Bogen Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Aluminum Pro Tripod description
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

Lovin' it!

I've fallen in love with this tripod. I am a beginner and am I am slowly upgrading my photography equipment. Upgraded to this from a Sunpak which was much bigger but much less stable. I have paired it with a Bogen-Manfrotto 322 RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System.
My camera (K10D with battery grid) and heaviest lens together weigh 11 pounds. This tripod is stable in all configurations with the center column used vertically. Even with the center column extended horizontally, by paying attention to which direction the legs are pointed, and adding counterweight to the attached hook, (at the head), this tripod is rock solid.
I love the fact that this tripod has adjustable tension for all its adjustments and comes with the tool needed attached to one of the legs.
I DO have two minor quips, and they are very minor indeed. There is no handle or strap included with this tripod, (I guess they want to sell you ACCESSORIES!), and you must partially open one leg to carry this tripod. My other (tiny) complaint would be adding a hook to the bottom of the center column for using it horizontally. With a hook you would be able to use less wieght to counterbalance your camera/lens. Again the dreaded ACCESSORIES.
This tripod is not light, but not as heavy as others I have shopped. If you really want light, look at carbon, you will be disappointed here. I am sure there are better, lighter tripods on the market, but haven't seen any in this price range.
For the price, this is a fantastic piece of equipment and I look forward to using this for a while.
