Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod with (Manfrotto) Ballhead - SOLD

Mon 22-May-17 09:27 AM | edited Wed 31-May-17 07:47 PM by bherman01545
I have for sale a brand-new and unused Manfrotto 055XPROB Professional Tripod, complete in the original box with everything that came from Manfrotto. I purchased this as a backup tripod a year ago from a dealer that was going out of business, and never used it. It is new, unused and mint, but as you can see in the last photo, there is some small "dot" on the rubber part of the leg foam. Cosmetic and very minor. Also included is a new, unused and boxed, Calumet 7045 26lb Ball-head (made by Manfrotto) with three (3) additional QR plates, also new and in the package.

A unique design feature, the center column can be raised to it’s highest and rotated 90º for use as a side arm for shooting straight down. That’s a great feature for macro and copy work. Designed for loads like an average SLR with up to a medium telephoto zoom, a medium format rig, or video camera, the 055XPROB tripod is rigid, sturdy and strong. Whether you’re shooting film or digital, still of video, this is a superior, boxed and new tripod that is ready for use.

The black Manfrotto 055XPROB Aluminum Tripod features the Manfrotto-patented horizontal center column feature, which allows the center column to flip quickly and easily from vertical to horizontal. By extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung over to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself. The ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks have also been improved.
The 055XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal center column feature even easier to use. By extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung around to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved

The Manfrotto 055XPROB is commonly used for Home, Landscape/scenery, Long exposures, Macro, Night shots, Photography, Portraits, Reducing noise (ISO reduction), Sports/action, Stabilization, Travel, Video, Weddings, Wildlife and more.The Manfrotto 055XPROB is most used by customers who consider themselves to be a Casual photographer, Photo enthusiast, Pro photographer, Semi-pro photographer among others.The Manfrotto 055XPROB is popular because customers like the following qualities of the Manfrotto 055XPROB: Folds away, Lightweight, Stable and Unfolds quickly
