Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 055 Carbon Fiber 3-Section Tripod w/ 498RC2 Midi Ball Head with Quick Release and Two Replacement Quick Release Plates for the RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter

The new 055 carbon fibre 3-section tripod delivers maximum rigidity from the lightest components; a masterpiece of engineering designed for photographers who want the best from their tripod and need it to be easily transportable. The 100% carbon fibre tubes and new QPL leg locking system increase the tripod's rigidity and absorb vibrations, stabilizing camera equipment under any conditions. Carbon fibre tubing and magnesium castings also reduce the weight of this tripod compared to the equivalent aluminium version.

The 498 Midi Ball Head has been totally redesigned for better ease of use.
The new friction control knob allows the photographer to achieve superior control when handling the camera and making micro movements without having to totally lock and unlock the ball head. A smart repositionable locking lever allows the user to place it in a comfortable position in order to use it in the most convenient way.
Just pull it outwards, put it in the best working position and then release it. The locking lever securely locks the head both in the +90 -90 ball positioning and in the 360 pan positions.
