Combined mine with an Oben BC-139 head and have been using both for over three years. Has travelled all over northern California and Oregon on the back of my Harley and no problems and still looks good! Holds my Canon 5d MK II from light lenses to my 600mm with no problems.

Last year saw Manfrotto introduce the 190Go! tripod which featured twist leg locks rather than lever locks on the leg sections. The 190Go! range has since been extended with the addition of the 190Go! Carbon Fibre – a lightweight, rigid tripod with precision controls to adapt to every scenario.

Manfrotto quality and design. Do your research, know which tripod's best for your needs. This was exactly what I wanted in a lighter-weight (than my Bogen) tripod I could attach to a backpack, but still solid enough to be reliable, and built to last.
