It was years ago I saw it, and the impression left in my memory is the

just remember seeing either a review or an ad for a tripod with a
detachable leg in either Popular Photography or Shutterbug.
I think I got about $90 for it when I sold it, and applied the money
towards a Bogen 3021.

Both convert to monopod. TravelFlat flattens down to a very low
profile -- pretty cool actually.

Subject: I need a tripod
Hi Everyone:
I saw this new tripod
I travelled round Ethiopia, Zanzibar, South Africa, Romania and India with an
early version of the Manfrotto 190C (aluminium). I hardly ever used it, but it
was easy enough to travel with, and is a good tripod.

Yes, the leg clamps are fast and easy to operate, very secure. It gives up an
inch or two in collapsed length compared to the 4-section model, but it's
sturdier and a about two inches taller, and a touch lighter. Lots of trade-off

I need to get to a camera store to check out the suggestions you and Godfrey
made, which I'll try to do next weekend. Both look really nice. Thanks Stan.

Big thanks, Godfrey. This Mano 190CXPro3 looks really attractive. I love the
horizontal capability of the center column as your photos show. How are the
leg clasps? Easy to manipulate?
I just may save up for this one. It looks sleek, uncomplicated. Am I right
about that? :-)

Hi Christine: I've made a pledge not to buy another Calumet tripod. I bought
one, and 8 months later it broke. I still use it for some things, but I hate
taking it out in the field. I think a basic Calumet tripod is fine for a
studio, but not for out in the universe. :-)
