The 055XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal centre column feature even easier to use. By extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung round to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever. The
ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved.

16|Nov|2008 11:41 pm 1I was a happy 190PRO user until I started using heavier longer and lenses with my Nikon D3. That’s when I decided to invest in its bigger brother and have been very happy with that decision. This model has the centre column that swings to the horizontal, but to be honest it’s not a feature that I use.
The main noticeable difference between this and my 190PRO is the weight and extra height which means I don’t have to stoop any more or raise the centre column for that extra height.
I should have bought one of these years ago as it could have saved me some backache (I’m over 6 foot tall)!
If you don’t mind the weight and can appreciate it makes for a steadier platform then you ought to love this tripod.
