WE RECOMMEND

Choose one compatible head and a bag suited to the transported configuration. The assembled system is limited by its lowest-rated component, not automatically by the tripod’s 20 kg rating.

  • Manfrotto MBAG90PN — A padded 90 cm bag verified for MT057C3 with an MH057 head. This fit must not be assumed for every other mounted head.
  • K&F Concept BH-36 (KF31.221) — A ball head with a female 3/8″ base socket for the tripod’s male screw. Observe its 8 kg head rating and the lowest limit of the complete system.
  • Manfrotto XPRO MHXPRO-BHQ2 — An alternative ball head with a female 3/8″ base attachment and 200PL plate. Select it instead of the K&F head and check the head, plate and camera limits.
  • Manfrotto MBAG80N — An unpadded 80 cm bag verified for the MT057C3 without a head.
  • Manfrotto MBAG80PN — A padded 80 cm alternative for the MT057C3 without a head; choose one bag rather than both.
