Review: Manfrotto 190PROB with 488RC2
Thoughts and Opinions:
This is a very sturdy and well built tripod and ball head. I really do enjoy the time I have used it. To be honest I have not used it too too much however when I do need it, it is nice to have.
The weight is on the heavy side for taking it on a hike and what not however I want heavy because of stability. So the tripod wont blown as much in the wind as well the chances of knocking it over is less as well.
It is nice to have the ability to have a horizontal center column for taking macro shots with this tripod. The extendable legs work well and are sturdy. The material is used for the construction is good.
Overall a very good quality tripod.
Usage:
Long exposure photography was my main use, I sometimes use it for Macro work but my 105mm VR is usually fine without a tripod and I usually find it does more harm than. good having my tripod there for macro work. But I did cover that with my 105mm review. I have used my tripod for macro work it is stationary like flowers in my mom's garden. Sometimes I use it for portraits.
Pros:
- Well built
- Good material
- Sturdy
- Good weight
- Great cost for performance
Cons:
- None come to mind

Conclusions:
This is a good tripod and does it the trick. I am very happy with it and I am glad that I got it. As I said it is sturdy and well built from good materials. If you are looking to get a tripod, Manfrotto does, from my experience, have good products. My buddy also has a Manfrotto tripod and likes it as well.
Sorry this was a semi-short review but it is fairly straightforwards that it is a good tripod and such. If you have anything you think was left unanswered from this review feel free to comment on this post and let me know. I would not mind at all in answering your questions.
