Manfrotto 190PROB brand_Sennheiser this is arguably more usefulThe Manfrotto 190PROB is a well made tripod with easy to use flip lock legs, repairable hardware, and a sturdy, classic design. Extends to about 5 feet without centre column. Useful bonus: the centre column can be removed and reinserted horizontally, for macro or copy work. Accepts any head with a standard 3 8" thread. Some paint and finish wear, good function.
