Manfrotto 190 Reviews

Totally Unstable

I really wanted this to be the perfect blend between some sort of overhead setup on a tripod and a massive Cambo camera stand. Unfortunately this thing is basically useless for commercial photography because its not stable. You cannot expect to images that can be composited using it. Even if you lock every segment down tight, throw sandbags on the base, etc. It's simply not stable. Very disappointed. I also lost the brake inside the crossbar and the tightening handle came off. Manfrotto support took a month to get back to me and basically just tried to sell me the replacement but I have to figure out how to disassemble the whole thing on my own. (It's NOT easy) To fix the brake for now I have threaded two bolts together to give me something to tighten, but I'm ruining the post with scratches because there isnt a pad or break inside. Just awful experience overall. This thing is just hot garbage as far as I'm concerned. Shopping for a used Cambo now.

Yes, the brake unit is available separately. That would be the Manfrotto ASM BRAKE UNIT, BH #MARX0806.123 (https://bhpho.to/3GhWvid).

You definitely need to purchase an attachment to work with this. I bought this one and have been happy with it: Induro PHQ1 PHQ Series 5-Way Panhead

Do you need to buy a camera attachment or does if come with the bracket?
Asked by: Tina
You would need to purchase some type of attachment. The screw that comes out on the arm is a 3/8ths inch size which doesn't fit in the bottom of a camera. At minimum you'd need this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824417-REG/Impact_ca_103_Small_3_8_Female_Threaded.html?sts=pi&pim=Y But I'd recommend some type of tripod head for this.

question

With the Mini Salon 190 Camera Stand, do you have in-the-box dimensions for us on this (i.e. is it 2 box because of the pole and platform, or are they shipped conbined as one package, etc.) We need to ship overseas through our own carrier, unless you have an agent in the EU. Thank you. Graham

Unfortunately we do not have access to the shipping dimensions of this product, nor can we confirm how many boxes it may be packaged in prior to shipping the item. The best we could offer you is that once you have placed the order and it has been shipped, our Customer Service would then have the packing dimensions of all the boxes used to pack these items. You may email [email protected] once you have placed the order. We are able to ship this world-wide. You may calculate your actual shipping options/order totals by adding the items you want to a shopping cart. It will then list the shipping options, descriptions, ETA's and fees to your location.
