Medium Duty Tripod Kit
Available Today
We’ve changed the legs on this tripod kit: after 2 years of using the Velbon El Carmagne we’ve become more impressed with the Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 legs and now combine those with our favorite Markins Q3 smaller ballhead. The combination will support a professional series body and 300 f2.8 size lens, is easy to carry or travel with, sets up in a snap, and provides good height.
The Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 4-piece carbon fiber legs have quick release flip lock latches to set up in an instant to a maximum height of 67"(with centerpiece extended), weigh only 3.7 pounds, have a built-in bubble level, and can support a 12 pound camera/lens combination.
We’ve topped it with a Markins Q3 ballhead. We’ve tried a number of other ballheads that were less expensive but keep coming back to Markins because they are so reliable and smooth. The Q3 has a panning base, very smooth progressive ballhead friction adjustment, an Arca-Swiss compatible quick mechanism and we include a single AS plate. The online manual for the Markins ballhead is located here
Please Note This item comes with one Arca-Swiss Plate attached.
