Manfrotto MK190XPRO3-BHQ2 Aluminium Tripod with XPRO Ball Head and 200 Pro Light QR Plate

The Manfrotto MK190XPRO3-BHQ2 Aluminium Tripod combines the robust MT190XPRO3 tripod legs with the MHXPRO-BHQ2 XPRO Ball Head, featuring a 200PL quick release clamp and plate. Supporting up to 15kg and extending to 171cm, it weighs just 2.5kg and uses the Quick Power Lock System for easy one-handed leg extension. Its rapid centre column can be used vertically or swung horizontally with Manfrotto’s innovative 90° Column feature, offering greater flexibility for creative shooting angles.

Enlarged tabs on the individual leg angle selectors allow you to get down to only 3.5″ for macro work with the column in horizontal mode. You can attach any of Manfrotto’s flexible or articulated arms to hold lights or reflectors via the Easy Link plug built into the tripod’s spider. Convenient features include grippy, rubber leg grips on two legs for comfort in cold weather and a bubble level that rotates so that you can see it easily regardless of the tripod’s position.

The included ball head lets you fine tune your adjustments thanks to separate knobs for both the ball and the 360° panning, as well as a friction control knob for more exacting placement. The 200PL quick release clamp and plate allow for quick camera attachment and removal, and two bubble levels let you adjust your camera so the horizon is level. A numbered scale around the base of the head makes repeating exact pans an easy task.

Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 Aluminium Tripod

The black, redesigned MT190XPRO3 Aluminium Tripod from Manfrotto builds on the success and popularity of the previous 190 series with professional hardware and convenience features that make it even easier to use than its predecessor.

Set up is faster than ever with Manfrotto’s Quick Power Lock System that allows you to completely extend the tripod legs with just one hand. Once set up you can use the MT190XPRO3’s rapid center column in standard vertical mode or swing it into horizontal position like a boom with Manfrotto’s 90° Column feature. Enlarged tabs on the individual leg angle selectors allow you to get down to only 3.5″ for macro work with the column in horizontal mode. And once you’re down there you can attach any of Manfrotto’s flexible or articulated arms to hold lights or reflectors via the Easy Link plug built into the tripod’s spider.

Convenience features include grippy, rubber leg warmers on two legs for cold or inclement weather and a bubble level that rotates so that you can see it easily regardless of the tripod’s position. Finally, Manfrotto’s insistence on form following function has yielded a tripod that you’ll not only be happy to use but you’ll be happy to be seen with, too.

Fast Setup with QPL

The Quick Power Lock (QPL) system is one of the most eye-catching and unique features of the redesigned 190. It is a strong, ultra fast, ergonomic locking system that allows for complete extension of the legs with one hand.

90° Column

One of the most innovative aspects of the 190 series is its compactness, which allows for easier portability. The redesigned patented 90° Column is accessible whenever you need it with simple one finger operation.

Easy Link Plug

The plug allows instant connection between tripod and accessories, such as LED lights for macro photography and DSLR video applications using Manfrotto articulated arms and brackets.

Rotating Leveling Bubble

The bubble is easy to read, whatever the shape of the head or however the tripod is positioned. Just rotate it towards you for easy viewing.

Leg Angle Selectors

Each leg has user selection of four angles to accommodate uneven ground or rough terrain. The selectors are manufactured according to most innovative ergonomic standards to prevent fingers and nails being trapped in the upper casting.

Manfrotto’s Eye to Style and Design Detail

The entire shape of the tripod has been modified and made more manageable and stylish. The complete redesign of its functional elements shows a particular attention to aesthetics and details: the brand name, for example, appears in many sections of the new 190, including the two legwarmers made of comfortable rubber to provide a secure grip and prevent the conduction of heat and cold in extreme weather conditions.

Manfrotto XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate

This XPRO Magnesium Ball Head from Manfrotto features an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate. RC2 compatible quick release plates such as the 200PL-14 can be removed from the head by pulling the cam lock’s spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be instantly reattached. The cam lock also features a safety catch to prevent the 200PL-14, or another compatible quick release plate from accidentally disconnecting.

The XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate has a load capacity of 15.02 kg and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8″-16 mount. By loosening this XPRO Magnesium Ball Head’s primary locking knob, its ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. Toward the ball head’s base is a secondary locking knob that controls the ability to rotate the head 360°. An additional knob opposite the secondary locking knob can be rotated to apply tension control to the ball-and-socket joint’s movements.

Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4″-20 mount can be connected to the 200PL-14 quick release plate which measures 1.7 x 2.1 x 0.4″ and has a rubberised, non-slip surface.
