## Description

Product Description The X-PRO 3-Way Head is Manfrotto's most compact, precise and reliable 3-way photographic head.The compact closed size that makes the X-PRO so easy to pack and carry is down to its retractable levers that can be extended when needed. With the levers retracted and folded for transport, the space occupied by the head is only 13cm x 13.5cm x 13.5cm (5.1" x 5.3" x 5.3"). Friction controls on the X-PRO 3-Way Head's tilt and portrait axes help balance the weight of camera equipment so that fine framing adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open, only locking everything down once everything's ready. And with 3 leveling bubbles on the head, composition can be levelled precisely in-camera, reducing post production work. Sturdily built with a rugged aluminium body for reliability and durability, the X-PRO supports up to 8 kg (17.6 lbs), but weighs only 1 kg (2.2 lbs).The X-PRO 3-Way Head is made in Italy by Manfrotto.Attachment: 3/8" female thread attachment type Colour: Black colorFront tilt: -30 / +90 tilt range Independent pan lock: YesIndependent tilt lock: YesLateral tilt: -30 / +90 tilt rangeMaterial: AluminumPanoramic rotation: 360 degreesPatent: Pat. pendingPlate type: Quick release - with 1/4-20" screwQuick release: YesSecondary safety system: yesSafety payload: 8 kgWeight: 1 kgWorking height: 13.0 cm Box Contains Manfrotto X-Pro -3 Way Head

Review: A Solid Choice for Professionals - As with most Manfrotto products, this 3-way head lives up to the brand's reputation for quality and reliability. I’ve been using it daily for my interior photography work, and I can confidently say it offers a professional-grade experience. What I Like: The movement across all three axes is impressively fluid, smooth and precise. Whether I’m adjusting for verticals or levelling out a scene, the control is exactly where I need it to be. The quick-release plate fits perfectly, and the release mechanism is simple yet secure. Two friction controls allow for very precise adjustments, which is essential for my work. Considering the build and performance, the price is excellent—just under £130 on desertcart. It’s robust, well-built, and clearly designed to handle regular use. What Could Be Better: It is slightly heavier than my previous head (the MG465), which can be noticeable during long shoots or when moving quickly between locations. Also, the silver friction wheels, while solid, look a bit plasticky due to the silver finish. A matte black option would have looked far more premium and matched the rest of the build better. Final Verdict: Despite minor aesthetic gripes, this head earns a solid 5 stars from me. It’s reliable, smooth, and clearly built with professional use in mind. I’d recommend it to any photographer looking for a dependable and precise tripod head—especially if you're into interior or architectural work.
Review: Superbly Made, Smooth and Accurate - I work overseas and my wife being stuck at home in the UK has used the time to develop her photography skills to well beyond what I can achieve. One of the things she has been concentrating on needs good control of the camera on her tripod which, is doeable with a ball head but this allows far, far better fine control. So, over to my wife for her opinion on this excellent bit of kit. This was a wedding anniversary present from my husband as flowers don't last and this is probably comparable in price to a decent size bouquet from Interflora. Nothing against flowers - they're just not my thing unless they are being photographed. I'm, I think, what you would call a keen amateur photographer, still learning and probably will be for a long time. Most photographers have an interest in a certain area and mine comes under the heading of 'faffing'. I'll never be an action photographer as I take too much time composing and thinking about my shots which, is why this was such an ideal present for me - my husband knows me just too darn well! Once I had got the existing ball head off my tripod (that was a little difficult) this gear head simply screwed on to the top plate - and it was probably at that moment I knew we were going to get along just fine. The shoe has a quick release so is very easily and swiftly attached and removed and once the camera is mounted feels very sturdy. There are three control handles for panning, levelling and tilting, the levelling and tilting handles pull out to make controlling the movement more precise, and push back in so the unit is compact when stored. I have used this with a Sony A6100, which, is a slightly compact camera in design and the insertion and removal of the SD card (as it is located at the bottom) can be hindered by other ball heads. The door can be blocked by the shoe and the camera has to be removed from the head in order to review footage. With this gear head I can remove the SD card without the need to remove the camera which, in turn means however I have set the camera up for a shot it remains intact whilst I am checking the SD card's contents. This gear head is a big step up for me from my previous pistol grip head and it enables me to make small adjustments when I am setting up a shot and has been very successful in the close up shots I like to faff with, where minute adjustments are needed. Due to lockdown, I haven't ventured far from my house for landscapes, but I can only imagine how much easier straightening the horizon will be with this gear head. There are way more expensive versions of this type of gear head, and like everything with photography, you can soon end up paying a small fortune for bits of kit. I'm not sure more expensive ones would perform any better than this, as for the cost, this one certainly seems to perform exactly as I wanted it to. So, there you have it from The Boss and I'll throw in some of her photos she has taken using this. I will say that I note when uploaded to desertcart they seem to have rotated which, I have no idea how to prevent. In my computer they are saved in the correct orientation. I would also add that my wife also has a Sony A7 which also works perfectly with this gear head even with a 200mm G lens on it. It's plenty roust enough for almost all camera/lens setups I would think.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Have  Essential Tremor  in left hand. Do fashion photography as hobby.  Wud this head easily alternate between portrait and landscape? Thanks Paddy**
A: The two larger adjustment knobs are sturdy and pull out on a firm metal rod about 3 inches. This allows adjustments using the hand/palm grip to be used for loosening and tightening rather than using more fidgety fine finger movements. If you consider the Manfrotto head as the fulcrum any movement of the extended lever needs less effort with a wider lever movement translating into a finer camera image adjustment. The height rotation knob needs fingers to adjust but a benign essential tremor wouldn't be a problem here.  Raising the height is simply like twisting a key held between thumb and index +/- middle fingers of one hand. The camera connecting plate doesn't require fine finger movements for secure fitting. Basically, a good grip with ability to rotate the wrist plus a good thumb to index grip is all that is needed with no concerns if fine finger movements are a problem. The Manfrotto head is a sturdy piece of kit and I believe you'd be able to use with complete confidence - even if the tremor was bilateral.Hope this helps & all the best.

**Q: Is the quick-release plate a 200PL (like the BeFree)?**
A: The head comes with the quick release plate 200PL

**Q: Does the head come with a 200PL-14 plate, or do I need to buy one separately? It's not clear from the description or from Manfrotto's website.**
A: My head came with a plate to attach it to the camera. I never ordered one separately. Lovely piece of kit, by the way.

**Q: Will this head fit a 679B monopod?**
A: HiYes it will fit.RegardsJanet

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Equipment for other equipment
*by N***G on 4 August 2025*

Perfect, its self explanatory and over time I do not expect any looseness in the joints, the mechanism is well made and I expect durable. I have used this tripod for over 30 years and recently purchased this new attachment, the lock is sturdy and has little give, I feel confident there will be no slipping, it's tight and strong.
