Review & Description

The Manfrotto 190XDB three-section tripod is stable, flexible, and easy to use, making it a great choice for amateur and professional photographers alike. The tripod is distinguished by its redesigned aluminum frame, which is lighter than previous incarnations and slightly more compact.

As a result, it's more convenient to bring this tripod along on shoots without weighing yourself down.
Plus, the ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism and the quick-action leg locks have also been greatly improved, making it a breeze to open, position, and close the tripod in just a few seconds. The tension of the locking mechanism is even user-adjustable, so you can find the right tension for your comfort level. And should you need to balance the tripod on an uneven surface, you can set each of the legs to a different spread angle over the tripod's center of gravity--a must for nature shots on outdoor terrain.

The 701HDV is developed specifically to support the latest prosumer and professional light, compact HD camcorders. The 701HDV offers an updated design, which has been created for improved ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow for a more solid grip and better control, a better fluidity thanks to improved internal fluid cartridges, a double pan-bar rosette and a bigger sliding plate to optimize the position of the camera/camcorder considering its centre of gravity.

The Padded Tripod bag is made to carry a tripod (including head) up to 22" long. It is made of Heavy-Duty Cordura Nylon. The case has a largezippered exterior pocket, shoulder strap and handles.

Bonus Monopod Included!
