Manfrotto Carbon-Stativ MT190CXPRO4

The bubble level on top makes leveling the camera a breeze, and even with a heavy lens it holds rock solid at full height. It packs down small enough to throw in any bag, which is exactly what I needed for hikes with my α7 IV.

I was surprised how stable it feels even with my heavier lens setup, and the four-section legs lock down firmly without any wobble. The integrated spirit level saves me time leveling shots on uneven ground.

The 160cm max height is perfect for my Sony α7 IV when shooting landscapes, and the four segments lock down rock solid even with my heavy 70-200 lens attached. I've used it in some windy conditions and the stability at full extension honestly surprised me for something this light.
