The compact tripod that doesn’t sacrifice on flexibility. The 190XPRO3 has a cleverly designed 90° centre column mechanism, housed in the top coasting, so you can shoot more flexibly than ever. This enables you to quickly change the column to vertical or horizontal operation, meaning you won’t have to spend time reassembling your equipment and missing that all-important split-second shot. The 190XPRO3 tripod with head can also be extended and adjusted quickly, and this is all thanks to the Quick Power Lock levers. These block and unblock each leg section and allow them to be opened single-handedly in a single movement. They are significantly more rigid and stable than traditional designs, and with ergonomic and intuitive leg angle selectors, each leg can be independently set to a pre-set angle. That means you’ll enjoy even more positioning freedom. The built-in bubble level allows you to frame more precisely thanks to its freely rotating mechanism. This prevents the level from obscuring your view, meaning nothing will get in the way of your shooting. With a quick-release camera plate, you can use this tripod with a wide variety of devices. New friction controls on the tilt and portrait axes also ensure the weight of your camera equipment is evenly distributed and completely secure. The tripod’s retractable levers also make the XPRO-3-Way-Head ultra-compact, and you can easily make fine-framing adjustments with the locking knobs open before securing them when you’re ready to shoot. Use the 190XPRO3’s Easy Link connector to add a photo or video accessory such as an LED light or flash, all via an extending arm/bracket. Now you can make your tripod a practical mobile studio. The 190XPR3 is manufactured in Italy by Manfrotto.

The perfect tripod with head set for new photographers. The 290 Xtra Aluminium 3-Section Tripod Kit with Ball Head has everything you need in one handy bag. Designed to professional standards, this smart tripod with head kit won’t let you down, even during the most challenging situations. And it’s built to last. Fashioned from hard-wearing but lightweight aluminium, it won’t be a chore to carry, and it’s strong when up.

The stand comes in 3-sections, with aluminium leg tubes and a specially designed, high-performance top casting that works under pressure, and delivers maximum stability whatever the shoot demands. Added aluminium leg locks keep everything firmly in place and can be adjusted as needed to increase tension, and this function works even after heavy use, extending the stand’s lifespan longer. Not only that, it’s super easy to use too. 4 leg angle positions give you freedom to move, and a centre column allows you to extend your height range.

Other great features include rubber leg warmers to give you ultimate grip whatever the weather, and a centre ball head. This makes it a full tripod with head set, and the ball head has a great spherical movement, plus a quick release plate. So you’ll be able to glide from one angle to the next while you work, and set up speedily. That way, you’ll be able to capture new frames quickly and effectively. And it comes with its very own made-to-measure shoulder bag, just to make life even easier.
