Manfrotto 057 Carbon Fiber Tripod 3 Sections Geared

With a healthy 12kg load capacity, the lightweight carbon fiber leg tubes of the 057 tripod provide rigid support even under a considerable amount of weight.

The tripod’s geared center column provides maximum precision when you’re setting the camera position. The column has a non-rotating, three-faceted design for increased system stability. To enable extremely low-angle shooting, you can unscrew the center-post collar, remove the center column, and attach the collar directly to the included low-angle adapter (through the chassis). With this method the 057 tripod can achieve a minimum height of 22cm

The round carbon fiber 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 center column fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 157cm.

Key Features

– Retractable spikes in feet
– Bubble level near bottom of center column
– Screw locks for tightening a tripod head to the center-post collar
– Manfrotto recommends its 114 Video/Movie Heavy Dolly for this tripod
