Manfrotto 190XB + 804RC2 3 Way Head Special   Date: Thursday 09 July, 2009 News Summary: Manfrotto 190XB + 804RC2 3 Way Head $299 inc GST and Free Shipping News Content: The Manfrotto 190XB Tripod Legs with 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head builds on the success of the older 190 series, and has been redesigned to offer better ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism and improved quick-action leg locks. It is a lightweight, compact and sturdy tripod, ideal for 35mm or digital SLR cameras, light medium format cameras, or compact camcorders, especially when on the move outdoors. The 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head is 20% lighter than its predecessors due to the use of Adapto material. It also features improved ergonomic design plus a counter spring system. Built into the forward/back tilt axis is a fixed spring that helps to absorb the shock of the full camera weight from crashing down. The spring also makes it easier to position the camera on this axis since it opposes some of the camera's weight.           • 3-faceted center column which totally eliminates column rotation • Redesigned, more ergonomic flip locks, with only 45° of movement • Leg warmers on 2 legs ease handling in extreme weather conditions, and help to protect the legs • Built-in low angle adapter in the center column for ground level shots • Four leg angle settings (25,46,66 & 88°) Take me to the Special Article Statistics: Viewed:553 Current Reviews: 0
