I use the Manfrotto full size tripod 055XPROB. It's legs that go to 90° and center column that goes to 90°. their lowest height spec is 3.5". If you want the center column to remain upright, you can get a short column that lets you drop down to 10". Go to the manfrotto site to see what's available. The 055X is larger and heavier than the 190X, but goes higher.
My oldish 055B allows you to remove the centre column and refit it upside-down. Haven't looked to see if they still allow this (I assume they would) but it has come in handy a few times. It's not much fun to use like that as the legs get in the way and it's hard to see into the viewfinder.
Also the pan/tilt head I use is quite large so I have to be careful or the handles will bash into the legs which restricts the movement a bit.
