Manfrotto 190XB + 700RC2 Aluminum Tripod

The Manfrotto 190XB Aluminum Tripod is lighter and slightly more compact. The Manfrotto 700RC2 Micro Video Head has smooth fluid movements.

This Manfrotto 190XB three-section tripod, which comes with the company's 700RC2 mini video head, is stable, flexible, and easy to use, making it a great choice for amateur and professional photographers alike.

The Manfrotto 190XB Aluminum Tripod is distinguished by its redesigned aluminum frame, which is lighter than previous incarnations and slightly more compact. The Manfrotto 700RC2 Video Head is compact, lightweight, and features a rapid connect design.

Manfrotto takes great pride in bringing new products to market that make the lives of professional and amateur shooters as easy as possible.As a result, it's more convenient to bring this tripod along on shoots without weighing yourself down. Plus, the ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism and the quick-action leg locks have also been greatly improved, making it a breeze to open, position, and close the tripod in just a few seconds. The tension of the locking mechanism is even user-adjustable, so you can find the right tension for your comfort level. And should you need to balance the tripod on an uneven surface, you can set each of the legs to a different spread angle over the tripod's center of gravity--a must for nature shots on outdoor terrain.

The compact and lightweight two-movement 700RC2 video head, meanwhile, is principally designed to support the latest digital video equipment, but is also suitable for spotting scopes and still photography cameras with medium and long tele lenses. The 700RC2 is equipped with a fixed-length pan bar with a soft handle, along with separate locking mechanisms for the 360-degree pan and the +90/-75 degree tilt. The fixed system of fluid cartridges contributes by ensuring smooth and constant movements on both axes. Add in a quick-release 200PL-14 video plate system with a VHS pin and a secondary safety catch and you have an ideal video head for almost any application. The 700RC2 also works with the optional 200PL-38 plate.

With a dedicated team of engineers that share a passion for photography, shooters can rest assured that they can turn to Manfrotto for a complete array of solutions that are specifically designed to give them the ability to get the results they’re looking for. At this year’s PhotoPlus in New York, Manfrotto will again demonstrate its commitment to product improvement, as it will be showcasing two new tripods that join its popular 3001 series, now – the 190XB and the 190XPROB.

Throughout the design process, attention to detail and functionality are job one at Manfrotto. When improving on its already popular 190 series (formerly known as the 3001 series in the US), of tripods, Manfrotto engineers went back to the drawing board to design a tripod that was better not only by specifications, but by ergonomics; the new 190XB and 190XPROB represent exactly that. One of the most noteworthy new features is the improved and patented horizontal center column, which is now easier to use than ever. In fact, the center column of the 190XPROB can now be rotated to a horizontal position by simply extending the column to its highest position, all without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, making switching between framing and positioning setups a breeze.

While the Manfroto 190XB does share a new ergonomically improved design. The Manfrotto 190XB offers improved leg angle release and quick action leg lock mechanisms, allowing for effortless adjustments while on the go.

The Manfrotto 700RC2 Mini Video Head is a compact and lightweight 2-movement head designed principally to support the latest digital video equipment but also well-suited to still photography cameras with medium and long telephoto lenses.

The Manfrotto 700RC2 has a fixed length pan bar with soft handle and separate locking mechanisms for the 360° pan and the +90°/-75° tilt. Smooth and constant movements on both axes are assured by a fixed system of fluid cartridges. Equipped with quick release 200PL-14 video plate system with VHS PIN and a secondary safety catch. Head to tripod attachment is 3/8" female.
