I was at CP yesterday and saw the latest Manfrotto tripod,190XB.

Introductory price for it now is $155.

Does anyone got it? What's your feedback? :)
 

Price is reasonably cheap. With it's new vertical to horizontal layout without removing the centre column, should be very appealing to 190 lovers.

they only got XB, not XProB... different thing altogether... only 190XproB have the vertical to horizontal thingy...
 

yes there is a different btw Xprob and Xb. :) But the new model got its advantage and disadvantage.
 

Just curious... how much will the price for XproB be like?
Will be nice feature to have the centre column feature.
 

I suppose it's according to one's preference and height. But for me i dun like extending the centre column, that's y i didn't buy it.

converted from a 055ProB to a 190XproB...

overall its alot lighter, height is ok, since add head, add camera, fully extend almost same height, just slightly bend. not like previously, fully extend, i still must tip toe...
 

How much did you get the 190XProB for?

I'm interested to know from where too. Thanks!

Hopefully eugenep or vhubber can bring them in soon. ;)

I know 190 series is lighter but it's still a bit too short for me. 055 is perfect, after fully extending, i just adjust a bit to get the desired height.
 

Can't really reveal how much i got it or from where, cos its a special order.

not exactly on the cheap side as a 190ProB but definitely better.

its extremely easy to use. loosen the centre column grip, pull, press the button on the rear & push all the way out, and viola, horizontal... then to return, do the same.

wah like some secret / 007 / mission impossible thing huh? ;)
 

If only 055 series can also do the vertical to horizontal switch thingy.

Can, but you have to unscrew and screw back the top section of the centre column, so much so that you will be pek chek til you want to die. :bsmilie:
