DESCRIPTION

The Manfrotto MK290XTA-BH 290 Xtra Aluminium Tripod with Ball Head extends from 15.7″ to a maximum height of 66.9″. It weighs 4.9 lb and can hold up to 11 lb of gear.

The included 496RC2 Compact Ball Head is constructed of die-cast aluminum, has a single repositionable locking lever, ±90° tilt movement, plus a friction control for precise positioning. An RC2 quick-release plate allows for fast and easy camera attachment.
