The advantage to this is weight and rigidity, allowing for the highest possible reduction in weight while maintaining an extremely rigid and strong tripod set up.
One of the core pillars for Manfrotto is design, with the 190CX there has been no exception made. All the locking, lever and main castings have been redesigned to allow not only for a beautiful product, but also granting ergonomic improvements as well as lightness and reliability.
The 190CX incorporates the use of 100% carbon fibre tubes for the legs and the centre column. All the central castings are made out of magnesium adding to the over all light weight and performance of the tripod.
Much like the aluminium 190XPROB the new 190CX has the innovative Q90° (quick centre column system).
The CX PRO versions include now the new tri faceted 100% carbon fibre tube slides with ease from the vertical to horizontal position, giving it the XPRO’s famed characteristic.
Manfrotto incorporates the new 3-layered rounded 100% FULL CARBON TUBES including a central column for improved rigidity and lightness.
The 190CX incorporates new angle selector levers that have been designed to improve ergonomics and the over all feel.
The top plate has also been changed. The PRO versions new magnesium top plate now incorporates a bubble to aid in levelling the tripod and camera. It also has been highly refined to create a very appealing design that also reduces weight.
The new ergonomic locking levers for the legs have been completely redesigned to improve the functionality. They are much easier to operate and become a seamless element of the tripod.
