Cons:Short. I would have preferred it to have an extra section.
Opinion:Purchased in 2023, after 10 years from the cessation of production, thanks to an excellent offer in used cars. Taken to replace a Manfrotto compact advance for night outings while keeping me "light". It immediately appears robust and well made, even at maximum opening it is stable. Too bad for the need to totally extend the legs in order to have a decent height, an extra section would not have hurt.
Pros:Very robust and good workmanship, currently the price on the used
Cons:No one, when I buy I know what I'm buying.
Opinion:Excellent tripod, solid and robusto...io I use it mainly when I know that I have to enter the water and when it is necessary I never disappoint, using it especially in Ticino where the water is current (low water max 30 cm) is excellent. Regarding the weight I can confirm what has already been said so if you have to carry it on your shoulder all day in the mountains is not for you.
Pros:Not too heavy. Solid. Tilting column at right angles.
Cons:Too short.
Opinion:I bought new a few years ago with joint ball head 496 RC2 and original case. He has never given me problems. The only drawback height. Working in macro is very useful reclining column. Only very recently I have joined to a more robust, but also very heavy and cumbersome Manfrotto 055 WNB, found at an excellent price used. For those who want to travel light and owns an equipment weight content is the ideal tripod.
Opinion:Chosen after careful research, this tripod really left me stunned, is very strong so it can be used even in hostile environments without any fear, it is easy to open and adjust, ensures an infinite number of angles and combinations in order to use it in any way and in the end the price after all is well content; unfortunately this wonderful model is discontinued, so you can find almost exclusively in used, but 150 € you can find it paired with wonderful heads such as 804RC2 (in my possession, and strongly recommended) or 496rc2.rnUnica flaw as quoted in "against" is the weight, which is around 2.5 kg and bulk if you combine a head as the 804RC2, but on the other hand for the quality in question and we do not even notice it. rnVOTO: 9.5 / 10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Pros:Robustness, quality materials, tripping adjustable sections and fast.
Cons:Considerable weight just is mounted on a head, need to shoulder or carry bag.
Opinion:The 190 is truly a rock. I own it for years and I have never given any problems. Associated with a good head gives a lot of satisfaction. Of course, the weight and bulk are not indifferent but all in all, you can carry easily (assuming you have a case or a bag). I use it with a 496RC2 and 804RC2; the dimensions of the head is not to be underestimated. The ball moves around almost without realizing it, the 3-way .. Well, be careful not to get caught somewhere!
Pros:robustness, inclinations arm and versatility of use
Cons:weight
Opinion:My first tripod "serious". I'm very satisfied for both the angles that manages to reach and both for ease of use. The only flaw is the weight, trekking is felt and take it for 3 or 4 hours in a row with a backpack from 8-9 kg, is a bit 'challenging. I rate still very positive and I paired with the head Manfrotto 496RC2 with which I am fine. Recommended with your eyes closed
Pros:Excellent construction, very stable. Ability to horizontal center bar to make macro. Height at maximum aperture. Made in Italy.
Cons:I've found some.
Opinion:Isresponsible my first tripod. I use it for 2 years now and I like it here just fine! I use it with my head Manfrotto 804 RC2 three movements and is fantastic. The ability to put in a horizontal center bar is convenient to do macro photography! The weight is not a big problem, after a while 'you get used and then also allows greater stability to the tripod. I use it with Nikon d300 and other objectives and despite the weight is always very firmly! I am absolutely satisfied. Congratulations to Manfrotto !! rn
Pros:Versatile, not too heavy, well-kept in the building.
Cons:I have not yet found.
Opinion:I use it to do some macro photography and shooting toward the sky. Placing the central rod at the stroke end to 90 ° with my Nikon D3300 which however does not weigh very much, is even very stable. According to my point of view is to be taken into consideration for the price is not too high, even compared to the last version that costs a little more '.-
Pros:Stable and well costruito.Molto versatile in that it allows great adaptability of positions, editable quickly
Cons:A little 'longish (you must consider that it is in 3 sections) and lightweight (aluminum)
Opinion:I am very satisfied. Combined with a good head can solve the vast majority of cases where it is appropriate to a tripod. I can carry it without any difficulty in the spaces of the photo backpack (even if the head sticks out a bit 'if the backpack is not "maxi") rnVa well in the house for photo shoots macro / still life
Pros:Well finished, reliable and practical for transportation since it has the attachment to hook up the various types of shoulder straps and carrying handles. Suitable for people with stature up to 1.55 ac while maintaining the retracted center column (better stability). Very handy the leg lock lever system. I recommend this model with the legs to 3 sections rather than 4. It is equipped with a patented horizontal center column system: just lift the column up to the highest position and tilt it horizontally without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so the transition between the two configurations is very practical. The "L" ring allows you to hang an es. a backpack to further stabilize the tripod under strong wind conditions, or a Cokin Filter bag.
Cons:no problems found.
Opinion:It is a great construction, suitable not only for use with gimbal and supertele-zoom for naturalistic photography but also for macro shooting. For this latest application, I recommend short-postproduct shopping to resume micro-subjects by stretching the 3 legs on the last degree of tilt by moving the camera up and down to achieve optimum shutter-release . Alternatively, you can bring the center column horizontally, open your legs completely, and you will find it with the head attachment that is 8.5cm from the ground. rn
Opinion:I find this tripod is a good compromise quality / price, I faced all kinds of situations from snow to mud up to now Salt water and after a few years of service is indistinguishable from new ... the ability to break down quickly column, and rubberized feet make it completely stable on any surface, even if at first glance seems precarious it takes half a hurricane to move it ... although infinitely more portable the 055 is still quite long and heavy for trips outside the
