After extensive research involving many manufacturers and quality/price levels I decided on the MT190XPRO4 as the best combination of cost and features. I own/owned several tripods over the years, but my favorites have always been those manufactured by Manfrotto. I have owned my present studio tripod (Manfrotto) since the early 1980's and next to the other Manfrotto model on the mobile base with one hand positioning fore and aft, left and right which I found superfluous to my needs and sold off, it is my favorite of all time. It is too long and too heavy to travel with, a problem I have now taken care of with the purchase of the MT190XPRO4. I outfitted it with the same "old school" Model 108 Heavy Duty ball head as my studio tripod and it can be folded to 26cm and hung off my backpack. I have taken it out for a test run and find it to be very stable with a fairly long lens (70-200) even though it weighs considerably less than my other Manfrotto. Could I have found a "better" one? Sure, this model is available in carbon fiber from the same manufacturer not to mention a few others, but we're talking a few ounces, not pounds in savings, for considerably more money. Pleased? Yup!Read full review
