The new 055 carbon fiber tripod with 3-section legs provides maximum rigidity using the lightest materials. It is a masterpiece of engineering designed for photographers who demand the utmost from their tripod and seek ease of transport. The 100% carbon fiber tubes and new QPL leg locks increase the tripod's rigidity and absorb vibrations, stabilizing photographic equipment under any conditions. The carbon fiber tubes and magnesium cast parts further reduce the tripod's weight compared to equivalent aluminum models. The 4-section leg design allows this tripod to fold down even smaller for easier transport.
