MANFROTTO 290 XTRA CARBON WITH BALL JOINT 804

The new 290 Xtra Carbon is the perfect combination of extra stiffness and light weight; it is the first extra-robust tripod especially aimed at amateur photographers

The 290 Xtra Carbon is a 3 section tripod, the largest in the 290 range, with carbon fibre leg tubes, which increases the rigidity and stability of the tripod, allowing it to easily withstand heavy equipment. The upper structure is made of magnesium and the tension of its leg sections locking levers can be adjusted so that they can be tightened to counteract any effect of age or use.

A key feature of this tripod is the ability to position the legs at four different angles to maximize creativity in our shots. Its fast central column adds flexibility by extending the maximum-minimum height. A new rubber heater ensures a comfortable grip and maximum ergonomics. The tripod is delivered with a specific shoulder bag that ensures comfortable portability in any situation.

The new 290 Xtra Carbon is available in kit with the new updated version of the 3-way 804 quick-release photographic kneecap, specifically designed for compact size and portability. This patented kneecap ensures precise framing and solid support of medium-weight camera equipment.

One of the highlights of this new kneecap is its retractable motion control levers that retract when not in use, resulting in a more compact size for easier transport. Its newly designed ergonomic controls are made of rubber with excellent grip.

The 3 way kneecap is made of Adapto, a lightweight polymer that allows it to maintain a light weight while ensuring high mechanical strength for a sturdy support.
