The 190XPROB, which replaces the best selling 190PROB has been redesigned to make the horizontal centre column feature even easier to use. Simply extend the column to its highest position, release the lock and it will swing to its horizontal position with no need for column disassembly. Both the lever leg locks and leg angle release system have been improved for simpler operation, whilst the tripod retains a convenient built in bubble level and foam hand grips.
468MG Hydrostatic Ball Head:
The Hydrostat is our most advanced ball head, designed to meet the demands of professional photographers for a lightweight, but at the same time heavy duty load capacity head. This model has similar features to our standard range of ball and socket heads, with independent pan and tilt locks, 360° pan and +90° / -90° tilt movement - but employs a revolutionary friction and locking mechanism. An inner oil chamber is compressed by turning the locking knob, exerting even pressure on the whole of the underside of the ball, which ensures sturdier locking and higher capacity... for camera and lens loads of up to 16kg. This head has a magnesium die cast body, a 2” Teflon coated aluminium ball which combined with specially designed tension surfaces provides movement as smooth as silk.
A calibrated adjustable tension control allows you to preset the ball tension to suit your camera weight and give you fingertip control. The oversized lock knob is easier and quicker to find and turn. The second benefit of the liquid-based locking mechanism is that it all but eliminates unwanted movement during the locking phase. Completing this masterpiece, a graduated panoramic base and an easy-to-use fixed camera platform with dual 1/4" and 3/8" camera fixing screw and graduated markings.
