Manfrotto 290 Xtra Kit Aluminum 3 Section Tripod with Ball Head

If there’s the smallest tripod in the 290 range, surely there is the biggest. The 290 Xtra Kit Aluminum 3 Section Tripod with Ball Head provides a maximum height of 170 cm and a minimum height of 40cm, just enough to carry a payload capacity of 5kg. Even though the tripod has a folded length of 65cm, you will still be able to maximize transportability with the included special shoulder bag. This tripod replaces the Manfrotto MK294A3-A0RC2 with additional features like aluminum adjustable leg locks, rubber legwarmer, a center ball head, plus 4 leg angles positions that you can manipulate in every shoot.
