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 Aluminum Tripod and 494 Ball Head with 200PL-PRO Quick Release Plate 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
