Description:

This tripod represents the top of the Manfrotto lightweight tripod range, providing
professional photographers a tripod that is very light, compact, simple to use, yet high
quality, strong and extremely versatile to position. To reduce the weight of the tripod
without any compromises on stability and rigidity, the legs are made of unique, three-
faceted carbon fiber tubes of 1.2 mm thickness combined with quick-action, magnesium
and resin lever locks.

The top spider uses the patented design of the 190PRO tripod, which is able to achieve
four angle leg settings and convert the center column to a lateral arm. The center column
used in this tripod comes from the latest generation of aluminum and resin, which allows
you to leave the head mounted on the center column when switching between low angle
and normal shooting positions. All parts are assembled using a proven pressure clamping
technology that eliminates failure-prone glue joints for greater durability and in-the-field
serviceability.

To make transportation easier, the tripod is supplied with a padded carrying strap that
can also operate like a hook in order to hang weights from to increase the stability of the
tripod during shoots in extreme wind conditions. Ideal support for all advanced and SLR
analog/digital camera equipment and spotting scopes.

Features:

• Anti-rotation tubing and leg collars make for a tripod (or monopod) that's easier
  and faster to open, position and close. Manfrotto uses several different types of
  anti-rotation system - on Magfiber and Digi series tripods, the elliptical or three-
  faceted shape of the concentric tubes means they cannot rotate, while on round-
  tubed tripods small protrusions down the length of the tube keep sections perfectly
  aligned
  
  
• The patented PRO model has a unique design which allows the center column to
  be used horizontally as an extending arm, or vertically (both right-way-up and
  upside-down). When used horizontally, it can be turned through 360° around the
  tripod, and is useful for macro work, low angle shooting, extreme balance points
  and off-centre work. This also makes the tripod a helpful accessory for chair-
  bound photographers, who can sit beside instead of behind the tripod, therefore
  much closer to the camera viewfinder.
  
  
• Manfrotto's carbon fiber tubing is popular among outdoor photographers because
  it's light in weight, but not everyone knows it's also more rigid and supports heavier
  loads than aluminum - giving it a double advantage.
  
  
• Flip lever leg locks make opening, positioning and closing fast and easy. The
  tension of the locking mechanism is user-adjustable, and all parts can be easily
  serviced or replaced.
  
  
• "Rapid" center columns are fast and easy to unlock and adjust. However, a fully
  extended center column tends to reduce the rigidity of an otherwise stable tripod,
  so the center column should normally be used only for fine tuning height or for
  extreme situations where the extra reach compensates the slight reduction in
  rigidity.
  
  
• Included carrying handle
  
  
• Reversible center column allows head and camera to be mounted below the tripod
  - useful for: low-level shooting (because it keeps the tripod and your equipment
  out of the mud); working with heavy loads (because weight lowers the tripod's
  center of gravity, making it more stable) and also for use with "mirror-image" view
  cameras
  
  
• Three-faceted column
  
  
• Leg sections use three-faceted tubing for greater anti-torsional resistance
  
  
• Materials, design and construction techniques have been carefully selected to help
  save weight without sacrificing stability or strength
  
  
• Each of the legs can be set to a different angle of spread for more flexible, versatile
  positioning and to help keep camera equipment well-balanced over the tripod's
  center of gravity.
  
  
• Lightweight magnesium is used for die-cast parts. Magnesium has a density of
  1.74g/cm3 as opposed to aluminum's 2.70g/cm3 - a 35% reduction. Despite its
  lower weight, magnesium is more rigid than aluminum, and has the same strength
  per volume.
