Tripod for Macro Photography

Many tripods have a removable/reversible center-column that allows you to mount the camera upside down, or horizontally, so it's about as low as you can get and still be on a tripod. One good tripod that will do this is the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 055 but there are several others.

Hmm, i have a Manfrotto, I was able to extend the legs, I was able to take the center rounded bar or stick. But couldn't figure it out how to mount he camera because the head that you put the camera on it is attached to that bar. Am I doing something wrong ?

What model Manfrotto do you have? I have the 055XPROB and it can get really low.
