Manfrotto MK190XPRO4 Tripod & XPRO Ball Head With 200PL Plate This 190 kit comprises a super-compact 190XPRO4 4-section aluminium tripod & a portable, versatile ball head. Both tripod & head possess advanced features & excellent build quality. The key feature of this kit is the tripod's 90° centre column mechanism, which allows the column to be extended vertically as normal or horizontally. This makes it an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide range of photography applications. The horizontal column mechanism is housed within the tripod's top casting for compactness, but it is easily & quickly extended whenever you need it. Switching between vertical & horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly, & can even be done with a camera attached. The legs of the tripod are also fast to extend & adjust, thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers that block & unblock each leg section. The special design of the QPL levers allow a stronger & more comfortable single-handed leg lock grip. The sections of each leg on the tripod can be released from their folded position in a single movement. The QPL lever design also offers more powerful locking of each section, making this tripod more stable & rigid than traditional lever design models. Intuitive, ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently & solidly set to any of the preset angles, afford considerably greater positioning freedom. A bubble level is built in to the top of the centre column for precise framing. The bubble level rotates freely around the centre column, so it can be positioned wherever it's easiest for you to see while you adjust the tripod & without it either being obscured by the mounted head & camera. The tripod’s top casting has an Easy Link connector to support a photo or video accessory (such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other piece of equipment) on an extending arm or bracket, & transforming it into a practical mobile studio. The new XPRO Ball Head is the perfect union between innovative solutions & design. It has a new triple locking system which guarantees camera position stability, friction control helping the user balance the weight of camera equipment & two levelling bubbles to precisely frame composition. Moreover, its new polymer rings have substituted that unpleasant, messy grease, ensuring smooth, accurate & less jerky camera movement. XPRO Ball Head is portable, lightweight & reliable thanks to its magnesium body & comes with the Manfrotto 200 pl plate. The 190XPRO4 & the MHXPRO-BHQ2 head are made in Italy by Manfrotto.
