NEW Magfiber Range
Manfrotto have streamlined their carbon
fibre range, and the 44x series has been
replaced by 3 and 4 section versions of the
190PRO and 055PRO series.
‘Magfiber’ indicates that the
construction is carbon fibre for the leg
sections, and magnesium for all the metal
parts, resulting in tripods that weigh
between 1.6 and 2kg (without head).
The tubes are triangular in shape
to prevent twisting, and are pressureclamped
rather than glued for greater
reliability.
All models include a padded
carry strap, which can also be used
to hang a weight from to improve
stability in windy conditions.

of the 055PRO with 3-section legs,
with 4 level settings, allowing
