Use this Manfrotto MT190X3 Tripod & MH055M8-Q5 Fluid Head Kit from B&H to shoot photos and videos from as low as 3.5" above the ground.

The MT190X3 is a 3-leg-section aluminum tripod adjustable between ground level and a maximum height of 63". It has a ground-level adapter instead of a center column to allow the tripod's mounting plate to sit just 3.5" above the ground when the legs are set to their widest angle. Each leg can be positioned at four different angles to compensate for uneven ground or rough terrain.

The MH055M8-Q5 fluid head is designed with a Photo/Movie selector for switching between photo and video capture applications. It comes with a reversible pan bar that can be used in either right- or left-handed operation.

Manfrotto MT190X3 Aluminum Tripod

The Manfrotto MT190X3 Aluminum Tripod is an addition to the popular 190 series, adding a Quick Power Lock System, ground level adapter, and an Easy Link attachment. It can hold up to 33 lb of gear, and has a maximum height of 63". The ground-level adapter replaces the center column to allow the tripod's mounting plate to sit just 3.5" 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.

Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5 Photo-Movie Tripod Head with Q5 QR Plate

The Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5 Photo-Movie Tripod Head offers optimal function for still photo shooting as well as videography. Primarily designed for DSLR cameras with movie shooting ability, the tripod head features a Photo-Video selector for quickly switching between the two modes.

In Photo mode, the MH055M8-Q5 head offers free movement in all directions just like a typical ball head. Equipped with fluid cartridges and an adjustable counterbalance control, the tripod head provides precise, smooth, and controlled movement.

In Video mode, the head restricts all-direction movement to precise pan-and-tilt operation, which works well with videography. The MH055M8-Q5 head comes with a pan bar and offers fluid movement as well as friction control. The pan bar is reversible for right- or left-handed users and can be quickly detached. An included rest clip allows the pan bar to be attached to a tripod leg after being removed. A Q5 quick release plate is included.

MT190X3 3-Section Tripod with MH055M8-Q5 Head Kit Reviews

Decent tripod for the money

By Jim
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-08

I got this to be kind of a lightweight alternative to my other tripods so I can kind of run and gun… So basically I just need something with a relatively light weight limit. I think this one holds 35 pounds and that’s more than sufficient for me and I like the lever locks. lever locks work better than twist locks on the legs, but I will gripe about one thing. The locking lever for the base plate. I haven’t had an issue yet but that thing really worries me that is so flimsy looking. It looks like it’s just ready to snap off any moment. I’m not sure why they did that with this particular tripod and I don’t know if there’s a replacement lever you can get. if there is let me know.

Built well but

I like the adjustments with the hand lever but I could not do any rotation and keep on the same axis for panorama shots. But all other aspects it is a well made product.

Is there a way to hang a bag of sand or rocks from the tripod (to increase stability)?
Asked by: Eva
I would agree that the Oben Tripod Hammock, BH # OBSTB10 would be the best way to counterweight this tripod, as Manfrotto doesn't offer an accessory hook for this model. https://bhpho.to/39GOYen

question

does this will work well with a slider?
Asked by: Jacinto E.
Yes, this is compatible with a slider. Sliders usually have both 1/4-20 and 3/8 mounting threads all over so you will be able to use one as long as you don't exceed the 11 lb. weight capacity.
