The Bogen/Manfrotto 190MF4 is the four-section version of the 190MF3, and is even more compact for traveling and just a few inches shorter in height when fully extended. It is an ideal tripod to fit into a backpack. It provides professional photographers with a tripod that's very light, compact, simple to use, strong, and extremely versatile to position.
Without compromising on stability or rigidity of the tripod, the 190MF4 consists of carbon fiber legs that feature quick action lever locks in magnesium and resin. In addition, the design of the 3001PRO series top spider is used with this model; this offers four leg angle settings, and allows the center column to be converted into a lateral arm.
The center column itself is of the latest generation of aluminum and resin materials. The low-angle adapter forms the top section of the center column and is easily detached by simply unscrewing the knob at the bottom of the column. This enables the head to be left mounted on the center column when switching between low-angle and normal shooting positions.
Specially designed for 35mm SLR and medium format cameras, the 3275 (410) Compact Geared Head uses easily adjustable knobs and offers precise geared movement in three directions: 360° of pan, +90 to -30°: of front tilt & +90 to -30° of lateral tilt. This professional head has a large camera platform and a leveling bubble, and the camera screw travels in a 2" slot to facilitate perfect balancing of the camera's center of gravity.
