The Best Portable Tripod Legs

Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber Tripod

The 190CXPro3 is a bit steep on price but you are getting a really nice, professional set of legs that will last a long time. They have all the great features of the 190XProB but come in carbon fiber for extreme lightness and amazing rigidity.

The 190CXPro3 comes withc great features like a quick sliding center column that has the ability to flip between vertical and horizontal positions. With a horizontal setup it is really nice for those macro shots, allowing you to get right up next to flowers. The 3 legs are able to move independently of one another, which is great for uneven surfaces. They are also able to lock in at a variety of angles for increased stability and low shots.

The maximum height is a little shy of 60 inches, so if you are looking to get a bit more height you may want to go with the Manfrotto 055CXPRO3, which has a height of around 70 inches and a bit more weight capacity. The two tripods are nearly the same in every other way except you pay a bit more for the 055CXProB, which is why the 190CXProB is the best portable set of tripod legs.
