Manfrotto Kit 190xpro 43 Way Stativ

I use this tripod daily for real estate and I love its sturdiness and ease of adjustability. The knobs for the tilt and level are great. I can adjust them with great speed and accuracy, and the bubble levels are perfectly placed. My only complaint is the pan adjustment. In the beginning it was fine. I could adjust the tension and control pans fairly well. IT would also lock up nicely without too much pressure. However, after about a year, the pans gradually became a bit jumpy, as though the added friction was not evenly distributed around the vertical post. A couple months ago, tightening the pan control knob made for a very rough panning experience. This turned into a grinding noise, and finally the tension ring seized up completely preventing any kind of pan. I took the head apart and found metal fragments and deep gouges in both the ring and vertical post. Im waiting for a callback from Manfrotto.

Nice stable tripod, what I expected. I use it only in a studio, so it will be perfect.

Right out of the package it was very easy to set up and use, it is very sturdy and still rugged. I cannot wait to go outside and use

This Tripod is high quality built strong and also is precise with adjustments. Highly recommend!!

I'm using this for an A7R iii with a lens as big as the Sony 100 - 400Gm lens and the 28-135 power zoom. It handles the weight, and is very steady. I'd recommend this to any user of quality tripods. Which should be everyone.
