good product
Its a good tripod, light and easy to operate, I ve been using the same Manfrotto tripod for the last 13 years, and the new one, doesn't feel quite solid as the old one, but its just a guess. For now its working perfect

Smooth/easy to use
I Photographed an interior for a local designer and this head was smooth the adjustments were quick and easy. Love it. Just be careful you have the quick release plate all the way screwed into your camera. Almost had a mishap with that.

My Next Tripod
I bought this tripod primarily for using in Real Estate and Architecture to replace an older tripod that I wore out over the past few years. Two primary reasons for picking this tripod was for the pivoting head to get around corners (such as bathrooms) and the tall height for those interiors with ceilings above 12 feet. This tripod feels heavy but really solid. I can pivot the center column with a geared head and full frame camera and it doesn't ... Show More

Best Tripod/head Ive owned
Super light, the friction-control on the head makes adjustments very quick, leg clamps are simple and strong. Great setup!

outstanding tripod
I just recently purchased this tripod primarily for the quick flip mechanism on the center column that allows easy close-to-ground camera placement. It replaces my older magnezium fiber Manfrotto 055 series tripod. I use it with a Gitzo ball head, and an Acratech leveling head. I spent two days photographing on the Pacific Northwest Coast and at Mt. Rainier NP. I LOVE this tripod. It is light, very sturdy, and very quick to set up. I LOVE th... Show More

Solid
a bit on the heavy side, but this is a fairly large tripod. Just make sure you purchase some type of carry bag for it as it does not come with one. Also keep in mind if you have a separate head to make that fit into the bag also. The nice carbon fiber can scratch if you decide to carry it without a bag. The tightening clips are super solid. So much so that i caught my finger on the wrong side of it and ended up with a slightly bloody finger. (it bites) Overall great solid tripod!

This tripod is exceptional
Manfrotto delivered another quality product. I like the updated design of this tripod. The carbon fiber, black and silver with red accents are a nice touch. This tripod can hold a 70-200mm f2.8 lens steady, and it's rock solid for landscapes using any wide lenses on my NIKON D750 camera. Best Tripod I have ever had. Super light, very versatil. Good looking also.

Great Ballhead!!!
This is a great ballhead and is so much easier to use to position your camera without having to twist a bunch of knobs (as with a traditional ballhead) when you find the right spot. Just squeeze the grip, move your camera into the position you want, then release.

a good robust tripod
I bought this to replace a similar Manfrotto tripod that I've been using for over 10 years. This is a good product.

Nice upgrade
Very nice tripod. It's a nice upgrade from the aluminum one that I've been using. Nice new features like the bubble level and the ability to slide the center column to the side for macro work.

Top quality tripod
Very solid and easy to set up and level the camera. The shift of the center column from vertical to horizontal is impressively easy. Because the head adjustment handles are compact the quick release plate must be rotated 90 degrees and the camera remounted to do a vertical shot but that is not surprising in a compact head. This is my 3rd Manfrotto Tripod and I am completely satisfied. I carry it on a Lowepro backpack camera bag and it is not cumbersome at all.

I'm Blown Away
07 14 2018 - Received a Manfrotto MK055XPRO3-BHQ2 Aluminum Tripod with XPRO Ball Head sooner than expected via FedEx (delivered on a Saturday instead of the projected Monday deliver date). First impression was how BEEFY thing is... and it's exactly what I wanted. I'd never seen a ball head in person and have never had a tripod of this quality in my hands before, so this is a big deal for me. I read through all the paperwork, checked nuts and bolt... Show More

Heavy Duty
It is heavy when compared to the Manfrotto travel tripods. It feels and looks sturdy. I bought it with the short handled 3-way head. I wasn't sure about the short handles, but I like how unobtrusive they are to use. Plus, the tension adjustment. Makes for more controlled and precise positioning of my camera. My travel tripod has the ball head. I like this 3 way over the ball head due to the control I have with it which the ball head lacks

form follows function
Simple, straightforward, ergonomically logical, and sturdy. Nothing to be improved upon. It compliments a high quality tripod and a fine camera.

Sturdy, Easy to use Tripod
For years I have used inferior tripods, this one is very sturdy and stable so pictures are sharp, not blurry. Quick to set up and just what I was looking for. I shopped in person and was not able to find one that was sturdy. After looking at many reviews, checking specifications and a few reliable referrals I purchased this one and am glad I did. It is fairly expensive but it should last for many years. I would recommend it to those who might hav... Show More

Great tripod, subpar for price
I have used this same tripod for several years now via work. It's a wonderful tripod, incredibly durable and able to hold so much more weight than expected. Fairly lightweight. My biggest annoyance is with the packaging and included accessories : WHICH IS NONE. All other tripods come with a carrying case, potentially some ice pick adapters for the feet to be used on slippery surfaces, some allen keys......this is a tripod in a box folks. Luckily ...

I like it very much!!
Even though it was not the one I really wanted, it turned out to be just fine for what I needed it to do, it is extremely light and easy to use. The center post when untightened seems a bit flimsy and shaky, but overall it is a good tripod and I'm very satisfied with it.

Worth it! Durable
I've been using this for over 2 years every single day, never had any issues whatsoever. I am architectural photographer and i have used it for over 500 shoots, yeah the rubbers at the bottom are wearing out a little but I've used it and brushed it on all kinds of surface and I am surprised its still going strong. the screws eventually get a little loose after all these years but it took me 2 minutes to tighten it up and is as good as new. I would recommend it to anyone whether its their first tripod or a pro who shoots outdoors in all kinds of conditions.

Lightweight but stable.
I use this primarily for architectural photography. I wanted a steady tripod that wasn't heavy to be walking around with since the geared head I use is already quite heavy. This tripod definitely works for me! The 90 degree center column is a sweet plus when using geared heads. I do feel like the last section of this tripod is a little too thin for my taste but I barely ever have to extend all sections so it is not a deal breaker. The leg lock levers are a bit tight and can pinch your finger easily until you get used to them. All things consider, this is a great tripod!

Sturdy and Easy to Use
I have used my new tripod several times, and I really enjoy the ease of adjustments. It is also quick to adjust the tripod for horizontal shots. It would receive 5 starts except it is not as light as I would like, but that requires a carbon fiber tripod!. This one is affordable and works beautifully.
