$150.00 /day
The Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 is now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. This classic aluminum tripod delivers exceptional rigidity and a versatile 90° center column system for professional HK sets.
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 is a professional-grade 3-section aluminum tripod that serves as an industry workhorse for photographers and videographers renting in Hong Kong. Built to withstand the daily rigors of heavy production use, its robust aluminum legs provide high torsional rigidity and structural stability. The defining workflow feature of this model is Manfrotto’s signature 90-degree center column mechanism, which allows the column to be swung into a horizontal orientation in seconds without removing the mounted camera head, directly resolving setup delays on fast-moving HK production sets.
By opting for equipment hire through Dream Scenes Studio, local creators secure a reliable platform that supports heavy setups with confidence. With redesigned Quick Power Lock levers that provide strong locking power with minimal effort, this tripod setup is efficient to deploy in tightly scheduled studio workflows or unpredictable outdoor locations.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Kwun Tong and Chai Wan Industrial Studios: Excellent for commercial e-commerce, food photography, and flat-lay product shoots where the 90° horizontal column is required for top-down framing.
-
Central and Tsim Sha Tsui Architecture Shoots: Provides a sturdy, vibration-resistant foundation for precise interior design and architectural mapping along congested urban streets.
-
Shek O and Stanley Coastal Landscapes: The rugged aluminum construction provides reliable weight and grounding against strong seaside winds during long-exposure coastal landscape assignments.
-
90-Degree Center Column System: Allows the center column to quickly transition between vertical and horizontal positions to facilitate effortless overhead shots and extreme low-angle framing.
-
Quick Power Lock (QPL) Levers: Delivers high locking tension to ensure maximum leg stiffness while allowing fast, single-handed leg extension on set.
-
Easy Link Connector: Features a built-in 3/8″ thread on the main chassis, enabling easy attachment of articulating arms to hold external monitors, LED lights, or reflectors.
-
Rotating Bubble Level: Includes an integrated spirit level on the center column that rotates freely 360 degrees, ensuring it can always be positioned where it is easiest to read.

Q: Can the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 support fully rigged video setups on HK commercial shoots?
A: This tripod has a safety payload capacity of up to 9kg. It is perfectly suited for professional DSLRs, high-end mirrorless setups, and compact cinema packages (such as a Sony FX6 or Canon C70 with standard lenses). For heavy studio cinema rigs with large V-mount batteries and matte boxes, we recommend renting our heavy-duty Combo Stands or dedicated cinema fluid-head tripods.
-
Q: Do I need to disassemble the camera head to use the horizontal 90-degree column feature?
A: No, that is the primary advantage of this design. You simply extend the center column to its maximum vertical height, press the release button at the bottom of the column, and pivot it horizontally into place while keeping your head and camera securely mounted.
-
Q: Does this tripod feature built-in spiked feet for soft ground?
A: This specific rental model comes equipped with durable rubber feet designed for optimal grip on studio floors, concrete, and standard indoor/outdoor surfaces. It does not feature built-in metal spikes.
