Weighing just 5.6 lbs and including a dedicated shoulder bag, it’s engineered for professional photographers seeking stability, versatility, and portability in one sleek package. ## Description 290 Xtra is the link between past and future: it’s still the classic rock-solid 290 tripod but it features new style and technical functions. 290 Xtra has become more flexible thanks to the new 4 leg angle positions that allow photographers to be much more creative. It maintains its solid aluminum construction with an exciting design update. This kit comes with a 3-way head for precise set up. A dedicated shoulder bag makes it the perfect photographic companion both indoors and outdoors. Review: Great legs, okay head. - Review of the 290 XTA 3-Way Kit: Legs: This has outstanding legs. They are very small, compact, yet they are so sturdy and can get exceptionally tall! I own several Manfrotto tripods and I have used many in the bast, and I am telling you that these are my favorite tripod legs I have ever used hands down! Head: The 3 way head is okay. Its built well and will probably last a long time, mostly metal and strong plastic. The only thing is, when you are adjusting the angles, its kinda jerky and hard to get in the right spot. Unlike my other, nice, fully metal Manfrotto tripod heads that smoothly adjust the angles. Its bearable, but I found it to me a little annoying on architectural shoots, as it was hard to get my "lines straight." Also it only has one bubble for leveling which I found made it even harder to level (vs a 2 bubble leveling system. A bubble for each plane of axes.) The plus side to the single bubble system though is that you can see it when you are in a tight situation, such as being in the corner of a room when photographing a house. Conclusion: If you are looking to buy your first tripod, buy the whole kit, its awesome and a great price! If you have a little more money, I would recommend that buy the legs on their own and then buy a tripod head of your choice to attach to them. (Its easy to do) Side note, if you want to film video with nice smooth pans, this tripod head will not do the trick. You will want to look into the Manfrotto 502 Video Head MVH502AH. I hope this helps! Thanks. Review: Wow! Very solid! I love it! - After using a cheap SunPak tripod for 10+ years, I can’t believe the difference! I should have coughed up the money for this upgrade a long time ago. Very, very sturdy, rock solid! Obviously made with very high quality materials. Think Ferrari of tripods! Just a little heavier than I expected, but still 5 STARS all the way! ## Features - Premium Italian design - Adjustable aluminum Leg Locks - Robust aluminum construction - Shoulder bag included - 4 leg angles ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B013JS87KO | | Best Sellers Rank | #112 in Complete Tripod Units | | Brand | Manfrotto | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (246) | | Folded Size | 27.8 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00719821396598 | | Head Type | Pan Heads | | Item Length | 67.5 inches | | Item Weight | 5.6 pounds | | Leg Diameter | Approximately 0.5 to 1.25 inches | | Manufacturer | Manfrotto | | Manufacturer Part Number | MK290XTA3-3WUS | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Maximum Height | 67.5 inches | | Minimum Height | 16.54 inches | | Model Number | MK290XTA3-3WUS | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of leg sections | 3 | | Special Features | Flexible | | UPC | 719821396598 642892775002 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Weight Limit | 8.8 pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Manfrotto - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Camera - **Special Feature:** Flexible - **Material:** Aluminum - **Item Weight:** 6.7 Pounds - **Weight Limit:** 8.8 Pounds - **Maximum Height:** 67.5 Inches - **Tripod Head Type:** Pan Heads - **Minimum Height:** 30.5 Centimeters ## Images ![290 Xtra Aluminum 3-Section Tripod Kit with 3-Way Head (MK290XTA3-3WUS), Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516YtfUD5TL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it true that the CF tripod really is only .5lbs lighter? Why is it so much more expensive then?** A: The carbon fiber offers better vibration absorption which comes into play with slow shutter speeds and long focal lengths. Other than that, it's just the weight reduction. If you walk, hike, bike and travel without a car, you'll appreciate every ounce that carbon fiber tripods save. **Q: I'm having a wobble with the head...is there an easy fix to this?** A: loosen the thumbscrew on the top of the mount, then rotate the head clockwise until tight. Then you can lockdown the head. should you need to rotate the head in a counter clockwise direction you have to loosen the thumbscrew slightly, other wise it becomes loose and the result will be head wobble. I hope this helps. **Q: Will the center post invert for macro shots?** A: Yes, it can be inverted. In addition, the tripod legs will go completely flat to the floor and allow the camera (depending on the lens used) to get within less than a foot from the floor. I just checked it out myself with this Manfrotto and my Canon 5D and it's a solid setup for macro photography. If you need a lens less than 10 inches or so from the surface, invert the head and you're good. **Q: Can the head point the camera 90 degree facing up towards the sky?** A: Hello Kavin,Yes, the head will allow for the camera to point up 90 degrees towards the sky.If you have additional questions, please let us know.Thank you,Shannon PROCAM ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great legs, okay head. *by I***M on March 28, 2016* Review of the 290 XTA 3-Way Kit: Legs: This has outstanding legs.

Just a little heavier than I expected, but still 5 STARS all the way! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must for Real Estate Photography β€” Saves Me Time on Every Shoot *by R***R on August 25, 2026* I've used different tripods for real estate photography for years, but after borrowing this Manfrotto from another photographer for just one day, I realized how much time I'd been wasting with other tripods. The biggest difference for me is the 3-way head. Instead of fighting with a flimsy ball head while trying to get my composition perfectly level, I can independently adjust each axis and quickly balance the shot. When you're photographing an entire property, those little time savings add up. The tripod itself also feels sturdy and stable compared with some of the cheaper options I've used. For real estate photography, where keeping vertical and horizontal lines straight is extremely important, that extra control is worth it. I wish I had switched sooner. If you're regularly shooting real estate, architecture, or interiors and you're still fighting with a basic ball-head tripod, this is an upgrade I'd recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manfrotto 290 Xtra 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with 804 3-Way Pan and Tilt Head - Manfrotto 200PL RC2-System Quick Release Plate with 1/4"-20 Screw and 3/8" Bushing Adapter - Manfrotto RC2 Compact Rapid Connect Adapter (#3299) w/200PL-14 Plate (#3299) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/17970737-290-xtra-aluminum-3-section-tripod-kit-with-3-way](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/17970737-290-xtra-aluminum-3-section-tripod-kit-with-3-way) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
