Manfrotto 190GO! Carbon Fibre 4 Section Tripod

The 190GO! CF is TIPA's Tripod of the year 2016

The 190 go! completes the advanced hobbyist and professional offering with a more compact and easy to transport version of the successful 190 tripod. In its carbon fiber version, delivers maximum rigidity combined with the lightest components. The new twist locks allow the easy opening and closure of all sections at once with a single hand movement, making it ultra-fast to operate the tripod. Twist locks occupy less space compared to a lever, making the tripod light and compact. The 90°column mechanism is hidden inside the tripod’s top casting until it is needed; the mechanism can then be raised with a single finger, allowing the centre column to swing to the horizontal position. Together, the 90°column and the 4 leg angles enable you to get low down to the ground like no other tripod. Taking its lead from our professional equipment lines, an Easy Link attachment in the top casting turns the tripod into a mobile studio and allows it to hold a LED light, reflector or other accessory. The 190 go! is made in Italy by Manfrotto.

What TIPA said about the 190GO! Carbon Fiber Tripod when awarding it the "Best Tripod" 2016:

There is no question that a tripod both enhances still and video images as well as opens up many more shooting possibilities, yet their weight and size often discourage photographers from carrying them. Manfrotto has responded with an emphatic Go with their new 190 Go! Carbon, a full featured tripod that is light and collapses down to a very portable size. When fully extended the tripod can achieve a maximum height of 147cm (57 inches) yet it can be collapsed down to a bit over 47cm (18.7in). The new model weighs just 1.4kg (2.9lbs). It features twist lock legs, a 90 degree centre column that can be used for horizontal and macro work, and a low shooting height of 7cm (2.76in). The tripod can support up to 7kg (15.43lbs).
