From Manufacturer

Use this Manfrotto MT190X3 Tripod & 128RC Micro Fluid Head Kit from B&H to capture smooth videos with your lightweight camera.

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 128RC Micro Fluid Head offers smooth 360° pan rotation and -60°/90° tilt adjustment and features pan and tilt lock for capturing static shots. It comes with a quick release plate and a pan handle that can be positioned for 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.

MT190X3 3-Section Tripod with 128RC Micro Fluid Head Kit Reviews

Quality, but heavy

By Adam
Rated 4 out of 5

The quality you expect from Manfrotto. This is an older design but it's simple to use. Heavy can be a plus or a minus. Buy the newer BeFree series if you want to save weight, but get this if you want smooth fluid movement and solid shots at a good price.

Great value

This tripod is a great value for the price. I have the same head on the carbon fiber tripod, and that is superior in weight and function, but costs much more. This product is similar enough, and much cheaper if you're on a budget. It has the same head though, and that accounts for the bulk of the performance. The 128RC is a great head!

Asked by: Paul
The Manfrotto 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod with 128RC Micro Fluid Video Head would be a good option for filming basketball while sitting in high school bleachers. The legs are able to be adjusted to fit in the bleachers in a stable way.

Does this 290 allow you to change heads to a photo application?
Asked by: David
The Manfrotto 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod with 128RC Micro Fluid Video Head (B&H# MAMK290XTA32) is a combination of the Manfrotto MT290XTA3US 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod (B&H# MAMT290XTA3U) and the Manfrotto 128RC QR Micro Fluid Head (B&H# MA128RC). The tripod may be used with many other heads, and the head may be used with many other tripods. So, yes, you could remove the 128RC QR Micro Fluid Head and replace it with a head that is more commonly used for taking still photographs.

Not being an expert on tripods, could this one also be used as a regular fixed tripod for taking photos?
Asked by: William
There is nothing to stop you from taking photos while using this head, however the camera will only align in a landscape position. To turn the camera in to portrait you will need an L-Bracket such as the Manfrotto Q2 L Bracket. https://bhpho.to/3kOx64f

Does this tripod have a level of any kind? If not, is there an accessory I can buy to level the tripod?
