Manfrotto 190XPROB Tripod Manual Review

Manfrotto 190XPROB Tripod is an excellent option for those who are not willing to fork over the money to go all out with a carbon fiber set of legs. However, you do end up with a less durable option.

lthough I still think is a little expensive I have to say that as a newbie in photography I am amazed by all the twist and flexibility this tripod has. You can put it as short as 15 cms and adopt almost any position you can imagine. The legs are very strong and it feels like a good quality product.It is a little heavy so I wont use it for long trips but for home and trips by car is a very good option. I am sorry if I am not very technical but this is my first tripod and I am new to photography.

Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Aluminum Pro Tripod

Manfrotto 190XPROB Tripod Product Features:
* Horizontal column feature allows the tripod to reach extremely low positions.
* Eye-catching new design improves ergonomics of the leg angle levers and the horizontal column block.
* Leg angle presets increase the tripod's stability in bad weather conditions or on uneven terrain.
* Quick action leg locks with new improved design.
* Built-in bubble spirit level makes camera alig nment quick and easy
* Centre column can be quickly and easily swung from vertical to horizontal without any disassembly.

5.0 out of 5 stars - solid yet lightweight german engineering, March 12, 2008 By E. K. Arnold "amazon hunter" (yay area, usa)

the manfrotto 190xprob may be the best prosumer tripod legs on the market. that is to say, if you need more tripod than this, you're either a wildlife pro or a serious amateur with some long prime lenses. the 190xprob replaced a cheap VidPro with a plastic head that was very creaky and required overt carefulness. the difference is really astounding, and when you factor in the durability...

5.0 out of 5 stars Xshot makes self-portrait taking a cinch!, December 28, 2007 By Tracy Konn "tracybebe" (Honolulu, HI)

My fiancee and I travel every other month to places far and near. Very often, we find ourselves in front of the Trevi Fountain, Haleakala summit, or Eiffel Tower wondering, "Who should we ask to take our picture?". The XShot makes self picture taking so easy, but be warned, you will attract attention. I can't begin to count how many times I've heard whispers of, "Ask her where she got it" or "That is so cool!" It is so simple to learn, you don't need an instruction manual. It takes great pictures and works ... Read more

Opteka X-GRIP Professional Camcorder Stabilizing Handle

Opteka X-GRIP Professional Camera / Camcorder Action Stabilizing Handle- Black

I highly recommend the X-GRIP because it is light weight, sturdy, and at a good price. The X-grip allows me to get really creative angles and shots that are impossible to get hand held. This grip is extremely useful for everyday use and I plan on using it all the time.

Opteka X-GRIP Professional Technical Details:

* Fits most compact cameras and camcorders with a standard 1/4-20 thread
* Cushioned NBR padded handle alleviates the stress of lengthy filming
* High-grade ABS impact-absorbent plastic
* Shoe mount (removable) for video lights, flashes, or microphones
* 1 Year Opteka Warranty

This feels really good for being from Opteka, who is normally very shady, imho. I think they should stick to these kind of products instead of the the jankey lens and grips they make. Would actually recommend this to anyone wanting more versatility on recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars - X-grip is an excellent accessory for action video, September 5, 2010 By James Prine

I bought the X-Grip for camcorder use. It was shipped fast and arrived in perfect condition. I appreciate the simple, uncluttered, straightforward design which was executed with quality materials. Attaching it to the camcorder is swift and easy, and the X-Grip can even be attached to a tripod or other mount when operating the camcorder. The heavy-duty accessory shoe can be detached. The grip of the unit is heavily padded and comfortable to use. Small built-in 'loops' at the top and bottom... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for the price!!!, July 11, 2010 By S. Gibson

First I ordered this tripod on Amazon.com and it arrived right on time. It qualified for free shipping which was great, the box weighed 20 lbs.

I felt like I was taking a bit of a gamble when I ordered this tripod. There is not much info out there on Ravelli and the APGL4 tripod is a new product. I am really happy with what I recieved. There is no plastic on this thing anywhere. The pistol grip head alone would usually cost more than this whole setup. It comes with two plates which is nice and has all of the features you would expect in a tripod costing much more. The center colum is ... Read more
