The essential feature of the Manfrotto MT190XPRO4 is the 90-degree rotation mechanism of its central column, which allows you to position it either vertically (usual position) or horizontally, opening up a plethora of framing and shooting possibilities. The horizontal position mechanism is located inside the upper part of the tripod to ensure a compact size but can be easily revealed whenever you need it. The transition from vertical to horizontal position requires no disassembly and can be done even if a camera is already mounted.

The tripod legs extend and adjust quickly thanks to the clamps that lock or release each one separately. The special construction of these clamps provides great ease of handling even with one hand. Each leg can be fully extended with a single movement. The design of the clamps also offers dynamic locking of each section, making the tripod more stable than tripods with traditional clamps. Smart and ergonomic angle selectors for each leg allow it to be positioned independently of the other two in preselected positions-angles, which also gives freedom in tripod placement.

There is an integrated level in the upper part of the tripod's central column for framing accuracy. This level rotates freely around the central column, making it easy to place it in the most convenient position for the user while adjusting the tripod without being obstructed by the head or the camera or obstructing the camera's control buttons.

Finally, the upper part of the tripod features a connector on which camera or video accessories (such as an LED light, flash, reflector, or other components) can be easily attached.
