A quick release plate can be kept attached to the camera’s base. This allows you to attach or remove the camera from the tripod quickly and easily without having to waste time fumbling with the threaded mount.

The XC-M 525C is more than just a tripod, it’s part of an expansive modular system.

CA Residents: Prop 65 WARNING(S) 

The ProMaster XC-M 528 tripod’s 5-section, transverse legs fold 180° making the entire unit just 16 1/2″ long for storage and travel. Fully extended, it reaches a working height of over 6.5′! Each leg’s angle and length are independently adjustable, allowing the XC-M 528 to properly support your camera on uneven ground. A two-stage center column allows you to maximize working height without sacrificing the tripod’s compact size. The center column is reversible, and the weight hook can help achieve better stability in windy conditions or when making long exposures. Its dual-action ball head is strong, precise, and lightweight, with an independent pan control. It has an integrated memory lock for repeatable tension control and uses ProMaster’s Dovetail quick release system (Arca-compatible) for fast and secure camera connection.

XC-M stands for eXtreme Compact Modular, and it is the modular component that makes this tripod system truly special. Expand and customize the XC-M tripod to meet your specific creative needs:

– While some tripods use a single, detachable leg to form a monopod, all three legs on a ProMaster XC-M tripod are removable and can be attached to the center column to form a full-sized monopod. By connecting a set of ProMaster Extension and Macro Legs (product 3559), you can either extend the tripod’s height or achieve an incredibly stable macro tripod.

– Remove the rubber feet at the bottom of each leg and replace them with a set of All Terrain Feet (product 3510) for a robust system of stainless-steel spikes with soft, removable covers and sand/snow baskets.

– Slide the center column out and add a Ground Level Adapter (product 3531) for low-angle shots, or try the Column Tilt Adapter (product 4028) to convert the center column to a multi-position adjustable boom.  

Every ProMaster XC-M tripod has a Mini Dovetail Plate installed in its yoke, which lets you quickly add an accessory such as a flex arm or articulating arm. Pre-attach your accessory to a ProMaster MD Clamp (product code 3573), and it can then be installed or removed from the tripod in a matter of seconds. 

XC-M is the most adaptable tripod system available anywhere in the world today.

Enabling fast setup and take-down, as well as a streamlined profile, the M-Lock System twist locks are used and require just a single 90° rotation movement to swiftly deploy the individual leg sections. The 190go! is also characterized by its center column that can be positioned at a 90° angle, parallel to the ground, for working from a minimum height of just 3.5″. The independent leg sections, with four set leg positions, benefit working on uneven grounds and the carbon fiber tubing is both lightweight and rigid for high stability. Additionally, an Easy Link attachment in the top casing extends the versatility of the tripod and allows for attaching an LED light, reflector, or other accessories without the need for an additional stand or rig.

Set up is faster than ever with Manfrotto’s Quick Power Lock System that allows you to completely extend the tripod legs with just one hand. Once set up you can use the MT190CXPRO4’s rapid center column in standard vertical mode or swing it into horizontal position like a boom with Manfrotto’s 90° Column feature. Enlarged tabs on the individual leg angle selectors allow you to get down to only 3.2″ for macro work with the column in horizontal mode. And once you’re down there you can attach any of Manfrotto’s flexible or articulated arms to hold lights or reflectors via the Easy Link plug built into the tripod’s spider.

Convenience features include a bubble level that rotates so that you can see it easily regardless of the tripod’s position. Finally, Manfrotto’s insistence on form following function has yielded a tripod that you’ll not only be happy to use but you’ll be happy to be seen with, too.
