Manfrotto 190XPRO Aluminium 3 Section Tripod with Horizontal Column

Product Information

This Manfrotto tripod can also contribute to better client relations and faster shoots, as it allows you and your client to review the images on the viewfinder together.

And once again while the Canon 550D / T2i isn’t a heavy body, it is representative of the DSLRs in most common use. Certainly if you do have higher-end bodies and large lenses, the 055 range will be much more suitable than the 190, but the latter will be more than sufficient for most body and lens combinations in general use.Secondly with nine locking latches compared to six, they’ll take a little longer to extend and fold away than three-legged versions, and of course there’s greater chance of mechanical failure.

This makes the 190XPROB an almost perfect tripod for shooting low-to-ground nature photography, without having to lie prone.Manfrotto also offers a horizontal accessory arm (3059B) that mounts atop your existing tripod legset but it also limits you to 90 degrees. SWOP: We will swap out any optic purchased from us within 60 days of the purchase and exchange it for another brand, size, style as appropriate. All the PRO models offer built-in spirit levels: on the carbon fiber versions they’re integrated into the top plate, and on the aluminium ones they’re part of the lower Q90 section. The black Manfrotto 190XPROB Aluminum Tripod builds on the success of the 3001 series and replaces the 3001PRO model. So it’d be fair to add around 15 to 20cm to the tripod plate height to reach the viewfinder level of a typical DSLR.

With the wing-nut loosened, the oval section may rattle a little disconcertingly, but once tightened it feels rock-solid and we never experienced any issues with slippage while testing. Again it may not be as light as the 190CXPRO3, nor as tall as the 055 models, but it does deliver great performance and flexibility for the money.

The 190 range are scaled-down versions which are smaller and lighter, but in turn handle less weight and don’t extend as high.

The new 190X aluminium 3-section tripod with head enables you to frame and shoot creatively thanks to its innovative ground level adaptor. Interestingly though, there may be a way to have your cake and eat it – at least with the pricier carbon fiber models anyway.

Prodotto affidabile, avevo la versione entry level e volevo qualcosa di più prestante, dopo molto leggere in rete ho scelto il 190xprob per la possibilità di inclinare la colonna centrale e di scegliere quanto allargare i piedi per poter fare macrofotografia, leggero grazie al materiale: alluminio e molto robusto, sopporta molto bene il peso del mio canon 70-200 f/2,8 L, rifinito molto bene; la testa è la classica a tre movimenti, inclinazione, basculaggio e rotazione, precisa nel movimento e nel bloccaggio, cosa aggiungere: MADE IN ITALY. The actual numbers may also have you rethinking your technique, especially if you regularly trigger self-timers by hand and not cable release. We chose the Manfrotto 701HDV head (pictured opposite) for our vibration tests, which uses a fork to support the camera plate on both sides rather than just one side on a traditional three-way model. I liked the quick release of the head and feel of the handles which allow you to switch from landscape to portrait modes quickly and easily.Likewise if you want to mount particularly large and heavy cameras or lenses, the greater load-handling of the 055 range will be preferred. But beyond verifying these facts, it’s the caveats and qualifications which are particularly interesting.
