Manfrotto 290 Xtra Tripod with 3-Way Head Kit

290 Xtra is the link between past and future: it's still the classic rock-solid 290 tripod but it features new style and technical functions. 290 Xtra has become more flexible thanks to the new 4 leg angle positions that allow photographers to be much more creative. It maintains its solid aluminum construction with an exciting design update. This kit comes with a 3-way head for precise set up. Its aluminum leg-locking levers are tension-adjustable, so they can be tightened to counteract any effects of aging and wear, keeping the tripod fully functional throughout its long lifespan. This tripod’s key feature is its choice of four leg angle positions which maximize shooting creativity. Its rapid center column adds flexibility and extends the min-max height range. A new rubber legwarmer guarantees comfortable grip and maximum ergonomics.

The 290 Xtra comes in a kit with the new updated 804 three-way photo head with quick release plate, specifically designed for compactness and transportability. This patented head ensures precise framing and solid support of medium-heavy camera equipment. The key feature of this new head is its retractable levers which fold away when not in use, making it more compact for easier portability. Its newly-designed ergonomic handles are made of special, grip-increasing rubber. The three-way head is made of Adapto, a lightweight polymer which keeps weight low while ensuring high mechanical resistance for sturdy support.
