The Manfrotto 290 Light Aluminium Tripod is an easy to carry yet sturdy support dedicated to photo enthusiasts on the go. With adjustable aluminium leg locks that enhance durability and versatility, it can extend to a maximum height of 144 cm or compress to a minimum height of 41cm. It can also withstand a payload capacity of 4kg. Storing the tripod is also a breeze due its folded length of 56cm. Meanwhile, the rubber legwarmer increases the grip and each leg can be adjusted with two leg angle positions. On the other hand, the Manfrotto BeFree Live Fluid Video Head is the smallest and lightest among all the company's offerings. Sporting a 40mm flat base that supports most photography tripods, it also has a 1/4" screw and 3/8" adapter for camera attachments. Meanwhile, its fluid drag system is enhanced by the quick release sliding plate and the removable pan bar. A bubble level indicates the camera's inclination.

Product Features in Detail

First Sturdy Tripod
The new 290 Light is the first sturdy tripod supports of the 290 collection dedicated to hobbyist photographers that is also easy to carry.

Smallest in the 290 Range

The 290 Light is a 3-section tripod, the smallest in the 290 range, featuring aluminium leg tubes and aluminium top casting enhancing rigidity, durability and performance. Its aluminium leg-locking levers are tension-adjustable, so they can be tightened to counteract any effects of aging or wear, keeping the tripod fully functional throughout its long lifespan. Two leg angle position settings enable low-angle shooting, and a rapid centre column adds flexibility extending the min-max height range. A new rubber legwarmer guarantees comfortable grip and maximum ergonomics.

Compactness and Transportability

The 290 Light comes as a kit with a mini ball head specifically designed for compactness and transportability. Its broad, spherical movement together with its quick release plate mechanism enable rapid, easy framing. The head carrying the 200 PL Light plate is fully made of aluminium and features friction control to help photographers make the finest adjustments to their compositions even with heavy equipment.

Portable and lightweight

The Manfrotto BeFree Live Fluid Video Head weighs only 0.38kg and can easily be transported anywhere.

Fluid movement and balance

With its pan and tilt drag knobs as well as the removable pan bar, you can switch to that desired angle easily. Likewise, the sliding plate and the bubble level indicates if the camera is in perfect balance.

Compatibility

The Manfrotto BeFree Live Fluid Video Head is compatible with the Manfrotto BeFree tripods, the Manfrotto 290 Light Tripod, and any tripod with a 40mm diameter.
