Would recommend this tripod.

I haven?t actually taken this tripod out on a shoot yet as I just very recently received it, but upon taking it out of the box was very impressed at how sturdy and well made it is.

Good Sticks for the price

Good pair of sticks for the price. The clamps lock down nice and tight and they hold the weight of an FS5 with a full zoom very well. If you?re on a budget, they?re a great pair of sticks to have on run and gun shoots.

Great tripod for just about any situation

This is a rock solid tripod. I love the rotating level as many time the level is completely covered by the camera or accessories, even when pivoting as may be necessary. The ability to switch up the vertical tube to a horizontal layout is frosting-on-the-cake. The legs fan out quite nicely to allow very low shooting.

Manfrotto … a gem of a company

Manfrotto … There is absolutely NO reason to go to another for this type of product. Trust me, I did only to save a few $$ ... and now I will NEVER again. This tripod is built very very solid and yet light weight and flexible enuff for just about any shoot/location … especially those tricky locations …DEFINITELY a GREAT company and product …. I also own one of their monopods !! … and recently purchased the 608 video head ...

Great quality Manfrotto MT190 XPRO4 190 Aluminum 4-Section Tripod with Horizontal Column

I bought this for my wife's blog and YouTube work. Our 13 year old is usually the one operating it. It's got flexible positioning options and is rock solid. I'm glad we chose this model!

Perfect for studio and portrait work

Love this! It is very sturdy, not one to hike with, but perfect for studio work. I like all of that angle options too. I had to get an adapter in order for it to fit my camera, but that adapter offers more options too. I use the leveling "bubbles" and there are a few. I use a light box occasionally and the extension arm works great! Well worth the money!

Solid tripod for studio and macro work.

Very heavy-duty, everything fastens very securely, and the legs are quite stable. The tilting center column is helpful for product / macro photography, which was my main goal for getting the legs. The latches to extend the legs are almost painfully tight--have to open them very deliberately and slowly--almost pinched my finger once when closing them. My previous different-brand tripod had similar latches that were quite secure but easily opened and closed for readjustment. That's my main gripe about the tripod overall: it's not a one-hand operation in most cases to adjust it, due to how tightly everything is connected; requires longer tinkering to set up right. However, once set-up, you can't go wrong with this one as a very stable studio tripod. This model has no spikes on the leg bottoms--only rubber. Also comes without a case, but due to the weight of this tripod, you'll probably use a different one for travel.

Excellent, fairly lightweight tripod. I purchased this tripod after researching several others, and I'm glad I chose this model for its relative portability and versatility (particularly the horizontal extension ability).

Excellent Tripod with One Caveat

The combination of quality build, 90 degree center column, and quick release tabbed legs are fantastic on this tripod. My one caveat is that the center column is not long enough for counterbalancing and shooting from above at 90 degrees.

I like it

It’s a little stiff with the tilt and pan but I’m sure with a little use (and getting use to) it’ll be great! It has nice features and is sturdy. I trust walking away from it with my canon 70D 24 105 lens. When adjusting The legs out vertically, the buttons are a little tricky but again, with use I’m sure it’ll lighten up

Glad I purchased this tripod

Have used this tripod for about a month now. Works great. It is smaller folded than my last one. I thought about the carbon fiber model but twice the price and only a pound lighter wasn’t worth it to me. It is quite sturdy as I do long exposures up to 4 and 6 minutes with no shaking. The horizontal bar works good extended 3/4 of the was out and still stable. So far it has been a excellent purchase.

Great tripod for multipurpose use

I really like this tripod, and is my second Manfrotto. The only thing that I don't like is that the legs have thee extendable sections, vs just two for the MT290, however it is shorter, and more versatile with the weight ability and horizontal column.

Solid, as always, Manfrotto

Great little tripod! I’ve owned the earlier version of the 190xpro and currently have the 055xprob. Loving the new locking mechanisms, but wish it went to the height and was as sturdy as the 055, but is just isn’t meant to be. I believe it can go lower, it is more compact, but honestly feels heavier; may just be in the head. The precision of the the 3-way head is unmatched! I love my 324cr pistol grip, but both have some major qualities and advantages to each style! For the price, this tripod is a steal!

Manfrotto Pro4

I haven't used it extensively yet, but when I have it works quite well. Easy to extend and collapse and sturdy frame. One problem however, is I bought this mainly to travel with, which means it needs to fit in a rolling bag that's suited for overhead bins on airliners. I've tried different ways but I believe the center post will not come completely out of attachment to tripod, which means in order for this to fit in a rolling bag I must remove the ball head each time I want to pack it. If there is a way to remove the centerpost completely please let me know.

