Manfrotto Tripod

[BirderOzzie]

Hi all,

I have a Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod, which has a central column which you can turn horizontally - this is fantastic for macro work, but when I have a Manfrotto 393 tripod head on top and I want to get a low angle, it is impossible! I know there are tripods which have no central column, and my question is, is it possible to make mine into one with no central column and then be able to put the column back in when I want to do macro work?

Thanks,

Oscar

You can reverse the column and work upside down as it were

Yes you can - I have both of these for my 190 but these are the 55 versions. Sounds like the second one is the one you want -
