Manfrotto MK290LTA3-3WUS 290 Light Aluminum Tripod Kit with 3-Way Pan and Tilt Head, 8.8 Lbs Capacity

The Manfrotto 290 Light is the first sturdy supports of the 290 collection dedicated to hobbyist photographers that is also easy to carry.

The 290 Light is a 3-section tripod, the smallest in the 290 range, featuring aluminum leg tubes and aluminium 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 or wear, keeping the tripod fully functional throughout its long lifespan. Two leg angle position settings enable low-angle shooting, and a rapid centre column adds flexibility extending the min-max height range. A new rubber legwarmer guarantees comfortable grip and maximum ergonomics.

The 290 Light comes as a kit with a three-way photo head specifically designed for compactness and transportability, while also allowing precise framing and solid support of medium-heavy camera equipment. The head's distinguishing feature is its unique handle-folding mechanism for when the head is not in use. The three-way head is made of Adapto, a special lightweight polymer which keeps it extremely lightweight while guaranteeing high mechanical resistance for sturdy support.