A Manfrotto BeFree is great but the Mental Security of the Manfrotto MT190 XPRO 190 Gives you a Piece of Mind.

The MT190 XPRO 190 isn’t really considered a travel tripod but it can hold the weight of a heavy kit. This Tripod is outstanding and measures above the rest!!

Great tripod. No regrets.

By DENNIS W.

I've had this tripod for about two weeks now and have absolutely no regrets with my purchase. It is easy to use and set up and is stable for my Nikon D750 with a 28 to 300 mm lens. The extending arm that swings out to a 90° angle is a major plus for me. I do a lot of studio work and find it absolutely necessary for some of the shots I want to make. For my money you cannot go wrong buying this tripod.

Great tripod - Read the Manual!

By DANIEL H.

This tripod is a very versatile tool for your photography. But, you must read the manual. I know it's not a guy thing to read the manual, but it is important for this tripod. You will be glad you did.

Experience the innovative design and superior craftsmanship of the Manfrotto 190XPRO4, a highly compact 4-section aluminum tripod engineered for photographers and videographers seeking versatility and reliability in their equipment. The standout feature of this tripod is its revolutionary 90-degree center column mechanism, which enables the column to extend not only vertically for traditional shooting but also horizontally, vastly expanding your framing and shooting capabilities. This feature positions the 190XPRO4 as an indispensable tool for capturing unique angles and perspectives across various photography and video disciplines.

The ingenuity of the horizontal column mechanism is further accentuated by its integration within the tripod's top casting, ensuring a sleek, compact form factor. This design choice allows for rapid deployment of the column without the need for disassembly, even when a camera is mounted, streamlining your workflow and enhancing on-the-go efficiency.

With its 4-section legs, the 190XPRO4 achieves remarkable compactness, reducing its closed length significantly in comparison to previous models in the 190 series. This reduction is particularly beneficial for photographers who frequently travel and need to maximize space without sacrificing performance.

The tripod's legs boast the innovative Quick Power Lock (QPL) system, enabling swift and secure extension and adjustment. The QPL levers are meticulously crafted for a comfortable and robust grip, allowing for single-handed operation that swiftly unlocks and locks leg sections. This design not only speeds up the setup process but also reinforces the tripod's stability and rigidity, outperforming traditional lever-based systems.

Each leg of the 190XPRO4 features intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors, providing the freedom to independently and solidly position the legs at any of the preset angles. This flexibility ensures stable support on uneven terrain and allows for creative composition without limitations.

For precise framing and leveling, the 190XPRO4 includes a rotating bubble level seamlessly integrated into the top of the center column. This clever design allows for unobstructed visibility of the level, regardless of the camera or head positioning, ensuring that your shots are perfectly aligned with the horizon.

The top casting is equipped with an Easy Link connector, transforming the 190XPRO4 into a mobile studio hub. This connector enables the attachment of various photo and video accessories, such as LED lights, flashes, reflectors, and more, on an extending arm or bracket, facilitating a versatile and creative shooting environment.

Proudly crafted in Italy, the Manfrotto 190XPRO4 reflects the brand's commitment to quality and innovation, offering professionals a robust, adaptable, and user-friendly tripod solution for their creative endeavors.

Manfrotto 190XPRO Features

  • Solid and fast to set up: The QUICK POWER LOCK (QPL) system is definitely one of the most eye-catching and unique features of the 190. It is a strong, ultra fast and ergonomic locking system that allows for complete extension of the legs with one hand opening. The black and silver color combination give the tripod a stylish look.
  • Get ready to go everywhere: One of the most innovative aspects of the new 190 is its compactness, which allows for easier portability. The new patented 90 Degree column is accessible when you need it to be, with a quick "one finger" operation.
  • Easy integration with accessories: The 190 allows you to create a portable photographic studio, thanks to the new "Easy link" plug, which enables instant connection between tripod and accessories, such as LED lights for Macro Photography and VDSLR applications through arms and brackets.
  • Rotating Leveling Bubble: The patented Rotating Leveling Bubble is quick to set up and allows you to position the tripod more precisely. It is easy to read, whatever the shape of the head or however the tripod is set up.
  • Leg Angle Selectors: The new Leg Angle Selectors are also easy to set up, as they are made following the most innovative ergonomic standards and prevent fingers and nails being trapped in the upper casting.
