Product Description
Light, simple, strong, and extremely versatile to position, the 055MF4 will comfortably support up to 15lbs and offers a minimum height of only 4.3 inches for low-angle shooting. Without compromising on stability or rigidity of the tripod, Manfrotto engineers reduced the weight of the 055MF4 by utilizing carbon fiber legs with quick action lever locks in magnesium and resin. In addition, they incorporated the patented design of the 3021PRO series top spider, which offers four leg angle settings, and converts the center column into a lateral arm. The center column itself is of the latest generation of aluminum and resin materials. The low-angle adapter forms the top section of the center column and is easily detached by simply unscrewing the knob at the bottom of the column. This enables the head to be left mounted on the center column when switching between low-angle and normal shooting positions. All parts are assembled using a proven pressure clamp technology for greater durability and in-the-field serviceability. Built-in low angle adapter closed length - 21.3 in maximum height - 65.0 in maximum height (with center column down) - 51.4 in weight - 4.4 lbs load capacity - 15.4 lbs color - black

 Great tripod August 15, 2008
Great tripod, built to last, only issue is the handle is too short to put it over your back
 I Love this June 21, 2008
I got this tripod 2 weeks ago and I love it. Very light weight. I used lots of tripod in my professional and I have to say that I never see like this, I've been using everywhere I go. The lateral arm is very usefull if you are taking pictures small items.(like jewel)
I am very happy to buy this.

This is the third tripod I have tried. I really wanted something a little lighter that the 4.4lbs of this unit, but I compromised because I wanted to the flip lever leg locks. I tried an aluminum Manfrotto that was similar to this model, but it was too heavy. I then tried a SLIK 814 CFII and if it had not been for the pain in setting it up and taking it down I would have kept it. If SLIK made a model with lever locks I would be all over that. I would happily shell out the higher $$ for a Gitzo as well if they had lever locks on the legs. I will probably end up buying a monopod as well for travel as I don't see it being very practical to haul this one around. All of that said, this is a fine unit that sets up quickly, is sturdy, lighter than aluminum and has the added bonus of a spirit level. I would recommend this unit to others who feel the same way I do about twist to lock tripod legs.
Impressive! August 4, 2006

The stability of this tripod is impressive. I took it on vacation and shot a moth, sunsets and anything else I could find. The best photo of the moth was taken using the legs expanded as close to the ground as possible and the center support, parallel. Stability was great! I came hope with a picture on which the texture of wings could be seen and some awesome sunset images.

I got this tripod last week and so far i love it. Very light weight, compact and sturdy. It has many features which i have already found myself using, like the lateral arm and the short column. (The only draw back to the lateral arm and short column is you have to unscrew and re-screw the column to use them, so a little slow during the switch.) In addition, it has a nice strap for carrying, and the latches for the legs are smoother then the less expensive Manfrotto's I've used. Most of the parts are made of Magnesium which is strong but light weight, and the tripod looks cool. If I could change things next time, I think they should make the hook for the strap Metal, not plastic, and they need a quick release option of the converting lateral arm and short column. Overall this is a great tripod and I am very happy with my purchase.
