100% Carbon Fiber Tubes For The Tripod Legs

To reduce the weight of the tripod without any compromises on performance, stability and rigidity, Manfrotto tubes are made of 100% Carbon Fiber. Carbon fiber tubes can be very different in quality, depending on the production process and the percent of carbon fiber material present in the tubes. Manfrotto chose to reach the maximum quality using 100% carbon fiber and the pull winding technology (a special production process that maximizes performance, resistance and reliability.

New improved leg angle selector levers

Magnesium and Aluminum Die Castings

Lightweight magnesium is used for many die-cast parts. Magnesium has a 35% lower density than aluminum. Despite its lower weight, magnesium is more rigid than aluminum, and has the same strength per volume.

Three-Layered Rounded 100% Full Carbon Tubes For Legs

The 055CXV3 incorporates the new three-layered rounded 100% Full Carbon Tubes for improved rigidity and lightness.

Three-Faceted Aluminum Center Column

The 055CXV3 has a three-faceted aluminum center column, which can offset the pressure of the locking system and the torsion caused while in the horizontal position.

Four Different Leg Angle Settings

The Manfrotto 055CXV3 Carbon Fiber Tripod offers tall and lightweight carbon fiber legs with four different leg angle options to achieve lower heights. The new angle selector levers have been designed to improve ergonomics.

Rapid-action lever leg locks

Independent Leg Angles

Each of the legs can be set to a different angle of spread for more flexible, versatile positioning and to help keep camera equipment well-balanced over the tripod's center of gravity.

New Ergonomic Rapid-Action Lever Leg Locks

Quick-action leg locks allow you to quickly and quietly set the tripod into position. The new ergonomic leg locking levers have been completely redesigned to improve functionality. They are much easier to operate and have become a seamless element of the tripod.

Dark Non-Glare Finish
