Full working height in a compact kit
Element MII Aluminium Black brings a 160 cm working height and an 8 kg safety payload into a 1.55 kg tripod that folds to 42.5 cm. It is designed for hobby and aspiring photographers using compact, mirrorless or DSLR cameras at home and on the road.
Dual-lock ball head
The included aluminium ball head uses a large primary knob to control and lock ball movement, plus a separate smaller knob for independent 360° panning. This makes it easy to refine the frame without releasing the camera position.
The lightweight 200LT-PL-PRO plate has rubber grip inserts and works with both Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-type head attachments, giving the kit practical compatibility across common photographic systems.
Fast four-section setup
Ergonomic twist locks secure the four aluminium leg sections quickly, while the patented selectors switch between 25° and 35° leg angles for accurate positioning. The rapid centre column reaches full height fast and can remain lowered for a 132 cm working height.
A spring-loaded hook beneath the centre column accepts additional ballast when conditions call for more stability.
Ready to travel
At only 42.5 cm when closed, the tripod fits easily into travel luggage. A rubber leg warmer improves carrying comfort and the supplied padded shoulder bag protects the complete kit between locations.
The black finish retains the distinctive Element MII graphics while the aluminium spider and leg structure provide a robust base for everyday photography.
