Advantages: Sturdy, Precise, Hard wearing finishes, Robust materials Disadvantages: None (probably too heavy for a 35mm format camera user)
Manfrotto makes 'un-complicated' tripods and this tool is simply one of the best tripods of its grade. The detailing, colour and finishes are very classic and robust at the same time. I use a Hasselblad V system and the 055D meets all my requirements on location.
One should also carefully choose the ideal head for the camera. The pan 'lock-in levers' on my Manfrotto Ball Head are built and finished very well (this head can easily support a medium format camera at any angle). The matt steel finish is very hard-wearing and overall a very smart looking Tripod.
The tripod requires less maintenance as well.
PROS: Good Weight, Ideal for Architectural, Interior and on-site work. Value for money. Long lasting.
CONS: None. ...
