Manfrotto 055xprob Tripod & 496RC2 Compact head in BURNS BEACH, Western Australia for sale

Excellent condition well looked after and cleaned after each use.
Designed for the professional photographer, this is an extremely versatile tripod, ideal for small, medium format cameras, digital or conventional type.
The 055XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal center column feature even easier to use. By extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung around to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick Action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved.
The 055XPROB is an aluminium tripod with a closed length of 65.5 cm and a maximum height of 178.5 cm. The tripod legs can also be splayed out at 90 degrees to the centre column so that it sits rigid and spider-like on the ground. The centre column can also be set at a right angle to the vertical with the column fully extended so that the camera faces directly downwards, clear of the legs. With the legs splayed and the column horizontal, the camera can be set up a few
centimetres from the ground, handy for macro shots of flowers or small creatures.
The finish is matt black and the top sections of the legs are enclosed in a rubberised sleeve. There is a spirit level, and it weighs 2.4 kg.
