                              The Manfrotto MT190XPRO4 4-Section Aluminum Tripod is of excellent build quality with advanced features including its unique 90° center column mechanism which allows the column to be extended both vertically as normal but also horizontally to open up a wide range of framing and shooting possibilities making this tripod extremely versatile and suited to a number of photography and video applications.  Switching between vertical and horizontal column orientation is easy and requires no disassembly, just readjust the column as needed.  The 4 section legs help reduce the closed length for the traveling photographer while also allowing greater extended length.  The special design of the Quick Power Lock levers offers more powerful locking of each leg section meaning more stability than traditional designs.  Intuitive leg angle selectors allow each leg to be independently set to any preset angles allowing even more freedom.   The included bubble level in the top center column helps you get precise framing, and it also rotates freely so you can position it anywhere without the mounted head getting in the way when adjusting the tripod.  Additionally the top casting of the 190 has an Easy Link connector for supporting extra photo or video accessories such as flash, reflectors, or other types of equipment onto an extending arm or bracket, making the tripod into a mobile multi-purpose studio.

                              The Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a 3-section support that replaces the 055CXPRO3 tripod. It has a load capacity of 19.8 lb and extends from 3.5" to 66.9". Its carbon fiber legs are secured by updated flip lever Quick Power Locks, which increase the tripod's rigidity by 50% compared to previous lever locks.  A redesigned center column has a "one finger" operation, and includes an Easy Link attachment for attaching accessories such as an LED light or a reflector. The center column can be positioned horizontally, allowing for low-angle and macro photography. The upper disc where a tripod head is mounted has been redesigned as well, and now has a bull's eye bubble level that rotates 360° so you can locate it where you can see it. This allows you to level your camera on both the horizontal and vertical planes.
