11 Advertisement feature Great for on the go! MANFROTTOTRIPODS The latest in Manfrotto’s 190 line-up of pro tripods is lighter and more compact to take you and your photography even further
If a tripod is an essential part of your kit, it doesn’t matter whether you’ll be carrying it on a day trip to the Lakes or a holiday to Yosemite National Park. Wherever you decide to set up, you’ll want it to be equal to the job in all ways. Manfrotto has long been associated with top-end tripods and its 190 range, in particular, has gained a reputation for being easy to use and high performing. Adding to that impressive heritage, there’s a brand-new tripod released in the 190 series: the new 190 go!. It takes lightweight to another level and as for being easy to use, setting up will take you no time at all; this latest 190 tripod really delivers on all fronts, for unlimited and totally spontaneous creativity. The 190 go! is available from the end of March with an SRP of £159.95. Slimline stats If you are going to be carrying around a tripod, the lighter the better. Shed the pounds with the 190 go! which is the most portable tripod in the 190 series. Weighing in at just 1.7kg, the 190 go! is a truly lightweight option which, depending on how you see it, either saves your back the extra work or frees up some kilos for even more gear in your bag. Even more impressive, it folds down to just 45cm in length. You still get plenty of height with the 190 go! though, as it extends out to a maximum of 146cm, offering you even more portability but giving just as much scope for shooting. Spontaneous shooting Yes, it builds on the design heritage of the prestigious 190 series, but in terms of innovations, it’s got plenty, not least of which is a new twist locking system. There’s no juggling of kit whilst you try and wrangle your tripod open: all it takes is one hand to open and close the go! for an ultra-fast set‑up time, so next time you spot a great photo opportunity you can be ready to shoot in no time. The twist lock system takes up less room than a traditional lever too, adding to the 190 go!’s slimline profile. Once you’ve got your tripod open, setting the angle you want for its legs is no hassle either – in fact it’s easy and intuitive to do, leaving you even more time for photographing.
Endless creativity The 90° column means that as well as getting great height from this tripod, you can also take things low to the ground. The column doesn’t get in the way when you’re not using it, only coming into its own when you need a new, lower perspective. The 190 go! also includes an Easy Link attachment which can hold your accessories, from LED lights to reflectors, giving you even greater versatility. Good looks Its distinct but subtle style makes it undeniably from the Manfrotto family of tripods. As with all Manfrotto tripods, you can expect quality like no other. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the 190 go! is made from premium materials and comes with up to a ten-year warranty. Reliable, flexible and incredibly compact, the 190 go! tripod is the perfect travel companion for any photographer wanting portability and high performance. No compromise necessary. Reliable, flexible and compact, the 190 go! is the perfect travel companion
