Manfrotto 055 Tripod and Xpro Ball Head [6 Years of Use] 

Good!! Thank you Seth!! Its great to see a long term review of it!! It seems like its served you very well!! Its a great confirmation that this tripod is definately worth the money. My carbon fiber 190 has been absolutely phenomenal. Manfrotto tripods are absolutely worth the money and will serve you well for several years!

thank you for the longevity review, lots of things look good at first but wear out too quickly, glad to know these have held up.

Many thanks for the comprehensive review; one of the best tripods that are used for both still and video photography. Planning to get one carbon version, best regards from Egypt.

Such an awesome and comprehensive review, thank you so much!

Lovely review, as always

I bought one of these tripods a few days ago, used...but in excellent condition...1 of the things I don't like is that the leg folding mechanism is not good...if I tighten the screw it will be stable, but it will open very very hard...if i unroll it then it will be very loose at first...is there something wrong with my copy??I tried to disassembly and grease and clean the parts,but did not helped much.All in all if i want to shoot low angle position its pretty annoying with this tripod :(

Great review thank you! I would like to ask what is the heaviest weight lens you have used with the ball head and has is stayed in place without drifting?

noice !

hi, how are you , Is the process of drawing water by the barrel real, or a lie? thx.

I don't think sunglasses has a sufficient weight to counter balance the tripod :)

Manfrotto build it for 20 years lasting
