The 055 tripod is basically indestructible apart from running over it with a tank or throwing it over a cliff and every part can be replaced i absolutely love mine very versatile and tough
Great video... I just purchased the xpro4 about 8 months ago and i love it. I travel 35 weeks a year for work (not photography work) and i travel with it all the time. I bought the peak design for travel and then bought the Ulanzi and yes, they are very nice... but i'm shooting with Leica camera and Lens' and the Peak D and Ulanzi feels like the camera is making the tripod stable vs. the tripod making the camera stable. This is a workhorse and hope to get 10 years out of it. Looking forward to more of your content and seeing your channel grow.
I'm 5'6", and have issues getting around the spikes on the fence at the Duquesne Incline Overlook in Pittsburgh. This tripod will clear those spikes with ease.
I have the 055 3. In carbon , its been a workhorse .with an artcice 52 big ballhead , use it with heavy telephotos 600 f4s its a great combo , i still rate benbo no 1 tripod very close
Nice video. I can buy the same tripod (135$ I think someone stole it and now trying to sell). Would be great to see the next video about tripod Manfrotto heads, for photo and video setup.
I assisted with 2 photogs who did architectural work. I don't remember what tripods they used, but each had a Manfrotto 222 head. This is also known as Bogen 3265 and neither are available new any more, I don't think. It's a joystick design, sort of like a pistol grip in operation without the handle being in the wrong place like pistol grips are. What it allows is all of the flexibility of a regular ballhead without needing to fiddle with knobs. And it adds 7" to the height, so that you don't need to raise a tripod's center section as high as sacrifice stability.
Hey Cameron, your 055 link is broken, FYI. Good overview. [Edit] Tall tripods let you shoot things over your head (birds, buildings etc) without having to stoop over. You'll appreciate that when you get older :)

I have been using the 410 gear head for many years now. It’s great.

That sounds great thanks so much for the feedback and kind words! Happy shooting!

thanks for the video,
I am trying to find a clear answer whether the center column can be inserted upside down?
I bought this tripod but idk how can I adjust to my smartphone? What kind of phone mount should I need to buy?
