The two-way FLUID (fluid damped) head Manfrotto MK290-XTRA is the ideal companion for spectra under 85 mm in diameter. Thanks to the fluid damping, the tripod head can be adjusted very smoothly so that the position of the spectra does not change and the image is not altered when the movement is completed. The all-metal tripod and head assembly is both rugged and has a wide range of adjustment options, yet is easy to carry. When folded, it is only 69.5 cm long. Its working height can be adjusted from 40.5 to 169.5 cm, with the centre column lowered to a maximum of 146 cm. It has a load capacity of 5 kg and weighs only 2.56 kg.
One of the Manfrotto MK290-XTRA's legs has a rubberized protective cover, which will be really appreciated on cold winter days, as bare metal is very uncomfortable to grip in severe cold. The aluminium locks on the adjustable 3 section legs are adjustable in strength, adjustable tilt angle in 4 steps (25°°-46°-66°-88°). The tripod is supplied with a 200-PL replacement cartridge for quick and safe mounting of your spotting scope, camera or camcorder. Also included is a carrying case.
