Manfrotto 190Go! (MT190GOC4TB) carbon fibre four-section professional tripod.
Impulse buy on the last day of a photo show, this tripod was on display on a stand and I took advantage of show prices to save some money, but I've never actually used it, so am listing it at a low price for a quick sale.
As you'll see from the photos, the majority of the tripod looks as good as new new.The only marks are on its tripod bush base (see 2nd last photo), as there was a head on the tripod while it was on display, leaving a faint mark where it was attached, and on the red centre column collar from showing the tripod's horizontal shooting capability. There is a slight mark on one of the black shoulders caused by my wedding ring rubbing against it while taking the ebay photos - both marks are shown on the last image.
This tripod model has won various awards for its quality and ease of use eg TIPA, with the twist action M-Locks being fast and easy to use, making this a very popular model. It is supplied in the original box and includes the instructions (unopened).
I will allow the auction to run its course so please no requests for an early end or a Buy It Now price.
Manfrotto's web info:
Manfrotto’s 190go! M series high-performance carbon fibre tripod
is the ideal solution for professional photographers who want maximum
performance and lightness combined with classic design for their most
demanding projects. This professional tripod is the lightest, most compact solution in the 190 range. It mounts the M-lock system,
which is designed for photographers looking for a fast locking
mechanism allowing the tripod to be setup in seconds, leaving the user
free to concentrate on the shot they wish to capture. The M-lock
can be engaged or disengaged with a single 90° rotation movement.
Besides enabling immediate set up, the M-lock is highly ergonomic and
ensures precise movements and high stability, even with
heavy loads. Moreover, this mechanism has no protruding parts, which
means the 190go! M series can slip into and out of its storage pocket
effortlessly. The tripod also has a built-in 90° column mechanism
in its top casting, which stays safely stored away until needed. When
it’s time to use it, just raise it with a single finger, letting the
centre column swing out into the horizontal position. Combined with the
tripod's four leg angles, this mechanism gives perfect stability for
shooting on uneven ground. The new 190go! Carbon M-series owes its professional tripod status above all to its new Carbon Fibre tubing.
Indeed, this tripod’s carbon fibre legs are the perfect mix of supreme
lightness and stability. The carbon legs, combined with the twist locks
make this tripod the most portable among the Manfrotto professional
range. The 190go! Carbon M-series can easily be set to 4 independent leg-angle positions,
enabling photographers the versatility of easily changing shooting
perspectives intuitively and effortlessly finding the right tripod
height without losing focus on the shot at hand. Just like the regular
versions of Manfrotto’s professional grade 190 tripods, the Easy Link
attachment in its top casting turns the 190go! M-series into a mobile
studio, allowing it to hold a LED light reflector or other accessories,
for maximum creative freedom, enabling shots that were previously only
achievable with heavily accessorised tripods.
