Manfrotto MT190X3 Aluminum Tripod with 468MGRC2 Hydrostatic Ball Head and RC2 Quick Release

This kit from B&H Photo pairs the MT190X3 Aluminum Tripod with the 468MGRC2 Hydrostatic Ball Head and RC2 Quick Release. The tripod features a Quick Power Lock System, ground level adapter, and an Easy Link attachment. It can hold up to 15.4 lb of gear, and has a maximum height of 67.7". The ground-level adapter replaces the center column to allow the tripod's mounting plate to sit just 8.2" above the ground with the legs at their widest angle.

The QPL system allows the three leg sections to be completely extended with one hand for simple set up. An Easy Link adapter attachment allows instant connection between tripod and accessories, such as LED lights for macro photography and DSLR video applications using Manfrotto articulated arms and brackets. Each leg can be set at four different angles to accommodate uneven ground or rough terrain.

The ball head is a heavy-duty magnesium alloy ball head that weighs 1.4 lb yet is capable of supporting 22 lb. Designed to meet the demands of photographers who want maximum control with minimal effort, the 468MGRC2 uses a hydraulic system that requires very little force for an exceptional strong lock-down. The head features tension adjustment and 360 degree panning with a separate lock and a lateral tilt range of -90° / +90°.

The 468MGRC2 uses the popular RC2 quick release system, which is small and light enough to leave permanently attached to your compact or SLR camera even when not using a tripod.
