Best if used in the Garbage

I've had this tripod for a few months with minimal use. It's flimsy and it's already broken in two places. I wish I hadn't wasted my money. Will be buying something else to replace it.

Ital design and workmanship

Beautifully made and clever engineering. Light weight yet very sturdy. Had a gx8 and a d5500 mounted on a bar by flashpoint and it was quite stable. Used a Koolhada ball head purchased elswhere and it is a great set up.The tilting coluum should be useful but I have not ued it other than checking how it operates. My previous tripod a tiltall is much heavier but the twislock legs are a pain to use and prone to slipping. As always quick shipping and double boxed which was fortunate as the outer box was damaged but the manfrotto box was unscathed.

The Manfrotto 290 Dual is a combination of sturdiness and innovative high-end technical features. It is the ideal solution to enable hobbyist photographers to get extremely creative on their shoots.

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 90½ 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 290 Dual comes as a kit with a center ball head specifically designed for compactness and transportability. Its broad, spherical movement together with its quick release plate mechanism enable rapid, easy framing. The head carrying the 200 PL Light plate is fully made of aluminum and features friction control to help photographers make the finest adjustments to their compositions even with heavy equipment.
