The Bogen/Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs with 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head follows in the footsteps of the highly popular and award winning 190X series, but has been further improved thanks to the use of carbon fiber tubing for its legs. By using 100% carbon tube structures for its legs, the 190CX guarantees a higher load capacity and an increased height with a lighter overall weight (-20%), thanks to a completely new design which incorporates the use of lighter components.
The 190CXPRO3 is a 3-leg section tripod, with a center column design that allows it to be used in either vertical or horizontal position. By extending the column to its highest vertical position, the column can be swung over to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself.
The 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head is 20% lighter than its predecessors due to the use of Adapto material. It also features improved ergonomic design plus a counter spring system. Built into the forward/back tilt axis is a fixed spring that helps to absorb the shock of the full camera weight from crashing down. The spring also makes it easier to position the camera on this axis since it opposes some of the camera's weight.
