Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 3-Section Pro Carbon Fiber Tripod without Head

The Static Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 is characterized by a low weight, excellent handling, high stability and surprising flexibility. The reversible center column allows you to shoot straight down (macro, still life) without the tripod legs get in the way or the tripod head can be rotated at the end of its adjustability needs.

The weight is very low, the legs can be quickly and easily extend and fix. The tripod has a very high level of practicality, especially for travel photographers or those who must carry around a good piece with it.

I have long thought that I buy travel tripod. and the arguments for Manfrotto are:
+ rapidly reversible center column
+ Minimum height 8cm (top for ground macros)
+ Minimum weight despite reversible center column
+ 3 instead of 4 segments (with legs spread more stability)
+ quality workmanship
+ spikes attached
+ super value

The stand is very well made, also sit handles. All solutions are well thought out and well executed. Going on a long hike, it will surely someday getting heavier. But that's how it is when you can not do without good photos would.
One minus point from me is that on the tripod legs no foam grips, such as in the monopod from Manfrotto are. In cold weather, make the icy feel on the metal is not so pleasant (if the fingers are cold anyway).
Otherwise, so for the Manfrotto 190CXPRO33 is my recommendation for camera tripods.
