Manfrotto 190X and 190XPROB tripods due imminently

We've just received word that the new Manfrotto 190X and 190XPROB tripods will be available within the next few days. In their press release, Manfrotto says:

"Newly redesigned, the 190XPROB makes the famous Manfrotto patented horizontal centre column feature even easier to use.
Now, by extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung round to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved."

The 190XB is built on the same foundation as the XPROB, but without the horizontal centre column, making it slightly lighter and more compact.

Pre-orders for both models available this week.
