The Manfrotto MT057C4-G 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod including a Geared Center Column is a heavy-duty tripod that's intended for use with professional video cameras and large format still cameras. With a healthy 12kg load capacity, the lightweight carbon fibre leg tubes of the 057 tripod provide rigid support even under a considerable amount of weight.
The tripod's geared centre column provides maximum precision when you're setting the camera position. The column has a non-rotating, three-faceted design for increased system stability. To enable extremely low-angle shooting, you can unscrew the centre-post collar, remove the centre column, and attach the collar directly to the included low-angle adapter (through the chassis). With this method, the Manfrotto MT057C4-G 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod can achieve a minimum height of 22cm
The round carbon fibre legs feature user-adjustable flip locks to free and secure the leg stages. An included key for tightening the flip locks attaches to a leg for ever-ready access. With both the legs and the centre column fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 157cm.
