Manfrotto 290 XTRA Kit with video head
The new Manfrotto 290 Xtra is the perfect solution in terms of stability for hobbyist birdwatchers and digiscoping.
The Manfrotto 290 Xtra is a 3-section tripod, the biggest in the 290 range, with aluminium leg tubes and special top casting enhancing rigidity, durability and performance. Its aluminium 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 centre column adds flexibility and extends the min-max height range. A new rubber legwarmer guarantees comfortable grip and maximum ergonomics. The tripod comes with a dedicated shoulder bag ensuring comfortable portability at all times.
The 290 Xtra comes in a kit with a lightweight aluminium fluid head with pan bar and quick release plate complete with secondary security. It features smooth, fluid movement, pan and tilt locks. This head is ideal for cameras up to 4 kg in weight.
