Stability with center column extended vertically: The 190XPROB reliably supports my camera and heaviest lens when the center column is extended to a bit much more than half its length. The tripod also gives stable support with the center column completely extended, offering a little extra care is taken when positioning the tripod and vibrations (e.g., from wind or targeted traffic) are minimized. Stability with center column extended horizontally: Getting in a position to change the center column from vertical to horizontal is among the outstanding functions of the 190XPROB -- very handy for macro work. The tripod is stable in any leg configuration with the center column extended to about two-thirds of its length. With the legs spread within the two or three widest positions, the tripod is stable with the center column totally extended horizontally. Ease of operation: Simplicity itself. The flip lever leg locks open and close effortlessly, lock securely. The tripod legs slide smoothly. Leg length adjustments throughout use are painless. The center column raises and lowers easily, rotates smoothly. Attaching a ball head is no problem at all. Extremely quick set up in the field. (More...)
