The 055XPROB makes the Manfrotto-patented horizontal center 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.
322RC2 Heavy Duty Grip Ball Head
The 322RC2 ball head is made from magnesium for lightweight performance, and is designed to keep the weight of your kit as close as possible to the tripod's centre of gravity by way of its reduced height. That low center of gravity matched with the precision construction of the 322RC2 gives the head a load capacity of 11.2 lbs. The versatile head and the revolutionary design of its grip handle, which incorporates the ball lock leverball head allows you to unblock, move, position and lock your camera with one hand in one position. A friction control wheel lets you regulate the power of the blocking mechanism to match the weight of your camera/lens.
The 200PL quick release plate assembly can be removed and positioned for left-handed use or on the top of the grip in a vertical position like the 'traditional' 222 design. However when used in this position, the maximum load capacity reverts to 5.51 lbs. Complete with built-in bubble spirit level and quick release camera plate (standard 1/4" screw, with secondary safety pin), the 322RC2 is suitable for use with either 35mm or medium format cameras.
