Product Description
Showcase your unique photographic style. The 055PRO3 kit includes the ground-breaking 055 aluminium 3-section tripod, which can be used for an extensive range of video and photography applications. It also includes the MHXPRO-3W X-PRO 3-Way Head and a quick-release plate so you can use the tripod with a wide variety of devices. Easily switch the tripod from vertical to horizontal position thanks to the 90° centre column mechanism, in the upper casting for compactness. In fact, you can switch orientation even with your camera attached so you can save time and keep your equipment in the desired position.
The legs of the 055XPRO3 tripod with head can be extended and adjustable quickly, and this is also thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers, which block each leg section. The QPL levers are specially designed to provide a more comfortable single-handed opening of all leg sections. The levers also offer more powerful locking of every leg section.
Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently set to any of the pre-set angle. A bubble level is built into the top of the centre column for precise framing. This is freely rotating, which means it can be positioned wherever it is easiest for you to observe while you adjust your tripod. The top casting of the 055XPRO3 has a handy Easy Link connector that is compatible with an accessory (such as an LED light, flash, reflector, ecc) on an extending arm or bracket. Make your tripod a practical mobile studio. The X-PRO 3-Way Head has retractable levers which make it ultra-compact, and also has new friction controls on the portrait and tilt axes. These help to balance the weight of your camera equipment so that you can make adjustments with the locking knobs open. Once closed, they will lock everything into place for your next shoot.

My 18-140 lens is pretty heavy, causing the camera to have a good deal of front-heavy nature. This Manfrotto tripod and head is plenty strong to hold the camera/lens and I am extremely impressed with the sturdiness & stability. I chose this particular Manfrotto, due to the built in RC2 adapter (what I've already invested in) and due to the bubble level built into BOTH the tripod as well as the head. Also, this head has friction adjustments as well as retractable levers which allow for easier storage and transportation.
I won't by Manfrotto on Amazon anymore, but will go to more trustworthy sources. Don't know if this one is a knock-off, a reject, or what, but it wasn't the high-quality tripod it SHOULD be.
I do shoot far more than any other photographer I know. With two to three shoots a day I’m hard on my gear and expect it to be replaced yearly however, every six months, and for a tripod (so not electronic) this is getting really old.
The interesting bit is that the 2 "free" quick release plates appear to be of a different manufacturer and don't meet spec. They slide around in the head (side to side and up and down) when they should be locked in tight. We have extra plates from other manfrotto equipment so it isn't a big deal for us, but be aware if you are expecting to use them.
The stand did arrive 3 days late even with it having free PRIME 2 day shipping (not Amazon's fault, I blame USPS). The box also came beat up but nothing was damaged. I see this ALOT with usps. Amazon did work with me and was very helpful. Great customer service on Amazon's side

Not exactly sure what to do here... I am not 100% sure it's counterfeit, but I really have no way to know. Quality seems OK, but likely sending it back as I can't register it for the 10 year warranty.
