Newly redesigned, the 190XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal centre column feature even easier to use. Now, by extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung round to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved.
The legs can be set at four different angles - 25, 46, 66 and 88 degrees. Flip lever leg locks make opening, positioning and closing fast and easy. The tension of the locking mechanism is user-adjustable, and all parts can be easily serviced or replaced.
This model includes the patented Q90 system. This ingenious system allows the user to move the central column from vertical to horizontal position in just seconds without having to disassemble the column. The center column can be used horizontally as an extending arm, or vertically (both right-way-up and upside-down). When used horizontally, it can be turned through 360 degrees around the tripod, and is useful for macro work, low angle shooting, extreme balance points and off-centre work. This also makes the tripod a helpful accessory for chair-bound photographers, who can sit beside instead of behind the tripod, therefore much closer to the camera viewfinder.
This is a very clever tripod which is, as you would expect from Manfrotto, beautifully made.
This tripod has both a 1/4" and 3/8" male screw thread, allowing almost any head to be fitted.
This model is one of the extensive range of tripods we have on display in our recently-extended showroom in Leamington Spa. We have over twenty different tripods on display - it is now one of the largest touch-and-try displays anywhere in the UK. You are welcome to come and experiment with them to help find the one that best suits your needs.
