Manfrotto Tripod Kit MK190XPRO3-BHQ2 Ball head

The new Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 is a 3-piece aluminium tripod with many new features and a very high build quality. It is a kind of miniature version of the classic Manfroto 055 from the foot. Its seven kilogram carrying capacity is quite sufficient for most modern cameras. It reaches a maximum height of around 160 centimetres, although it weighs only 2.6 kilos. When assembled, the tripod is a modest 59cm long.

One of the important features of the 190XPRO3 is the 90° centre tube mechanism, which allows the normal centre tube to be raised vertically or rotated horizontally, this creates the possibility to shoot very low by adjusting the tripod legs to the lowest position or a whole new angle of view. Changing the centre tube from vertical to horizontal requires no disassembly and can even be done with the camera attached to the tripod. This feature makes it ideal for the natural light macro photographer, for example.

The XPRO series is also equipped with a wadupass located on top of the central tube in the mounting base. The vat passport rotates freely around the centre tube so that it can be moved to a point where it is easy to check. The vat pass allows you to easily and quickly adjust the stand in a straight line.

The Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 tripod legs are quickly extendable and adjustable. Thanks to the included Quick Power Locks that allow you to lock and unlock each part separately. The QPL locks are specially designed to be more comfortable and also give you a stronger grip with one hand. The QPL lock design also allows each section to be locked more tightly, making the stand more stable and rigid than stands with traditional locks.

The Manfrotto XPRO ball head has a three-piece locking mechanism to ensure a secure and stable camera position. A friction control helps the photographer to balance the weight of the accessories and the two screwdrivers also allow fine adjustment even with the locks open. New polymer rings ensure smooth, precise and even movements. The XPRO ball head is lightweight and reliable. It is made of magnesium and weighs only 0.5 kg, but can withstand loads of up to 10 kg. The BHQ2 head includes a Manfrotto 200 pl quick release plate. Lateral tilt -90 / +40 degrees head tilt. 360 degrees panoramic rotation.
