Manfrotto Compact Advanced Tripod + 3 Way Head

Photo enthusiasts using entry level DSLRs with standard zoom lenses up to 200mm are the ideal users who target the features of the Compact Advanced tripod from Manfrotto. The tripod has a 3-way foldable head to gain framing accuracy and stability on the subject. The head is combined with aluminum 5 leg sections reinforced throughout the body for rigidity even at its maximum height of 165 cm. Its lowest height of 44.5 cm is just as sturdy and can hold a payload capacity of 3 kg balancing the tripod weight of 1.42 kg. The Compact Advanced Tripod comes with a padded bag. Keep the tripod in a safe place when not in use to a folded length 44 cm.

Product Features in Detail

Two independent, ergonomic levers
This three-way head has two independent, ergonomic levers. One controls both pan and tilt movement simultaneously whereas the second controls levelling. With these two control-levers you can easily obtain level, well-framed images and regulate all movements independently. 

Great portability
This head has been specifically designed to minimise dimensions and maximise portability. A unique mechanism allows the levers to be folded when the head is not in use, making the tripod easier and more convenient to carry. 

Rigidity at its finest
The high performance three-way head combined with reinforced, five-section tubes make the Compact Advanced the optimal solution for rigidity whilst also being able to reach the superior height of 165cm/65in when extended. 

Compatibility
The Compact Advanced is designed to work perfectly with entry level DSLRs with standard zoom lenses up to 200mm but are compatible also with any device up to 3.0kg/6.61lbs. Please consider that a lot of semi-professional and professional equipment exceeds these requirements. 
If you own a Sony Nex 5R/5T you have certainly noticed that these particular models have a very small surface area around the mounting thread. For this reason, in each Compact Light box, you will find a special adaptor that will increase the surface area of these specific cameras in order to better grip the tripod and obtain maximum stability. 

Colours
The Compact Advanced is available in two colours, black and white, with matching padded carrying bags. To preserve and protect its finishing and original colour we recommend cleaning it with a standard white pencil eraser. Special products or water could damage the finishing.
