I love it

I have sony a6000 and it works with this tripod. I’m a beginner in photography and never owns a tripod before. This is surprisingly easy and sturdy tripod. It’s a good tripod for traveling and a good tripod for overhead shot photo as well

All of the actions in this tripod are quite robust. It’s very lightweight and has some cool features to make shooting with it a pleasure. I bought it for shooting video in my workshop and it’s been working out really well! Definitely would recommend to a friend due to the great value.

It's Manfrotto - isn't that enough?

But seriously. Wonderful little tripod. I use it everywhere and it's super reliable. I've been on hiking, camping, road and cross country trips and she's a trustworthy partner in my kit.

While the Manfrotto 290 Dual 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with 804 3-Way Pan and Tilt Head may appear simple, it's a perfect blend of robustness and cutting-edge technical features. This tripod is an ideal tool for photography enthusiasts looking to elevate their creativity during shoots.

Constructed with aluminum leg tubes and a top casting, the 290 Dual enhances rigidity, durability, and performance, making it a reliable choice for both photography and videography. The aluminum leg locking levers are tension-adjustable, ensuring the tripod remains fully functional throughout its long lifespan by counteracting any effects of aging and wear.

One of the standout features of this tripod is the patented 90-degree center column mechanism. This allows the column to extend vertically or horizontally, providing a broad range of framing options and making it an incredibly versatile piece of equipment. With four leg angle positions, this tripod encourages shooting creativity, even allowing for ground-level photography.

Comfort and ergonomics are also considered in the design of the 290 Dual. A new rubber leg warmer ensures a comfortable grip, enhancing the user experience. The tripod comes as a kit with the updated 804 three-way photo head with a quick-release plate, designed specifically for compactness and easy transport.

The patented head of this tripod guarantees precise framing and solid support for medium-heavy camera equipment. Its retractable levers fold away when not in use, enhancing its compactness and portability. The newly-designed ergonomic handles are made of a special, grip-increasing rubber, ensuring a secure hold during use.

The three-way head is constructed from Adapto, a lightweight polymer that maintains a low weight while providing high mechanical resistance for sturdy support. This high-quality, versatile, and durable Manfrotto 290 Dual 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with 804 3-Way Pan and Tilt Head is a valuable addition to any photographer's gear.
