and I’m very happy with it. The quality of the legs and hinges are excellent, the 90 degree functionality is a game changer for me and it’s still relatively light for what it is. I’d highly recommend these legs to anyone looking for a solid tripod that can last them for a long time.

Unless you are going hiking up a mountain or along an un-mapped river source this is has got to be the best tripod investment you will ever make. It is very solid , a good weight enough to shout "pah" at all but the most destructive winds.. in that case you would be hands on equipment . An easy carry for a couple of hundred meters at least. Every click and lock and lever, slide leg, dial, or turn screw is engineered to such precision that you will just smile at its quality. The horizontal beam system is just a joy to lock and unlock . Before buying it I had some reservations about the legs not being braced by a tri-bar but the click locking mechanism in full , mid and virtual flat positions dispelled any concern at the very first try and the leg slide locks are easy , solid , and will not let you down if a plumb weight makes you feel happy. There is a catch hook at the brace position as opposed to a hook at the base of the vertical rise tube which is locked by a comfortable and solid turn knob. My choice was the flat base head fixing rather than the half cup because it is easier to add a ball head from many makers than to need a flat base adaptor. . I registered ownership with the Manfrotto website including the bar coding and received a 10 year warranty. This only applies to the original owner and by registered agent sellers also, Amazon are a registered seller agent..Most photographic equipment insurers accept Manfrotto as a "Replace with New" maker should there be an accidental loss/damage to equipment or freight/baggage loss if ever !!! . My Lumix GH5 is in safe legs!

Tenho esse tripé a mais de um ano e estou feliz com sua performance. É um trambolho, extremamente pesado e difícil para carregar aos lugares, mas é de qualidade e faz os movimentos básicos (ajustes de posição). Ótimo para deixar em estúdios ou levá-lo para fotografia em natureza onde seja possível acessar o local com carro. Para o dia a dia ou caminhadas, recomendo tripés menores como MeFoto ou etc. Meu medo é que fosse falso ou usado. Não senti isso ao chegar. Cumpre seu papel, é um investimento de uma vida.
