Shoot more accurately than ever before. The new 055 carbon fibre-3 section photo tripod offers outstanding rigidity and is incredibly lightweight. This engineering masterpiece from Italy has been manufactured to very high standards, and features a 90° column that can be extended vertically or horizontally so you can shoot with greater versatility. With 100% carbon fibre tubes and an innovative Quick Power Lock (QPL) leg-locking mechanism, you can be assured incredible stability and rigidity under any conditions. This tripod not only absorbs vibrations, it´s also much lighter to carry around than the aluminium version. That mean it is a very good choice for travel photographers. Don´t worry about disassembling your camera, because you can extend the column without your equipment attached. Open it single-handedly in only one movement, and position each leg to a pre-set angle so you can frame and shoot more precisely. The 055 carbon fibre-3 section has an innovative bubble level that rotates freely around the centre column, enabling you to position your camera so that nothing obscures it.
