Model: 190MF3 Mag Fiber Tripod

Description :

This tripod represents the top of the Manfrotto lightweight tripod range, providing professional photographers a tripod that is very light, compact, simple to use, yet high quality, strong and extremely versatile to position. To reduce the weight of the tripod without any compromises on stability and rigidity, the legs are made of unique, three-faceted carbon fiber tubes of 1.2 mm thickness combined with quick-action, magnesium and resin lever locks. The top spider uses the patented design of the 190PRO tripod, which is able to achieve four angle leg settings and convert the center column to a lateral arm. The center column used in this tripod comes from the latest generation of aluminum and resin, which allows you to leave the head mounted on the center column when switching between low angle and normal shooting positions. All parts are assembled using a proven pressure clamping technology that eliminates failure-prone glue joints for greater durability and in-the-field serviceability. To make transportation easier, the tripod is supplied with a padded carrying strap that can also operate like a hook in order to hang weights from to increase the stability of the tripod during shoots in extreme wind conditions. Ideal support for all advanced and SLR analog/digital camera equipment and spotting scopes.

Model: 190MF4 Mag Fiber Tripod

 

Description :

The four-section version of the 190 MagFiber is more compact when folded than the three-section 190MF3, but slightly shorter when fully open. 

The MagFiber series represents the top of the Manfrotto tripod range, providing professional photographers a tripod that, though light compact and simple, is of high quality, strong and extremely versatile. To reduce the weight of the tripod without any compromise on stability, the legs are made of unique, three-faceted 1.2 mm thick carbon fiber tubes combined with magnesium and resin quick-action lever locks.
The tripod shoulder uses the patented design of the 190PRO tripod, which is able to convert the 2-part center column into a lateral arm. Unscrewing the two parts of the center column allows you to leave the head mounted on the top part - which serves as a short column - when switching between low angle and normal shooting positions. The tripod also has four angle leg settings to facilitate low- and intermediate-angle positioning. 

All parts are assembled using a proven pressure clamping technology that eliminates failure-prone glue joints for greater durability and in-the-field serviceability. To make transportation easier, the tripod is supplied with a padded carrying strap that can also operate like a hook in order to hang weights from to increase the stability of the tripod during shoots in extreme wind conditions.

Ideal support for all advanced and SLR analog/digital camera equipment and spotting scopes.

Model: 055MF3 Mag Fiber Tripod

Description :

Specifically designed for extreme outdoor assignments, this tripod uses the same construction as the 055PRO but uses different materials for the legs and all metal parts. Like the 055PRO, the 055MF3 has a three-faceted aluminum center column, which can offset the pressure of the locking system and the torsion caused while in the horizontal position. The legs are constructed of 1.2 mm carbon fiber tube combined with magnesium diecasting, quick-action lever locking collars made of magnesium die-casting. Each leg can be set independently in one of four angle settings using the dedicated quick-action leg angle selector. The top spider is made of magnesium die-casting, and includes the clamping system for the dual position center column plus a built-in bubble level. To assure the best thermal resistance, all parts has been assembled using a proven pressure clamping technology that eliminates failure-prone glue joints for greater durability and in-the-field serviceability. A hand-padded carrying strap, supplied with the tripod, can also operate like a hook to hang weights from in order to increase the stability of the tripod during shoots in extreme wind conditions. It is ideal support for all SLR analog/digital camera equipment, medium format cameras and spotting scopes modified for digiscoping applications. PATENTED
