Photography Monthly looked at six of the top carbon fibre tripods in the market and the Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 got a maximum 5-Stars!

‘You can’t fail to be impressed the first time you pick up a carbon fibre tripod. To the seasoned hill walker/photographer, it’s akin to sliding into a pair of comfy slippers after a day in heavy boots,’ wrote Photography Monthly’s Roger Payne.

And the leading publication had no hesitation in awarding Manfrotto's 190CXPRO3 5-Stars saying: ‘A compact, lightweight model (the base weighs less than 1.3kg), the 190CXPRO3 offers a good range of features and plenty of stability for camera/lens combinations up to 5kg.

'Unlike some models here, the centre column is also carbon for further weight saving.'

You certainly can’t argue with that kind of assessment and is an accurate reflection of why Manfrotto continues to set the pace in tripod technology and innovation. 

The beautifully engineered  Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 is available to buy in the UK at RRP £269.95.
