MANFROTTO MT057C4
Reach 205 cm with the Rapid column raised, or 180 cm with it down. The four-section carbon-fibre tripod weighs 3.5 kg.

The dedicated column adapter supports low-angle work. Combined with the leg-angle settings, it enables the tripod’s 23 cm minimum height.

Choose 23°, 50° or 75° to suit the working position. Fold the four-section legs to a 66.5 cm transport length.

The integrated bubble level helps you level the tripod before adjusting the separately selected head.
The Rapid centre column has a non-rotating triangular profile to help keep the setup aligned as the column moves. Its 80 mm top disc and male 3/8″ screw provide the mounting interface for a compatible tripod head; the head is not included.
The round carbon-fibre legs have user-adjustable flip locks for quick release and secure locking of the individual sections. The tightening key is attached to a tripod leg, so it remains readily accessible when the locks need adjustment.
The 20 kg safety payload is specified under UNI/PdR 105:2021. Choose a compatible head and keep the complete setup within the limits of all its components. One bubble level helps with levelling; Easy Link is not provided and a carrying bag is not included.
