Hopefully Yelvertoft finds something of interest in the above, come back if you need any more.
regards Subzero.
Thanks subzero, this is just the kind of info I was after. I was under the impression that the 055 pro model (as opposed to other sub-species of the 055) also had the ability to put the centre column in a horizontal position. Perhaps this is a feature they have recently added to the 055 line?

One of the reasons I am thinking of adding to my tripod collection is specifically to get this feature, it will make still-life setups a whole lot easier.

It seems that from what you are saying, ("I'd draw a straw"), the MF3 is not worth the extra cash for my needs at least, as long as I can get the 055 with a horizontal arm option. If this isn't possible then it would have to be the MF3pro. I intend using it with the 141RC head.

Thanks again for your help.

Duncan
