Manfrotto Levelling Centre Column for the new 055

The Manfrotto 055LC Levelling Centre Column is a 500 g aluminum upgrade for new 055 series tripods, featuring a lockable half-ball with 3/8"-16 male screw, built-in bubble level, and grip-operated release—enabling ±15° fast leveling of photo/video heads without individual leg adjustments.

A precision leveling solution for 055 users, the Manfrotto 055LC replaces the standard center column with a robust half-ball mechanism that decouples head tilt from leg angles. The integrated bubble level and ergonomic bottom grip allow one-hand locking/unlocking for rapid horizon correction on uneven terrain—perfect for landscape, architecture, or video panning. The 3/8"-16 top screw accepts any compatible head, while the column retains full height adjustment. At just 500 g, it’s the ultimate time-saver for pros who demand perfect framing without fiddling with three legs separately.
