Manfrotto MK290XTA3-3W 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod with 804 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head

About this item

The New Classic: Manfrotto 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod Kit The Manfrotto MK290XTA3-3W is a high-performance tripod kit that honors Manfrotto’s heritage of “rock-sturdy” support while introducing cutting-edge technical features. The 290 Xtra is specifically designed for photographers looking for a taller, more stable platform without moving into the much heavier professional ranges. Built from high-quality aluminum, it provides a vibration-free base for everything from long-exposure landscapes to precise studio portraits, ensuring your images remain sharp in every scenario. Precision Framing with the 804 3-Way Head Included in this professional kit is the updated 804 3-Way Head (MH804-3W). This head is crafted from a specialized ultra-durable technical polymer, making it lighter than traditional metal heads while maintaining superior strength. It features a unique spring-loaded system that assists in the tilt motion of the head to compensate for heavier, off-center loads. Each of the three axes—pan, tilt, and level—can be adjusted independently using the ergonomic, retractable handles, allowing for the meticulous framing required in architectural and macro photography. Versatility for Every Environment The 290 Xtra is engineered to adapt to any environment you find yourself in. It features four independent leg angle positions, a significant upgrade that allows you to set up on steep hills, rocky surfaces, or uneven stairs with ease. The quick-flip leg locks provide a tactile and secure way to adjust your height, and their tension is adjustable, ensuring the tripod remains a reliable companion for years to come. For ground-level shooting, the center column can be adjusted to help you capture unique, low-angle perspectives. Italian Design and Comfort True to Manfrotto’s “Made in Italy” values, every detail of the 290 Xtra is refined for the user’s comfort. A new rubber leg warmer provides a firm, ergonomic grip and insulates your hands from the cold aluminum during winter shoots. The top disc features a renovated design with the iconic Manfrotto logo, signifying the tripod’s professional pedigree. Whether you are traveling between locations or storing your gear at home, the included branded carrying bag ensures your 290 Xtra is always protected and ready for the next shot.
