Opinion:excellent and very stable, reversible column very useful in some situations.che is not a feather you know and is also quite bulky but when you buy it you are aware that it is not a travel tripod, the really negative note is the lack of transport bag that you have to buy separately and original costicchia a little, cmq recommended
Pros:Construction, extremely stable, reversible column (great for macros ), lowers at ground level.
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:Beautiful tripod. I do not lament for weight and size (also because I have other tripods ) because I was looking for it precisely for this, since it has to hold certain weights (between reflex and optics ). Certainly not suitable to carry it around all day, but in macro (where the reversible column is a great added value ) it is absolutely excellent. I think he's going to keep me company for a long time. I'm thinking of buying a second one, having a 3-way manfrotto head in the drawer. Very recommended.
Opinion:Beautiful sturdy and stable tripod, impeccably built. Purchased in kit with a 3-way head, after a few years replaced with a ball head (MHXPRO-BHQ2). I also took the convenient and practical transport bag (80 and more 'cm!). The weight and size are noted after a few hours, but it is the price to pay for reliable support in every situation without compromising materials or going on significantly higher price categories. Rating: 10
Opinion:This was my first tripod, bought for 130 euro in 2012. I had no regrets for a long time to the point of opting for stable objects but carbon. This model proved immediately very stable, even in windy conditions, and reversible column has helped me a lot in macro photography for ground clearance shots. However, the overall dimensions when closed is not particularly low, and the high weight makes long journeys a living hell. Purchase separately a case that I found disproportionate and little protective.
Opinion:I own this stand for about 2 years and find it excellent, robust and stable in all posizioniè un'pò pesantuccio to carry, but it is a defect negligible given the performance, to want to be really picky would be great if manfrotto would include a case to When purchasing, purchased separately is really too expensive
Opinion:There is little to say, a good tripod, solid, sturdy and versatile. At a price that is now hard to find better and we even built excellent manfrotto. To keep matters in a few seconds you set for every need. The only drawback, the weight and bulk ... but you can not have everything. Definitely recommended, it is a rock! Mated to a good strong head very rewarding.
Pros:Really solid and stable, holding around (even 1D4 500 + F4), cheap for what it offers.
Cons:Huge closed, and heavy, is easily scratched, only two legs have the rubber cover, metal feet are lacking, lacking a shred of carrying bag (and the original Manfrotto costs a lot ').
Opinion:And 'my tripod normal use, when there are neither means nor air travel long treks, otherwise the weight and bulk to make sentire.rnRegge quietly Canon 1D4 + F4 Canon 500 IS, and not bat an eyelid (with adequate head) .rnrnPer my normal use (F2.8 70-200, 24-105, 17-40, 28-300, 100 macro) is even sovradimensionato.rn
Cons:I can not find. To be picky, the weight? It 'a defect? It depends.
Opinion:A real rock. We load all over! Does not even move with the storm:) ... if a defect can be said that it is the weight, I think you do forgive. Tried both with video head 501 that with three movements 804 charging him with various solutions. Than my budget could not do a better buy. I guess I do not part with it for years and anni.il its weight is really a defect? For me not. All 8n gym if anything! :) Satisfied!
Opinion:I bought a few years ago and I'm really satisfied. I use it for years with Gimbal heads, heads and video cameras, both inside and outside. Never had a problem. It 'a product made to last and it shows. The "problem" of the weight is on .. it is true that there are carbon fiber tripods, but for the price it between the aluminum ones is among the best possible solutions. With a shoulder bag can be transported more easily.
Pros:solid in an exaggerated way, the manfrotto for him to 7kg but I could easily support its double if not extend the colonna.rninoltre can get a few inches from the ground with the short column, which is convenient for macro and waterfowl, although it seems trivial many tripods just can not.
Cons:and even a rock in weight, with its 2.5kg will definitely feel that after a while it goes around and if you have a gimball attacked becomes a macigno.rn
Opinion:I use it for some years now, and we caught everything, rain, rocks, mud, sand, sea water and has never made a turn; it still works perfectly, highly recommended for anyone looking for a solid and durable, the downside and that is sacrificed much portability, so if you have portarvelo below in long walks or on the road is not the most suitable stand.
Pros:Solidity and robustness in the field in general, very convenient for people like me who has a high stature as all extended more than 2 meters ... while maintaining a stability incredible. the center column allows you to obtain different configurations that are really useful in certain occasions. good for landscapes and macrofografia
Cons:only flaw in my opinion is the weight ... but it's worth it trust me
Opinion:undecided between the 190 and the 055 at the end buy it because of the height are greater ... 1.85 high and on occasion work with the tripod fully extended. slightly heavier than the 190 but much more stable ... good buy. As noted above, the central column allows you to have different configurations, very good indeed in macrofografia. Also excellent in the landscape, due to its stability, combined with the 410 junior is a tripod Mr. !!!
Pros:Weight (excellent stability), ample opportunities with the tilt column.
Cons:Weight, which makes itself felt especially in long journeys, (for transport, however, I suggest a convenient shoulder bag).
