Latest Review Posted | Manfrotto 055XPROB A nice tripod for it's price, but not without it's flaws.
It's easy to use, only getting down really low is somewhat cumbersome.
I would like it to have the foam protection on all three legs, easier for carrying and the center column wouldnīt then damage the non/foam covered leg which it does now. Also the clamps for locking the legs loosen in time in spite of having lock nuts, my Manfrotto 075 has the same problem.
Also the Macro functionality makes it less stable than itīs basic counterpart.
All in all a nice, quite ergonomic tripod to use with fairly good load carrying capacity. I havenīt got any problems carrying it all day although there are tripods around performing better length and weight wise, but those are usually a lot more expensive. |
