Technical Details


Product Description

The model with three section aluminum legs is the right choice for providing high stability even when using long lenses. Moreover, the limited number of sections cut down the set up time. This tripod features the new QUICK POWER LOCK (QPL). This system is a strong, ultra fast and ergonomic locking system that allows for complete extension of the legs with one–hand opening. One of the most innovative aspects of the new 190 is its compactness, which allows for easier portability. The new patented 90° column is accessible when you need it to be, with a quick ‘one finger’ operation. The new 190 allows you to create a portable photographic studio, thanks to the new "Easy link" plug, which enables instant connection between tripod and accessories, such as LED lights for Macro Photography and VDSLR applications through arms and brackets. The new patented Rotating Leveling Bubble is quick to set up and allows you to position the tripod more precisely. It is easy to read, whatever the shape of the head or however the tripod is set up. The new Leg Angle Selectors are also easy to set up, as they are made following the most innovative ergonomic standards and 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 re-design of its functional elements shows a particular attention to aesthetics and details.

So I’m looking at my new MT190XPRO3. It is the newest aluminum model in the Manfrotto 190 Pro series, which is a compact version of the Manfrotto 055 Pro series, which started its life as a knock-off of the old 70’s British Benbo tripod (which I have owned). I wanted something compact with a lateral column and thought I would give this tripod a shot. It’s my first tripod purchase in a long time, so I’m a bit critical. Also I should tell you up front that I’m an opinionative S.O.B., so like any review, take what I say with a grain of salt.

This tripod folds down to just over 23 inches, which is lovely, but too large to fit in a carry-on airline luggage. Still, the ability to fold down below 2 feet means that you can sling it horizontally on your back or affix to the side of your backpack comfortably. It weighs around 4.5 pounds, so it’s not something you’ll want to carry if you plan on hiking through a jungle or snowcapped mountain for 10 hours to get that perfect shot… But for most of us who are willing to trade stability for weight, then this tripod is worth carrying around. If weight over stability is of paramount importance, then you might want to consider another make or model.

First let’s start with the 90 Degree legs. Ever since my first Berlebach, I’ve always loved this feature on travel tripods. It comes in handy more often than you would think if you’re shooting outside. The most common utilization is shooting in a shallow stream where you need to be close to the water. Pulling all the legs out 90 degrees will allow you to shoot 4 inches from the ground. If you usually carry a beanbag to shoot on the ground, you can leave it at home now and remove some weight from your kit.

I purchased this with a Manfrotto 498RC2 ball head; I use a Sony SLT A-65 with a Sony SAL18250 zoom lens; camera and lens weigh 2lbs 8oz. My rating is my initial reaction; I'll update the review after I use it this coming week.

I went shopping to compare the 055XPROB with the 190XPROB; I was also looking for the elusive (and discontinued) 190XPROL which is a bit longer than the PROB. I wanted the 190 over the 055 for the lower weight; but was afraid it wouldn't be tall enough for me (6'1"). I ultimately chose the newer version of the 190 the MT190XPRO3.

Setting it up in the store it seemed like the height would not be an issue. When I got home I mounted my camera on it and took some measurements. I have it set up so that the center of the camera eyepiece is 68 1/2" off the ground. With the legs extended I raise the post until the bottom of the tripod head plate is 60" tall. With the 498RC2 mounted, center of the camera eyepiece rises another 8" above the top tripod head plate. The other 1/2" must be in the size of the tripod head. This configuration requires the center post to be raised 6" leaving 3 3/4" of the center post exposed; the center post housing is about 3" tall.

It is very stable at this height (but so far I'm indoors). I like the ability to mount the center post horizontally; but I'll have to use my SAL1835 prime lens in this configuration because my zoom lens slips when vertical; not the tripods fault.

The tripod and ball head weigh in at 5lbs 11oz which is a bit heavier than I wished for; but light enough given I couldn't afford the carbon version. It weighs almost the same as my older Slik PRO500DX with the tilt/pan head.

If you are comparing this with the 055XPROB and wonder if it will be tall enough for you, I hope this information helps.

Manfrotto knows how to make solid gear. This is my second tripod from them. The only complaint is the feet at the bottom don't fit as snugly as they should. There is a screw in the middle that can be tightened, but I didn't know that until I came home from shooting in the desert at night and found one had fallen out.

This stand is probably one of the finest pieces of engineering I have seen in a long time. It's very stable and yet easy to manipulate and carry. It is a little bit heavier than I expected but not by much. I'm not crazy about the 90 degree rotating feature but I also use a joystick head on top of it. I do really like the locks they use for the legs which I find myself using all the time as I adjust the height of the tripod. I actually bought this to use with my DSLR but I like it so much I've started to use it with my spotting scope when I go to the range and pretty much any time I need a tripod. I would definitely recommend it.

Bought on the recommendation on a birder website as a stable platform for optics. Also bought a Manfrotto head recommended on the same site. Best tripod I have tried so far for stability with both a spotting scope and a Nikon DSLR.

This tripod is everything I wanted. It is sturdy enough to hold my Nikon DSLR with a 75-300 lens steady, and is not too heavy to carry. With the built-in spirit level it is easy to set level and with a pistol-grip ball head it adjusts in seconds. The Q90 column adjusts easily for macro work as well as overhead shots. I highly recommend it.
