Manfrotto 055xprob is the best set of tripod legs you could get at this price point or even more. It is very very sturdy and supports a kit up to 7kg in weight, that includes any medium-large format camera plus a mid range telephoto zoom lens.

Pros:
.. The center column flips out and becomes parallel to ground for portraiture/macro/product tabletop shoot
.. Very very sturdy even when the legs are fully extended
.. Good maximum height for 6 footers
.. Great price for this awesome product...

Purchased the Manfrotto 055PROXB from Flipkart. The tripod was delivered within a couple of days as promised. Much better to purchase such items from Flipkart than to visit numerous local stores, especially when the prices are the same!

Would be great if appropriate tripod bags are also offered in combo offer.

Its just an amazing tripod. Weight does not matter for the photography lovers. I bought it yesterday. Its the sturdiest one. You will get complete balance in long exposure shots even there is a heavy wind. Ground Level and Reverse low Angle are the unique features of this tripod. I am using it with my Vanguard SBH 50 Ball head. Its just an awesome combination for my 600D with 55-250 lens.
I repeat, Weight does not matter at all.

Awesome experience with the tripod legs, plus I purchased the 498RC2 Manfrotto ball head and the combination of the two is really superb. Highly recommend to all customers. This tripod head and legs works like a dream. Very fast to setup and easy to work with. You would be able to accurate focus on your subject, be it small or big. It does not move once fixed and is a rock solid tripod.

To add, I dropped the tripod legs along with the attached head once from my hand and thought it would have...

I would recommend it to all who are looking for a good quality tripod.

There are plenty of reviews on internet about this product and every review says that this is a great value for money.

I am using this product for months now and it is amazingly quick to use. Unpacking, Installing, Shooting and Packing, all can be done in 5 mins. So, stopping on the road side and shooting that landscape you liked so much, while traveling in countryside, is no longer a daunting tasks even in the nights.

I too read reviews before buying this. The review at Camera Labs is part...
