Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod

I bought the Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod out of necessity from Amazon.com . I was trying to take very detailed images of small parts from an overhead position and I was struggling. Then I stumbled across the 055XPROB which can go vertical to horizontal in seconds. With the right tripod head (in my case the Manfrotto 3437 3D) your options are unlimited.

The entire setup was a bit of a financial risk for. This head alone cost almost as much as the most expensive tripods I had purchased previously.
