Manfrotto's 190 series are now at full standing height, basically the same length as the thicker 055 tripods.
This means that people up to approx. 180 centimeters in height do not need to reach the center pillar, it is only if you are over 185-190 centimeters that it is required. The old wing nut locks on the leg locks have also been abandoned. Nowadays, it is a modern and ergonomic snap-type leg lock that is designed for easier grip even for weak hands. Otherwise, the stand consists of lightweight aluminum legs, with two integrated rubber leg warmers (which are actually intended to provide a more comfortable grip). The spindle lock also has a new design and provides full spade possibility with detent positions. The leg locks are adjustable and tools for this are included. The feet have a new design
