This kit from B&H Photo pairs the MT190X3 Aluminum Tripod with the 496 Compact Ball Head. The tripod features a Quick Power Lock System, ground level adapter, and an Easy Link attachment. It can hold up to 13.2 lb of gear, and has a maximum height of 66.5". The ground-level adapter replaces the center column to allow the tripod's head to sit just 7" 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 features a precision-machined aluminum alloy housing and ball which provides smooth movements across all tilt positions. It has a ratchet locking knob for 360° panoramic movement and a double groove for ±90° tilts.
