This innovative 055LC Leveling Center Column from Manfrotto is a leveling system designed for select 055 series tripods. It allows you to quickly level your photo or video head independently from the tripod. A built-in 50mm half ball with a 15° range of movement is mounted on top of the center column, allowing the angle of the plate to be positioned separately from the rest of the tripod.

Locking and unlocking of the half ball is achieved via a turning grip on the bottom of the center column.The half ball-mounted plate has a male 3/8"-16 screw for attachment of a photo or video head, and a bubble spirit level for added ease of use.
