The black, redesigned Manfrotto MT190CXPRO4 Carbon Fiber Tripod XPRO Headfrom Manfrotto MT190CXPRO4 Carbon Fiber Tripod XPRO 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. When the three leg sections and center column are fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 63", and its load capacity of 33 lb makes it a good choice for larger cameras. The tripod weighs 3.6 lb, and folds down to 20.6" for transport.

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 MT190CXPRO4'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 3.2" 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 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.

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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What does it weight--the listing gives 2 values

A: The legs are 3.5 lbs. and the head is 1.1 lbs. Total weight would then be 4.6 lbs.

Q: 2. Does it have a hook to hang something to weight it down?

A: The hook is actually a knob. It's on the side, between the legs. Since this tripod is made to be used at odd angles, and the center post trips to the side for copy work or odd backpacking fauna documenting, the knob is strategically placed in such away to allow all angles and uneven surfaces. It's excellent. May I suggest a ball-head to complete the versatility!? It's the best set-up I've ever had. I actually use my tripod now! Light and functional.
