Manfrotto MT057C4 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod

The Manfrotto 057 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Rapid 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 9".

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 height of 80.7".

Features:

Retractable spikes in feet

Bubble level near the bottom of centre column

Screw locks for tightening a tripod head to the centre-post collar
