Manfrotto 290 Xtra Aluminium 3-Section Tripod Kit with Ball Head
The Manfrotto 290 Xtra Aluminium 3-Section Tripod Kit with Ball Head is a versatile camera support system that combines a lightweight aluminium tripod with a compact ball head for smooth, precise camera positioning. Extending from 40cm to 171cm, it supports up to 10kg of gear while weighing just 2.2kg, making it ideal for documentary crews, event videographers, and solo creators who need reliable stability without the bulk. The flip-lock legs adjust independently across four angles, the tension-adjustable locks stay tight over years of use, and the included 496RC2 ball head delivers quick camera attachment with RC2 quick release and friction control for dialling in exact framing.
Built for Real-World Shooting Conditions
The MT290XTA3US tripod features rubber feet that grip slippery surfaces, a rubberised leg grip for comfortable carrying, and a shoulder bag for protection during transport. Whether you're setting up on polished floors, wet grass, or uneven terrain, the adjustable leg angles and independent leg locks let you level the tripod quickly without fussing with the centre column. The aluminium construction balances durability with portability, so it travels easily between locations without sacrificing load capacity.
Precise Control When Framing Matters
The 496RC2 Compact Ball Head uses a single repositionable locking lever and a dedicated friction control knob to fine-tune camera movement. The ball-and-socket joint provides 360° swivel, ±90° tilt, and dual-sided tilt notches for vertical compositions. The RC2 quick release cam lock includes a safety catch to prevent accidental disconnection, so you can swap cameras confidently during multi-camera shoots or when moving between handheld and locked-off setups.
