Buy Manfrotto 055XB Classic Tripod Legs (Black)Manfrotto 055XB Classic Tripod Legs (Black) Product Description:
- Leg warmers on 2 legs ease handling in extreme weather conditions, and help to protect the legs
Product Description
Built on the same ergonomically improved design as the 055XPROB, but without the horizontal center column feature, the 055XB is lighter in weight and slightly more compact. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved. The leg angle presets allow the camera to reach all intermediate heights from min-max extension.

don't have much to compare this to, except for a $30 sunpak tripod I got from best buy. This guy's expensive, especially since the head is separate, but I love this thing. It's moderate in weight (we'll see if I have to carry it far, but feels very solid. The latches are convenient, I prefer them to knobs -- we'll have to see if they remain the same tightness over time.The vertical mount is very easy to adjust (compared to my cheapo tripod that I had to CRANK to adjust). The whole unit can get quite tall, and quite low. The default setup is a convenient height.I love the Manfrotto 222 Joystick head I got with it -- the whole unit together feels amazingly solid!Pricey (not by photography standards (it's not too expensive), just by normal human being standards), but cool.

Added on 10/21/2007: I posted the review below under the product 055XPROB (and it got 5 helpful votes), but amazon mistakenly moved it to 055XB (and since then it got 2 unhelpful votes). Anyway, 055XB should be a very good tripod. But I encourage you to compare it with 055XPROB, which is just a little more expensive.Original review: It is a great, sturdy tripod. The only down side is it is a little heavy. But this is what you pay for being sturdy. Bogen/Manfrotto has changed the SKU# from 3021BPRO to 055XPROB. Look at the glowing reviews on the 3021BPRO to convince yourself.

This tripod legs are great: sturdy, versitile and very steady; but please note that for a $ 10.00 more the 055XB Classic can be 055XPROB you can pull out the center post to slide into a horizontal position, but even without the tripod legs works great as should be. It's a little heavier and has plastic parts that I would like to be more stronger and not plastic.
