Editorial Review: Product Description: Newly redesigned, the 190XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal center column feature even easier to use. Now, by extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung around 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. Amazon.com Product Description: The Manfrotto 190XPROB three-section tripod is ultra stable, flexible, and easy to use, making it a great choice for professional photographers everywhere. The tripod is distinguished by its Manfrotto-patented horizontal center column, which has been completely redesigned to create a more user-friendly feel. By extending the column to its highest vertical position, users can now swing the tripod round to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself. This makes switching between framing and positioning setups more convenient than ever. In addition, Manfrotto improved the ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick-action leg locks, making it a breeze to open, position, and close the tripod in just a few seconds. The tension of the locking mechanism is even user-adjustable, so you can find the right tension for your comfort level. The tripod's unique design allows the photographer to use the center column horizontally as an extending arm or vertically (both right-way-up and upside-down). When used horizontally, the center column can be turned 360 degrees around the tripod, making it useful for macro work, low-angle shooting, extreme balance points, and off-center work. This also makes the tripod a helpful accessory for chair-bound photographers, who can sit beside the tripod instead of behind it, putting them much closer to the camera viewfinder. Should you need to balance the tripod on an uneven surface, you can set each of the legs to a different spread angle over the tripod's center of gravity--a must for nature shots on outdoor terrain. This also allows you to adjust the tripod to several different heights, with four preset independent leg angles and a spring-loaded step mechanism for extra stability. Specifications

 Rating:  - Rock SolidGot this tripod together with the Manfroto Midi Ball Head for my Pentax K20D and related gear. It definitely bestows a high degree of confidence that this tripod will hold the most extensive of bodies and lenses without any issue. The tripod (together with the head) is bulky, but at the same time it is very stable and less subject to vibration or shaking due to wind. The legs can be spread out wide enough that the tripod is almost at ground level. Additionally, the center column can ... Read More Rating: - Sturdy and useful tripod for extended trips and field useI bought this tripod for a trip from the USA to central Siberia in order to image the total solar eclipse there in Aug 2008. The tripod is a bit on the heavy side, but it is always worth having something a bit more on the heavy and sturdy side than having something that shakes... especially in windy conditions... like in Siberia that day! The wind was a constant 25mph+ gusts up to 40mph. The tripod stayed put. No issues. I recommend it. Nice features for winter users: foamed legs. A hook for hanging ... Read More Rating: - Great general purpose tripodBogen/Manfrotto has been making great tripods for a very long time. The 190XPROB is a variation on the old 3021 by Bogen. Let me start by saying that this tripod is not the lightest tripod out there, it might not be a great choice for a tripod to take hiking, but if you don't have to carry it long distances, this model will work very well for you. It is very stable and the adjustable center shaft allows for a very wide array of camera setups. It is simply very versatile. ... Read More Rating: - Good prosumer tripodThis is my first real tripod since I got serious about photography. Its not the lightest out there, but its weight to quality ratio is probably one of the best. Good price and build quality. I will probably buy another tripod for traveling, as this one combined with a good head, will weigh in on you on long trips. Rating:  - Works well - solid and usable I purchased this tripod from Amazon as part of a combo set with a head (which was better value for money). Over the past week, I've had a chance to really use it extensively, and here are my observations. 1) It fit very nicely into a bag that my fold-able chair came in (the kind you use at fireworks displays or soccer games), with room to spare. This meant I could save on buying an overpriced carry bag. 2) I carried it slung across my back (as you might wear a ... Read More |
