Manfrotto MT057C3 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod
The Manfrotto 057 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod w/ Rapid Center Column is a heavy-duty tripod that’s intended for use with video cameras and large still cameras. With a 39.7 lb load capacity, the lightweight carbon fibre leg tubes of the 057 tripod provide rigid support even under a considerable amount of weight.
The tripod’s rapid centre column has a non-rotating, three-faceted design for increased system stability. To enable extremely low-angle shooting, you can unscrew the centre-post collar, remove the centre column, and attach the collar directly to the included low-angle adapter (through the chassis). With this method, the 057 tripods can achieve a minimum height of 8.7″.
The round carbon fibre legs feature user-adjustable flip locks to free and secure the leg stages. An included key for tightening the flip locks attaches to a leg for ever-ready access. With both the legs and the centre column fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 61.8″.
Features:
Retractable spikes in feet
Spirit level near bottom of centre column
Screw locks for tightening a tripod head to the centre-post collar
