Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 Aluminium Tripod 160cm

The main feature of the 190XPRO3 is its 90° centre column mechanism, which lets you extend the column either vertically as usual or horizontally, opening up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities. This makes the 190XPRO3 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide range of photo and video applications. The horizontal column mechanism is housed in the top casting of the tripod for compactness, but it can be extended easily and quickly whenever needed. Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly and can be done even with a camera attached.

 

The legs of the 190XPRO3 tripod can also be extended and adjusted quickly thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers, which lock and unlock each leg section. The special design of the QPL levers gives a more comfortable and stronger one-handed grip on the leg locks. In the folded position, each leg section can be released in a single movement. The QPL lever design also provides stronger locking of each section, making the tripod more stable and rigid than with traditional lever designs. Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors let you set each leg independently and firmly at any of the preset angles, again providing considerable freedom of positioning. 

 

A bubble level indicator is built into the top of the centre column for precise levelling of the frame. The bubble level rotates freely around the centre column, so it can be placed where it is easiest to see while adjusting the tripod, and it is not hidden behind the mounted head and camera or in the way of the head's or camera's controls.

 

The top casting of the 190XPRO3 has an Easy Link connector for supporting photo or video accessories (such as an LED light, flash, reflector or other equipment) on an extension arm or bracket, turning the tripod into a practical mobile studio.
