Tripods Manfrotto

190 MAG FIBER TRIPOD 4 SCT 190MF4 The four-section version of the 190 MagFiber is more compact when folded than the three-section 190MF3, but slightly shorter when fully open.
The MagFiber series represents the top of the Manfrotto tripod range, providing professional photographers a tripod that, though light compact and simple, is of high quality, strong and extremely versatile. To reduce the weight of the tripod without any compromise on stability, the legs are made of unique, three-faceted 1.2 mm thick carbon fiber tubes combined with magnesium and resin quick-action lever locks.
The tripod shoulder uses the patented design of the 190PRO tripod, which is able to convert the 2-part center column into a lateral arm. Unscrewing the two parts of the center column allows you to leave the head mounted on the top part - which serves as a short column - when switching between low angle and normal shooting positions. The tripod also has four angle leg settings to facilitate low- and intermediate-angle positioning.
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.

- leg sections use three-faceted tubing for greater anti-torsional resistance
- 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
- 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.
- split center column allows easy and fast ground-level work
- solid tripod/head plate has an industry standard 3/8" screw and three angled grub screws which stop the head from unscrewing accidentally in use and also block unwanted panoramic rotation or play between tripod and head
- the built-in, carefully hand-set bubble spirit level helps make sure your horizons really are horizontal
- materials, design and construction techniques have been carefully selected to help save weight without sacrificing stability or strength
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- MagFiber tripods have three pre-set independent leg angles for positioning flexibility and good reach of all intermediate heights between the stated minimum and maximum levels The improved spring-loaded, easy to use step mechanism offers greater stability and security than the CarbonOne push-button system it replaces.
- included carrying handle makes the tripod more comfortable to transport and stays conveniently and unobtrusively attached during use
