Introduzzjoni
The Manfrotto 190XB is a robust and versatile 3-section aluminum tripod designed for photographers requiring stability and flexibility. This model features a redesigned aluminum frame, offering a balance of durability and portability. Its ergonomic design includes improved leg-angle release mechanisms and quick-action leg locks, facilitating rapid setup and adjustment. The tension of the leg locking mechanism is user-adjustable, allowing for personalized control. This tripod is engineered to provide reliable support for various photographic applications.
Setup
- Żpakkjar u Spezzjoni Inizjali: Carefully remove the tripod from its packaging. Inspect all components for any signs of damage. Ensure all leg sections, locks, and the center column are intact and functioning correctly.
- Attaching a Tripod Head: The Manfrotto 190XB does not include a tripod head. To attach a compatible head, locate the 3/8-inch screw on the top plate of the tripod's center column. Align the base of your tripod head with this screw and rotate the head clockwise until it is securely fastened. Ensure it is tightened firmly to prevent movement during use.
- Deploying the Legs: Release the quick-action leg locks on each leg. Extend each leg section to the desired length. Press the leg-angle release mechanism near the top of each leg to adjust the spread angle. The tripod offers preset leg angles of 25, 46, 66, and 88 degrees for various stability requirements and terrain types. Once the desired length and angle are set, firmly close all quick-action leg locks.
- Extending the Center Column: To increase the tripod's height, unlock the center column collar located at the top of the tripod chassis. Gently pull the center column upwards to extend it. Once the desired height is reached, tighten the collar securely to lock the center column in place.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
- Aġġustament tal-Angoli tas-Saqajn: Each leg features a mechanism to set its angle independently. Press the leg-angle release button and move the leg to one of the four preset positions (25°, 46°, 66°, 88°). This allows for stable positioning on uneven ground or for achieving low-angle shots.
- Using Quick-Action Leg Locks: The tripod's quick-action leg locks allow for rapid extension and retraction of the leg sections. To unlock, flip the lever open. To lock, press the lever firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure all locks are fully engaged before placing equipment on the tripod.
- Center Column Operation: The rapid center column can be quickly raised or lowered. Loosen the locking collar, adjust the column to the desired height, and then firmly tighten the collar. For maximum stability, keep the center column as low as possible.
- Kapaċità tat-Tagħbija: The Manfrotto 190XB is designed to support equipment up to 11 pounds (approximately 5 kg). Do not exceed this weight limit to ensure stability and prevent damage to the tripod or your equipment.
- Balancing on Uneven Surfaces: Utilize the independent leg angle adjustments to adapt the tripod to challenging terrain. By setting each leg to a different spread angle, you can maintain the tripod's center of gravity and ensure a level platform for your camera.
