The tripod legs included in this kit add a Quick Power Lock System, ground level adapter, and an Easy Link attachment. It can hold up to 8.8 lb of gear, and has a maximum height of 68.1". The ground-level adapter replaces the center column to allow the tripod's mounting plate to sit just 8.6" 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 included XPRO Geared 3-Way Head can hold up to 8.8 lb while weighing only 1.7 lb. It is made from a rigid technopolymer called Adapto that maintains strength without adding excess weight.

The head features micrometric knobs, allowing you to place your camera exactly where you need it. For larger adjustments the knobs can be pressed down against a lever, unlocking the movement of each axis individually. The head has a front tilt range of -20/+90°, a lateral tilt range of -90/+30°, and a 360° pan range. A 200PL quick release plate is included for fast and easy camera attachment and detachment.

Manfrotto XPRO 3-Way, Geared Pan-and-Tilt Head with 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate

This XPRO 3-Way, Geared Pan-and-Tilt Head from Manfrotto has a load capacity of 8.8 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. It includes an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate. RC2 compatible quick release plates such as the 200PL-14 can be removed from the head by pulling the cam lock's spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be quickly reattached. The cam lock also features a safety catch to prevent the 200PL-14, or another compatible quick release plate from accidentally disconnecting.

Cameras, sport optics, or camcorders that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the quick release plate before securing it to the pan-and-tilt head. The head can be rotated 360°, tilted 90° forwards or 20° backwards, as well as 90° sideways for portrait orientation. Each of these three movements function independently of each other and have individual, spring-clamp controls. Squeezing each clamp's two handles allows the corresponding movement to be rapidly adjusted, and once the handles are released, the adjustment is locked into place. One handle on each clamp is also an integrated twist knob that allows incremental, geared adjustments, which help to ensure that any device mounted to this XPRO 3-Way, Geared Pan-and-Tilt Head is precisely positioned relative to the subject.

To further promote fast and repeatable device positioning, this XPRO 3-Way, Geared Pan-and-Tilt Head also includes dedicated angle scales for each movement that are designed for easy visibility.

MT190X3 Aluminum Tripod with XPRO Geared 3-Way Pan/Tilt 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.
