Superior stability for heavy gear

The Manfrotto 290 Xtra carbon-fibre tripod supports up to 22 lbs, making it suitable for professional camera bodies and large lenses. Its carbon composite leg tubes and magnesium top casting provide high rigidity while keeping weight to 3.4 lbs. This model sits at the top of the 290 series for serious hobbyists who need strength without bulk.

Check leg angles and folded length

Verify that the four selectable leg-angle positions cover the low perspectives or uneven terrain you shoot on. The folded length is 24.5 inches, so confirm this fits your travel bag or luggage allowance. The adjustable magnesium locking levers can be tightened over time, but ensure the mechanism suits your preferred setup speed before ordering.

Behaviour under sustained load

The carbon fibre construction resists flex during long exposures or when supporting maximum weight for extended periods. Magnesium leg locks are designed to be retightened to compensate for wear, maintaining clamp force on multi-day shoots. The rapid centre column allows quick height changes up to 65.2 inches without losing stability when locked down.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The package contains the 290 Xtra 3-section carbon fibre tripod with magnesium top casting, adjustable leg locking levers, rapid centre column and four leg-angle positions. A compatible head is not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I decide between the available versions or capacities?

This model is a single 3-section carbon fibre configuration rated at 22 lb capacity and 3.4 lb weight; there are no alternative versions or capacities listed for the 290 Xtra.

What does the 22 lb capacity mean when I mount my camera and lens?

The 22 lb rating indicates the maximum combined weight of camera, lens and accessories the tripod can support while maintaining stability. Staying below this limit ensures the carbon composite legs and magnesium casting keep the rig steady.
