I use it with the surui k30 ball head and its an incredible combination. Held my DSLR well and also now my mirrorless system. I would seriously consider carbon fiber over aluminum if you will hike and go to very cold regions. Love this tripod!

After quite a hiatus getting back into shooting again and wanted to explore the macro world. I'm sure there are more sophisticated rigs out there, but this kit with the horizontal bar is working well enough to get me started. It is sturdier than I thought it would be holding a D500 - Nikkor 105 macro lens and even topped off with a SB-700 flash. All hanging off the horizontal bar. Various leg positions allow you to get camera quite close to the ground. The head is also good quality and is up to the task. Like I said maybe down the road I'll look for the high end setup but no rush. This is doing the job quite well for now. Only problem I have had is when folded up it is a little bit tall to strap to the side of my gear backpack for carry on.

Light weight enough you won't get tired carrying it. The center column does "tricks" by being able to extend horizontally as well as vertically. This great for catching those plants or insects by getting right over the top of them. I carry this in the car all the time so it's ready for whatever adventure I find.

Really like this tripod. Combination of size, weigh, stability and articulating center column make this my go to tripod for studio and short outside trips. Highly recommended.

I love the tripod but the rotating level gets in the way of the adjustment knob on my Manfrotto MH magnesium head. Kinda aggravating when the knob won't adjust the head without moving the level ring. Otherwise a five star rating.

The Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 is a compact, lightweight and rigid 3-section tripod with carbon fibre leg tubes, a host of advanced features and excellent build quality.
The key feature of the 190CXPRO3 is its 90½ center column mechanism, which allows the column to be extended vertically as normal, or horizontally to open up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities; this makes the 190CXPRO3 an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide range of photography and video applications. The horizontal column mechanism is housed within the tripod's top casting for compactness, but it is easily and quickly extended whenever you need it. Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation requires no disassembly, and can even be done with a camera attached.
The legs of the 190CXPRO3 tripod are also fast to extend and adjust, thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers that block and unblock each leg section. The special design of the QPL levers allows a more comfortable and stronger single-handed grip of the leg locks. From folded, the sections of each leg of the tripod can be released in a single movement. The QPL lever design also offers more powerful locking of each section, meaning the tripod is more stable and rigid than with traditional lever designs. Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently and solidly set to any of the preset angles, again allowing considerable positioning freedom.
A bubble level is built in to the top of the center column for precise framing. The bubble level rotates freely around the center column, so it can be positioned wherever it's easiest for you to see it while adjusting the tripod, and without it either being obscured by the mounted head and camera, or getting in the way of head or camera controls.
The top casting of the 190CXPRO3 has an Easy Link connector for supporting a photo or video accessory (such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other piece of equipment) on an extending arm or bracket, and making the tripod into a practical mobile studio.
The 190CXPRO3 is made in Italy by Manfrotto.