Opinion:I use it for a couple of years with 496 RC2 head (which would be better to replace the wheel rotation of the sphere with a handle, like those on the new Xpro3) .rnSarebbe wonderful to have the chance to attack the head directly on the tripod (pulling out completely column) to better exploit the necessity that requires complex macro.rnNel photography tripod stable and functional for its value for money, would purchase of nuovo.rn ... my usual mania to change all that purchase ... RNS
Opinion:The use with a head 804RC2 three lever screw. I am very well. If he had the quick release levers of the legs would be easy to adjust on uneven ground. About the weight, yes indeed can be a negative characteristic, but certain levels of strength are only obtained with the material. It 's the price you pay.
Opinion:Surely there will be around for the best, but the money has no equal. It certainly is not a feather, I brought a backpack with all my camera kit for comparable weight to that of a mountain in combat gear, but other than that I'm satisfied with my purchase. I use it to support the astroinseguitore iOptron Star Tracker along with the Manfrotto 498RC2 ball head, I can be more than satisfied with this set. If I were to change? I would try one of the lighter carbon fiber tripods to support equal weight.
Pros:Robust, good price, minimum / maximum height, tilting system convenient column
Cons:Weight
Opinion:A sturdy tripod very affordable, thanks to the handy tilting system of the column passing of a few centimeters in height to nearly 1.80, making it practical as well as emergency stand. The quantity and quality of aluminum used are transformed into nearly 2 pounds, the only defect, you must go to stay light on carbon (€ € €) on the tripod or less robust.
Pros:Stable, robust, minimum and maximum height, opening and stretching his legs.
Cons:-
Opinion:I use it for several months now and it has always shown up. I like the ability to switch from a few cm from the ground up to about 1.8 m with ease; I find it convenient possibility to reverse the center column which becomes parallel to perpendicular to the ground, especially to make macros. The legs can be opened at various angles and elongated without any problems histo that the mechanism for locking works very bene.rnE 'very solid and strong, for this reason does not suffer from vibration, however, the downside is the weight. At the time of purchase, however, it is known that it is so, the rest of this is made of aluminum alloy and carbon fiber, for which the head is mounted will exceed 3 kg of weight. Definitely recommended to evaluate for the more challenging hikes.
Opinion:it was my first easel "serious" after years and still use it with optical soddisfazione.utilizzato with very heavy (400 2.8 and 800 5.6) and one with bodies mounted a series Wimberley and I had no problema.se you have to face long choose excursions or medium without doubt a more lightweight model ... ;-) rnconsigliato for those who use heavy focal!

Pros:And 'granite, safe, good build quality.
Cons:NN
Opinion:Using lately with gimbal and Tamron 150-600 but also pissed 804 RC2 and 498 RC2 for landscape and macro. Very versatile with the possibility of opening the legs and center column horizontally. The weight is felt but it is understood that to have a similar static at an acceptable price you have to suffer with my back. Would not recommend for the mountain, though often it would like to have instead of the super short, super light, super shaky that you prefer to tuck in your backpack.
Pros:Very strong and well finished and designed for heavy optics as the sigma 120-300mm os, 300mm f2, 8 etc ... Sections lever locking system (for me very practical and quick). Capacity of 7kg (2 more than the 190 version XPROB). Suitable especially for photographers higher by 1.55 cm as when shooting allows you to remain standing for long hours in an upright position without straining your back and shoulders allows for maximum pro-activity during the chase aircraft avifauna. E 'equipped with the patented horizontal center column: extending the column to its highest position and tilt it to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is very practical.
Cons:no problem
Opinion:It 'very good construction, suitable not only for use with gimbal and super telephoto-zoom lens for wildlife photography but also for macro shooting. This last application I recommend the purchase of after-sales short column that allows you to take micro-entities by stretching the 3 legs on the last degree of tilt, moving up and down for the camera to achieve perfect adjustment for the shot . rn (code manfrotto: 055XCCSB - column length: 17.5cm). It weighs 2.40 kg 1.80kg against the 190XPROB, personally I've never heard. Rn
Pros:Strength, height, versatility, and overall quality.
Cons:Maybe a little 'heavy. But it is normal ...
Opinion:Together with my backpack, the 055XPROB piece is "oldest" of my camera kit. They spend the optics, cameras pass, but he never goes away. He's been really .. all the earth, ice, snow, sea water (confirm the creaking due to salt quoted by Matthew Gasper), rain, but it's always here ready to perform his job perfectly. Never a problem and always fully reliable. One of my best purchases. Sure, in the long run its weight for long hikes is felt. But the effort is fully repaid by the service offered. Recommended. Rated 9 just for the weight, but you could not expect better from a stand in this price range.
Pros:very stable, the possibility of putting the central column in horizontal, legs adjustable up to 90 °
Cons:but not too heavy
Opinion:I have used this tripod much, I never encountered any problems. In the snow, in the water (salt water only gave me some trouble because the salt has undermined the levers of the sections and makes them creak a bit but with a little oil or grease the situation returns to normal) behaved very well. is powerful and stable, and I could not recommend it enough. The only drawback is that it is a bit bulky and slightly heavy for hiking.
