The Bogen/Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod Legs builds on the success of the 3011/3021 series. It features the Manfrotto-patented horizontal center column feature, which allows the center column to flip quickly and easily from vertical to horizontal. By extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung over to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself. The ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks have also been improved. The 055XB provides speedy set-up coupled with added security with quick action, lever-type leg locks. It is ideal for use with 35mm and light medium format photographic cameras, and digital or conventional type video camcorders.

Nice but padding on only 2 of 3 legs?

"This is a good sturdy tripod. I bought it to replace my Bogen 3021 that was stolen, The only thing I don't like and think is odd is that two of the legs have built in padding; not three legs, just two. And the padding only covers two thirds of the length of the leg, leaving the other third exposed metal. I usually cover the legs with Op-Tech tripod leg wraps, but with the partial built in padding on the 55XPro, ..." Read Full Review »
