What does mt190xpro4 mean?
In the name MT190XPRO4, the “MT” indicates the recently (as of this review date) updated model, the 190 is the series I’m referring to, the “X” refers to the aluminum model (“CX” refers to carbon fiber) and “4” refers to 4 leg sections. Here is the chart of specifications:
Is the Manfrotto mt190xpro4 tripod any good?
The Manfrotto MT190XPRO4 Tripod is great looking product with a far-above-average amount of design innovation implemented. Manfrotto’s Quick Power Lock (QPL) leg locks, pull-down angle lock releases and the 90° center column design are differentiators in the crowded field of tripod options.
What size lenses can I use with my mt190 tripod?
I used lenses as large as the Canon EF 600mm f/4 L IS II USM Lens on the MT190 tripods, but suggest that you use 500mm f/5.6 or 300mm f/2.8 lens as your retracted Manfrotto MT190CXPRO4 Carbon Fiber Tripod load limit guideline. I suggest limiting use of this tripod to mid-sized lenses up to 300mm when fully extended with the center column retracted.
How do I use the mt190xpro4’s rapid center column?
Once set up you can use the MT190XPRO4’s rapid center column in standard vertical mode or swing it into horizontal position like a boom with Manfrotto’s 90° Column feature. Enlarged tabs on the individual leg angle selectors allow you to get down to only 3.2″ for macro work with the column in horizontal mode.
