The key feature of the 190X is its ground-level adapter, which allows for great shooting creativity. Once placed on the top casting and combined with the 4 leg angles, it allows the tripod to reach ultra-low positions.

The 190X tripod legs are quick to extend and adjust, thanks to the Quick Power Lock (QPL) levers that block and unblock each leg section. The QPL levers are specially designed to allow for a more comfortable and stronger single-handed grip of the leg locks. From a folded position, the sections of each tripod leg can be released in a single movement. The design of the QPL levers also allows each section to lock more powerfully, making the tripod more stable and rigid than traditional lever designs. Intuitive and ergonomic leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently and solidly set to any of the preset angles, offering even greater positioning freedom.

The top casting of the 190X features an Easy Link connector to support a photo or video accessory (such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other equipment) on an extendable arm or bracket, turning the tripod into a practical studio.

The 190X is made in Italy by Manfrotto.
