Work creatively with total control. The 290 Xtra Tripod is designed for professionals or hobbyists looking for a reliable, user-friendly and high functioning photo tripod. This is a must-have in any kitbag offering superior features, and total convenience from set-up right through to the end of the shoot. And because it’s both lightweight and collapsible, you can easily dismantle it and pack it away when you’re finished. It’s also the biggest in the 290 range, so it’s perfect for carrying heavy equipment.

One of this monopod’s standout features has to be it’s lightweight aluminium body. Apart from making this an easy-to-carry piece of kit, this aluminium design means that the legs stay totally rigid when up, so you won’t have to worry about them buckling under pressure, or vibrating when you’re working to catch that perfect shot. There are 3 legs to this stand, which can be easily folded down when not in use, and speedily put up when you’re starting the shoot.

Other great additions include a unique angled wrist strap, giving you extra control of you kit, and a new rubber legwarmer. To combat any signs of wear and tear, the durable, tension-adjustable magnesium leg locks can be tightened as required, extending the stand’s lifespan even further. Getting started is a doddle too. you simply screw the monopod directly onto the tripod mount beneath your camera, and adapt for other gear as required with the handy, universal 6.35mm and 9.5mm attachments.

Shoot more accurately than ever before. The new 055 carbon fibre-3 section photo tripod offers outstanding rigidity and is incredibly lightweight. This engineering masterpiece from Italy has been manufactured to very high standards, and features a 90° column that can be extended vertically or horizontally so you can shoot with greater versatility.

With 100% carbon fibre tubes and an innovative Quick Power Lock (QPL) leg-locking mechanism, you can be assured incredible stability and rigidity under any conditions. This tripod not only absorbs vibrations, it’s also much lighter to carry around than the aluminium version. That mean it is a very good choice for travel photographers.

Don’t worry about disassembling your camera, because you can extend the column without your equipment attached. Open it single-handedly in only one movement, and position each leg to a pre-set angle so you can frame and shoot more precisely. The 055 carbon fibre-3 section has an innovative bubble level that rotates freely around the centre column, enabling you to position your camera so that nothing obscures it. Connect an LED light, flash, reflector or another video accessory via the Easy Link connector, which can be fitted to an extending arm or bracket. Make your tripod a versatile, practical mobile studio.
