Newly redesigned, the 190XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal centre column feature even easier to use. Now, by extending the column to its highest vertical position and a push of a release button, it can be swung round to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning set-ups is more convenient than ever. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved to allow rapid deployment.
