Manfrotto's new 190 series
The new 190 is a unique tripod that impresses with its high compactness and portability. It offers versatile adjustment options for even more imagination and creativity when taking photos. It is characterised by its excellent build quality and offers professional features.
A special feature of the MT190XPRO and MT190CXPRO series is the 90° centre column system. In addition to vertical extension, it also allows horizontal movement, offering you amazing possibilities when shooting. The MT190XPRO and MT190CXPRO series are extremely versatile tripods and are suitable for a wide range of different photo and video applications. The mechanism for tilting the centre column horizontally is integrated into the tripod shoulder and can be quickly and easily extended when required. The centre column can be tilted from vertical to horizontal without laboriously unscrewing the tripod. Even the camera can remain attached to the tripod.
The individual legs of the new MT190 tripods can be extended extremely quickly, individually adjusted and securely locked in place using the leg quick-release fasteners. Thanks to the special design of the leg quick-release fasteners, you can operate the individual fasteners conveniently and securely with one hand. When closed, the focusers on each tripod leg can be released with a single movement. The special design of the quick-release fasteners allows each leg extension to be fixed even more securely. The tripod is therefore more stable and rigid than tripods with conventional leg locks. With the intuitive and ergonomic adjustment of the angle of the legs, each individual leg can be quickly and easily fixed in the specified positions.
A spirit level is integrated into the upper part of the centre column to help you precisely adjust the image section. The spirit level can be rotated freely around the centre column. When setting up the tripod, it can therefore be easily moved into a position that is easy for you to see, without being obstructed by a head or camera or by controls for the head or camera.
The tripod shoulders of the new MT190 series have an Easy Link connection for attaching photo or video accessories (e.g. LED light, flash unit, reflector or other equipment) to an extendable arm or holder. This allows you to transform the tripod into an extremely practical, mobile studio.
A summary of the new features:
- Stable & quick to set up
Less time setting up the tripod means more time taking photos! The new 190 series is easier and quicker to set up than ever before and can be adapted to suit your needs – thanks in part to the new Quick Power Lock system. The QPL allows each leg lock to be opened in a flash with a single movement. - Compact solution
The new Q90 degree flip mechanism allows for a smaller pack size and thus significantly increases portability. - Effortlessly adjustable
The centre columncan be swivelled into a horizontal position without dismantling the tripod, head or camera thanks to the one-finger mechanism. - More possibilities
Thanks to its "Easy Link" connection (3/8" internal thread), the new 190 series offers the possibility of integrating even more accessories. This opens up new, undreamt-of possibilities for photography. Also ideal for VDSLR applications.
This further development of the classic is manufactured by Manfrotto in Italy. It is available in aluminium (MT190XPRO) and carbon (MT190CXPRO), each with 3 or 4 leg segments.
