Description
The Manfrotto 055XPROB pairs with the 501HDV fluid head for a versatile setup suited to small-to-medium-large camera rigs, with a horizontal centre column that swings from vertical to a boom position without removing the head.
Tripod
Improved leg-angle release and quick-action flip locks adjust height from 3.94″ to 70.3″, suited to 35mm and light medium-format cameras and camcorders.
Head
The 501HDV fluid head uses a fixed counterbalance spring tuned for a typical 2.5kg camera-and-accessories load, smoothing tilt movement and adding a safety margin if tilt locks are left off. An easy-reach on/off switch disengages the counterbalance when needed, and refined locks and knobs give a solid grip with fine fingertip control.
