Overview

The Manfrotto Alpha S.H.O.T. Grip Tripod Kit (MK-R02-SD) incorporates the Manfrotto 190 Series aluminium legs, a proven standard in tripod leg design known for durability, versatility, and smooth operation. This integration forms the foundation of the tripod's rugged, field-ready performance.

Detailed Integration of the 190 Series Aluminium Legs:

Aluminium Construction: The 190 Series legs are crafted from high-quality anodised aluminium, offering a balance between strength and lightweight handling. This makes the tripod durable enough for heavy-duty outdoor use while remaining manageable during transport.

Four Leg Sections with Flip Locks: The tripod features a four-section leg design with quick-action flip locks, allowing for fast and secure leg length adjustment. The flip locks are tension-adjustable, ensuring long-term reliability even in demanding field conditions.

Independent Leg Angle Adjustment: Each leg of the 190 Series can be individually locked at multiple angle positions. This allows for maximum flexibility on uneven terrain and enables stable setups in difficult environments such as rocky ground, slopes, or tight spaces.

QPL (Quick Power Lock) System: Although some models use twist locks, the version of the 190 Series integrated into this tripod includes Manfrotto's Quick Power Lock system, which provides stronger locking force with a single-handed operation and visual lock confirmation.

Ground-Level Adapter: The tripod includes a removable center column, a key 190 Series feature, which when detached allows for ultra-low-angle shooting down to 10.2 inches (25.9 cm). This ground-level shooting capability is ideal for macro photography or low-angle tactical positioning.

Integrated Bubble Level: The 190 Series also features a built-in spirit level mounted on the tripod collar. This helps users ensure perfect horizon alignment without adjusting the head or camera.

Using the 190 Series legs, the Manfrotto Alpha S.H.O.T. tripod ensures field-proven mechanical performance with ergonomic enhancements and modular flexibility. These legs are widely respected in professional photography. They are now adapted in this tripod to support not just cameras but also hunting optics and firearms with the same precision and reliability.
