Product Description

Style: With Bonus Case | Product Packaging: With Bonus Case

The 290 Dual is a 3-section tripod featuring aluminum leg tubes and top casting enhancing rigidity, durability and performance. 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 the patented 90° center column mechanism, which allows the column to be extended vertically as normal, or horizontally, effortlessly opening up a wide range of framing options. This makes it an extremely versatile tripod, suitable for a wide range of photography applications. Moreover its choice of four leg angle positions maximize shooting creativity, getting right down to ground level. A new rubber legwarmer guarantees comfortable grip and maximum ergonomics. The new 290 Xtra Carbon 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.

3-way photo head constructed of ultra durable and lightweight technical polymer, the new 804 is now even compact thanks to the new retractable levers, with ergonomics handle provided with rubber. The new patented 804 has a unique spring feature to assist in the tilt motion of the head to compensate for heavier, off-centre loads. Moreover the standard quick release plate fits snugly in the low-profile receiver.

Wow! I am fairly new to DSLR photography, so I was hesitant to spend this much on my first tripod, but I am so glad I did! It is solid when set up, and the ball head is gorgeous. It feels slightly heavy when folded, but it is compact and made very well with high quality components. I will enjoy this tripod for many years. I bought another $15 tripod elsewhere, and it broke in two different places before I left the house for my first nature shoot! Not to mention that I just didn't trust it to hold nearly $1000 worth of dslr equipment since it felt so cheaply made. Don't waste your money on knock-offs...just get a Manfrotto and be confident that you made a nice, long-term investment.

I was looking for a tripod that would hold my full frame camera and zoom lens well. I was looking for something that would hold at least 7 pounds and would have ball head. This one is easy to use, I feel that my camera is safe when on this one. Two knob security for removing and attaching the camera is nice. Ball head is smooth and sturdy and holds well in any angle with my heavy camera on it. This tripod is not very light weight and is not very heavy either. Its legs can be extended wide angle to place this one on non even surfaces. Very useful and well build product.

This is my first 'serious' tripod. I bought the el cheapo tripods from the large chain stores but they would break or they were not sturdy. Because of I suffer from back pain, I did not want to something too heavy and I also did not want to spend more than I paid for my camera.

After many searches around the web, I settled for the Manfrotto MK293A3-A0RC2 293 Aluminum Tripod Kit with Ball Head and Quick....

The construction is great, it looks great and it easy to use. I use this for long exposure photography, family portraits, light paint photography, and family events.

Cleaning is easy unless sand goes inside the legs. For this , you would need to remove the legs and clean inside to remove the sand and other debris. I found that to avoid this, wrapping them with plastic before you take shots in the river, will avoid taking it apart.

I expected a bit more from the name and the cost, but overall it is stable, very light and capable. However, it is equally light on features, and very basic in design. If you can put up with more bulk/weight find something more fully featured. I've kept my Ravelli for use at home and car travel - this one flies with me.

The Manfrotto ripod works flawlessly...it has some weight to it, but I like the fact that it has some substance. I have it strapped to my sling bag, and its not too heavy to have with you when you need it. Great tripod when you want top notch quality at a reasonable price. The ball head is great, goes from horizontal to vertical in a snap.If you need a tripod this is the one...look no further.

Oh man! I was very skeptic about buying Manfrotto stuff, it just seemed too expensive. I've had around 5 other tripods, some cheap and some not that cheap, but this one is truly the best. It is strong, stable and compact. It is also versatile and useful. It's my favorite. I like the simplicity of the design. One feature that I really enjoy is that I leave the bracket connected to the camera at all times, and it has a little metal loop to which I connect my camera sling ( Fotasy NSQF Anti-Slip Sling ). So if I want to transition from hand held to the tripod, I just unlock the sling, and connect the camera to the tripod in less 5 seconds and vice versa.

This is a nice sturdy tripod. I searched high and low for a decent tripod for around $150. His HS a nice ball head and sturdy legs. It holds my Canon 70d with the Sigma 50-150mm lens. It is easy to put up and take down. It is a little heavy. Around 4 lbs but you can't have everything in this price range. I highly recommend this tripod.
