Manfrotto tripod query

[Nemesis]

I've recently purchased a Manfrotto tripod, complete with a 486RC2 ball head.

I didn't know before buying (and still don't, hence the reason for this thread) which model tripod it was, but I got a decent price if I were just buying the head alone, so I figured it didn't really matter what the legs were. I now have it in my possession, and I'm really happy with it.

I am however, curious as to which legs I have; the only marking that I can see, is a sticker on the side that says Manfrotto Gruppo. Is there any way for me to figure out which legs I have?

Cheers,
Micky

Post a picture of them, no doubt someone will be able to identify them for you. Either that or have a look at the Manfrotto website....

Their website isn't much help tbh. Let's try and tap into that wealth of knowledge that's out there

Could be a 190D :shrug:

055 range, looks similar to my 055 but the leg locks are different.

I wondered about that, but couldn't find any mention of those catches on the 055. The legs are certainly thick enough to be 055 though

Looks like an older set of 190 legs

gruppo means 'group' so not the name of the item. 190s looks right.

Could be an old 055C, I have the CB and the B just means black although the locks are slightly different
