The black, redesigned Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 Tripod with XPRO Ball Headfrom Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 Tripod with XPRO Ball Headbuilds on the success and popularity of the previous 190 series with professional hardware and convenience features that make it even easier to use than its predecessor.

Set up is faster than ever with Manfrotto's Quick Power Lock System that allows you to completely extend the tripod legs with just one hand. Once set up you can use the MT190XPRO3's rapid center column in standard vertical mode or swing it into horizontal position like a boom with Manfrotto's 90° Column feature. Enlarged tabs on the individual leg angle selectors allow you to get down to only 3.5" for macro work with the column in horizontal mode. And once you're down there you can attach any of Manfrotto's flexible or articulated arms to hold lights or reflectors via the Easy Link plug built into the tripod's spider.

Convenience features include grippy, rubber leg warmers on two legs for cold or inclement weather and a bubble level that rotates so that you can see it easily regardless of the tripod's position. Finally, Manfrotto's insistence on form following function has yielded a tripod that you'll not only be happy to use but you'll be happy to be seen with, too.

Working Height Range: 8.3 to 67.5"    Folds to 27.7"    Load Capacity: 33 lb    90° Column Feature    3 Leg Sections    Weighs 5.5 lb    Quick Power Leg Locks    2 Bubble Levels on Head    Independent 360° Pan Lock

The Quick Power Lock (QPL) system is one of the most eye-catching and unique features of the redesigned 190. It is a strong, ultra fast, ergonomic locking system that allows for complete extension of the legs with one hand.

One of the most innovative aspects of the 190 series is its compactness, which allows for easier portability. The redesigned patented 90° Column is accessible whenever you need it with simple one finger operation.

The plug allows instant connection between tripod and accessories, such as LED lights for macro photography and DSLR video applications using Manfrotto articulated arms and brackets.

The bubble is easy to read, whatever the shape of the head or however the tripod is positioned. Just rotate it towards you for easy viewing.

Each leg has user selection of four angles to accommodate uneven ground or rough terrain. The selectors are manufactured according to most innovative ergonomic standards to prevent fingers and nails being trapped in the upper casting.

The entire shape of the tripod has been modified and made more manageable and stylish. The complete redesign of its functional elements shows a particular attention to aesthetics and details: the brand name, for example, appears in many sections of the new 190, including the two legwarmers made of comfortable rubber to provide a secure grip and prevent the conduction of heat and cold in extreme weather conditions.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this work well as a support for my Ikan 31 camera slider?

A: I also have a 24'' slider with this tripod- but I would be careful using a slider with more length.. depending on what kind of rig you have up top, there could be enough weight to create some wobble- I would recommend using 2 tripods.

Q: 2. Can this tripod hold Canon 5d Mark IV with a Canon 600mm f4 lens?

A: No .. i would not recommend using a ball head of any kind with a big heavy lens like a 600mm f/4. it may support the weight. but it would be dangerously unstable. the first time you let go of the camera without having it locked down. it's going to flop down, lens dive. even possibly hard enough to damage the lens mount. or topple the whole rig over. if you spent the big bucks for the good glass. get a serious support set up. for a lens that large. I'd recommend a Wimberley WH 2 II, and a Gitzo 4 series tripod. the best tool for the job. the choice of most professionals. and made specifically for setups like yours. of course you can get them both a B&H ..

Q: 3. will the half-ball 75mm Manfrotto 502a fluid head work on this tripod ?
