Review : Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 with Markins Q3 Ball Head

That's a nice setup. I almost went with the same tripod.

Great head

Thanks for the review. The 190CXPRO3 is what I'm considering to. This review sure will help me making the decision.

The Markins Q3 is a work of art isn't it? I love mine.

Anyone know where I can get the flex cable with screw lock?

Yes, I really LOVE IT..!!!
the BH is SOLID, SOLID & Still very super SOLID..!!!

I have an XTi (400D) and 24-105 lens, so basically the same set-up as you.

I'm curious how stable the tripod is when the centre column is fully extended to the top, and when the column is at the 90 degree angle. Any movement?

Thanks.

Fully extended is still quite stable.
But I dont really fully extend the centre column, since I'm only 1.72m tall.
as for the 90 degree angle is doesn't shake or have movements.
But my advice will be if you want to fully extend or 90 degree is still better to open the legs wide and that's will helps.

Pretty much any tripod will be less stable once the center column has been fully extended. Vibrations from winds or breezes, passing traffic, even your footsteps around the tripod, will magnify their effect on the stability. Extending the center column horizontally will also have the same effect, especially during long exposures. You're basically dangling about 3-4 pounds of gear away from the most stable portion of the tripod...

hardware stores do carry them, but they charge almost $5. Get them for $1 here.

Hi all,

I have make a details review of this Tripod.

Firstly, take a look at the Tripod Base.
The finishing is not that smooth and fine from the pix.
There is a leveling gauge is May kind of useful sometime.
And there are 3 screws on the base plate. That’s actually to secure the BH. (Is act like a double locking system)

Very nice review!
I have the "regular" 055XPROB and I was surprised to see that this one is quite smaller than mine. I am 180 cm, and with the 488 RC 2 I can stand up straight and look through the viewfinder. (30D withour grip)...

For tripod people may ask, how am I going to carry it.
Actually I got an Optech tripod strap and ThinkTanks padded bag (Bazooka).

The top cover has a pocket. But is for you to keep the excess long strap.
