Manfrotto Launches 057 Tripod Series
Light and portable support solutions
London, March 2011 – Manfrotto launches the 057 series, a new generation of carbon fibre supports. The latest range benefits from innovative features developed with hands-on professional imaging insight.
The 057 series comprises first class, high performance imaging supports. The versatile and ergonomic design of the range meets the intense demands of the professional photographer’s everyday work with ease. This remarkable flexibility is the result of real-life testing and troubleshooting by a team of working photographers who contribute key insights that guide the product development of all Manfrotto supports.
Catering to a range of professionals, the 057 range is available in four configurations to suit the photographer’s needs. The user is free to combine two different leg extensions with two different types of column, geared for rapid adjustment and control, providing fast camera repositioning.
The series offers great flexibility in addition to this precision and stability, with an extension of up to 205 cm (80.7 in) which allows photographers to shoot from elevated areas as well as from low angles. Furthermore, its versatility does not come at the price of its lightness and portability. The 057 series boasts a construction of magnesium casting and 100% carbon fibre leg increase, making it a highly portable support option.
With great attention to detail and its trademark industry insight, Manfrotto designed the series to meet the complex and varying needs of active professional photographers. The 057 series is the first choice in its industry class of carbon fibre tripods.
