The new 055 carbon fiber tripod with 4-section legs provides maximum rigidity using the lightest materials. It is a masterpiece of engineering designed for photographers who demand the utmost from their tripod and seek ease of transport. The 100% carbon fiber tubes and new QPL leg locks increase the tripod's rigidity and absorb vibrations, stabilizing the photographic equipment under any conditions. The carbon fiber tubes and magnesium castings further reduce the tripod's weight compared to equivalent aluminum models. The 4-section leg design allows this tripod to fold down even smaller for easier transport.
The key feature of the 055CXPRO4 is the 90° center column extension mechanism, which allows not only the normal vertical column extension but also the horizontal, thus opening up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities. This makes the 055CXPRO4 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide variety of photography and video applications. The horizontal column mechanism is housed within the tripod's top casting for size limitation, while it extends easily and quickly whenever you need it. Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation does not require disassembly and can be done even with the camera attached.
