Manfrotto MK055XPRO3-BHQ2 tripod review | Space

[ad_1]

Italy-based Manfrotto is a brand synonymous with the best tripods and photography accessories. With models to suit all levels of photography, even the cheaper models of Manfrotto tripods can usually be relied on for lasting durability, excellent design features and being crafted to high standards. Can the same be said for the Manfrotto MK055XPRO3-BHQ2?

Launched in 2015, the MT055XPRO3 aluminum tripod (BHQ2 is code for the bundled ball head) is a three-section support that replaces the popular — but now discontinued — 055XPROB tripod. It has advanced features for enthusiasts and professional photographers, plus a build quality that’s hard to find fault with. It’s also heavy. That said, it is still portable enough to carry around on location, even though it doesn’t come with its own carry case or strap. If price is no object, this is a perfect companion to the best cameras for astrophotography.
