The 055XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal centre
column feature even easier to use. By extending the column to its
highest vertical position, it can be swung round 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.
