Review on Enhanced SEO: Manfrotto 055 Black Aluminum 3-Section Tripod Kit with Horizontal Column and Ball Head (MK055XPRO3-BHQ2) by Alexander Scharon

This tripod meets and exceeds expectations. I've owned several tripods over the years, ranging from cheap to very expensive. As a mid-range tripod, it covers all the details I could need in my studio when shooting. It's big, solid, good looking and has added some weight with all of that. Not a problem as it's not made for travel, but it won't break your back if you absolutely have to carry it around. Head + camera + distance from the center will not make your tripod fall over. My version has a 3-sided header. The only thing that confuses me is that the spirit levels are pretty hard to see, but since my Sony A7rii has digital tilt/rotation planes built in, it doesn't bother me much. The head is lightweight and can "tuck away" the handles, making it easy to store/carry in a bag. At first I was flabbergasted by the quick release mechanism, but after 3 minutes of fiddling, changing hardware was a matter of seconds, just make sure you buy enough plates for your needs. In summary you get what you pay for and this is a well built, durable and versatile tripod. I use this tripod regularly with Manfrotto Fluid Head and Konova Slider. So many possibilities!
