manfrotto 190xprob 3 section aluminum pro tripod
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 color black includes tripod head no closed length 22.4 inches minimum height 3.3 inches maximum height 57.5 inches maximum height with center column down 48 inches load capacity 11 pounds material aluminum leg cross section round column cross section 3-faceted leg sections 3 bubble spirit level 1 leg angles 25 46 66 and 88 degrees center column rapid section center column 1 column tube diameter 25mm attachment 3 8-inch screw leg tube diameter 25 20 and 16 mm suggested dolly 127 127vs weight 4 pounds warranty 2 years
