Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 190MF4 Magfiber Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod Legs with 322RC2 Grip Action Ballhead (RC2 Quick Release) - Supports 7.4 lb (3.3 kg)

The Bogen/Manfrotto 190MF4 is the four-section version of the 190MF3, and is even more compact and just a few inches shorter when fully extended. It is an ideal tripod to fit into a backpack. It provides professional photographers with a tripod that's very light, compact, simple to use, strong, and extremely versatile to position.

Without compromising on stability or rigidity of the tripod, the 190MF4 consists of carbon fiber legs that feature quick action lever locks in magnesium and resin. The design of the 3001PRO series top spider is used with this model; this offers four leg angle settings, and allows the center column to be converted into a lateral arm.

The center column itself is of the latest generation of aluminum and resin materials. The low-angle adapter forms the top section of the center column and is easily detached by simply unscrewing the knob at the bottom of the column. This enables the head to be left mounted on the center column when switching between low-angle and normal shooting positions.

The 322RC2 is unique in that it allows the camera mounting assembly to be positioned for left or right hand operation, in horizontal or vertical position, and in addition, will allow you to unblock, move, position and lock your camera with one hand in one position. This is due to the revolutionary design of its grip handle, which incorporates the ball lock lever.
