It is heavy when compared to the Manfrotto travel tripods. It feels and looks sturdy. I bought it with the short handled 3-way head. I wasn't sure about the short handles, but I like how unobtrusive they are to use. Plus, the tension adjustment.

Excellent and very solid. Not for your mountain back packer as it is a bit heavy. Very stable and so quick to setup at full height. Love it!
I use this tripod for outdoor landscape photography, macro, product shots and long exposure work and it's great for the money. It's very sturdy in construction, made from aluminium, and collapses down to a moderately portable size.
Durable; Great Features; Simple Controls
Bulky; Fiddly To Splay Legs
I bought this tripod for use with a spotting scope, a chronograph and a camera. It came fully assembled and ready to go. I have used it in all 3 roles and it works better than expected. The next test is to take it on a hiking trip and see how it performs in difficult terrain.
Study, easy to use, smooth ball head controls. A great tripod for the money for serious photographers.
Used with the Manfrotto 553 angle bracket it will allow spotting scope or binoculars to be right where you need them when shooting rockchucks or prairie dogs.
This is my first tripod for many years as in the past I thought they were a complete waste of time. But now I am more interested in long exposure shots and this one fits the bill. I would like to also state that I am very impressed with Camerasdirect as I ordered the tripod on Friday and it arrived...
The Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 is a large but light professional tripod designed for general-purpose use. It's one of the tallest and strongest models in the range, but surprisingly light thanks to its carbon fiber construction.
This a must have tripod if you are looking for something that is sturdy as well as lightweight. I know it comes with a heavy price tag but thats what you have to pay for traveling light. If weight is not an issue get the 055XPROB which is also an excellent product that comes at 10k!
The 055 is one of the most popular tripods and has been overhauled with a 100% carbon fibre centre column.
Carbon fibre construction; Lightweight; Increased load tolerance; Q90 horizontal centre column
Lighter weight could reduce sturdiness; No spiked feet
