Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 Trépied en aluminium

I bought this to replace my old carbon fibre tripod. This one is heavier than my old tripod, but it feels sturdy and can take a camera plus heavy lens. It's not so heavy that you can't carry it around with one hand. I have used it successfully for landscape and night photography. The built in spirit level is a nice touch, and you can move it to where you can see it. I find the clips on the legs take a lot of getting used to. They need quite a bit of strength to unlock, and you need to be careful not to trap your fingers when you click to lock them. I used to be able to adjust my old tripod with one hand, but now I need two hands. But I think the strong locking mechanism makes the tripod sturdier. I need to get used to it.

This was a replacement for a tripod damaged in air transport. The number of leg sections has increased so that the tripod is shorter packed but takes longer to deploy. With the head, it is quite heavy

Great value tripod. I had already around 12 different Manfrotto models over the years. I am happy with the quality/price of this one, definitely I would recommend it.

I use the tripod for landscape, wildlife and macro. Very sturdy, takes the weight a big lens and quick to set up and take down.

Quick to set up and take down again, works superb with the geared head
