The new 290 Xtra Carbon is the ideal combination of top stability and lightness - it is the first ultra-sturdy carbon fiber tripod aimed at the amateur photographer.

The 290 Xtra Carbon is a 3-section tripod, the largest in the 290 series, with carbon fiber legs to increase sturdiness and stability, so it can support heavy equipment. The upper casing is made of magnesium, as are the leg locking levers, which can be tightened gradually to compensate for the effects of wear from use.

The key feature of the tripod is the option to lock the legs in four positions, a capability that maximizes the creativity of photography. The central column rises quickly for additional flexibility, thus extending the maximum and minimum height limits. A new rubber grip on one leg ensures comfortable handling and maximum ergonomics. The tripod comes with a special shoulder bag for easy transport on any occasion.

The 290 Xtra Carbon is available in a kit with a ball head, specially designed to be compact and easy to transport. Its wide, spherical movement combined with the lightweight 200 PL quick release plate allows for quick and easy framing. The head is made entirely of aluminum and features friction controls so the photographer can make precise adjustments to the framing, even with heavy equipment.
