Ideal for photography enthusiasts

The Manfrotto 290 Xtra is a 3-section aluminum tripod kit that includes an 804 3-way pan and tilt head. It supports up to 22 lbs, making it suitable for various camera setups. The aluminum magnesium alloy construction provides a stable platform for sharp, blur-free images. This is the largest model in the 290 series.

Upgrades from basic travel tripods

The tension-adjustable leg locks counteract wear to maintain a secure hold over time. Four leg angle positions expand creative low-angle and macro possibilities beyond standard two-angle designs. The rapid center column extends the working height range quickly without sacrificing rigidity. Retractable levers on the head allow precise framing adjustments in tight spaces.

Handles medium to large camera rigs

The 22 lb load capacity accommodates professional bodies with telephoto lenses comfortably. Maximum height reaches 67.5 inches for eye-level composition while the minimum drops to 16.54 inches for ground-level perspectives. Folded length is 27.8 inches for transport in the included shoulder bag. The quick-release plate speeds up mounting and dismounting during active shoots.

Questions about this item

What is the folded length of the 290 Xtra tripod so I know if it fits in my bag?

The three-section legs fold down to 27.8 inches, and a dedicated shoulder bag is included for transport.

How do I secure the 804 3-Way Head to the rapid center column without it loosening?

Mount the head on the column's 3/8-inch thread, tighten the locking knob firmly, then engage the head's own pan and tilt locks before shooting.

The leg-locking levers are tension-adjustable — how do I maintain their grip over time?

When the levers start to feel loose, open each one and turn the tension screw slightly clockwise until the leg locks solidly again.
