The Manfrotto 209 is an exceptionally compact aluminum tabletop tripod designed for low-angle shots, product photography, and quick support on a flat surface. When folded, it measures 14 cm, weighs just 94 g, and features a 3/8″ top screw that accepts a separate compatible tripod head or mount. It is sold as a base only, without a head; this is not the 209-14 version with a 1/4″ thread, nor is it the 209,492LONG-1 kit.

Low and Sturdy Support
A STABLE BASE FOR ANY CAMERA BAG
Three aluminum legs provide quick support on a table, shelf, or other flat surface. The low working height of 4.5 cm makes it easy to shoot from ground level, take product photos, or work in spaces where a standard tripod would get in the way.
The folded length of 14 cm saves space and lets you keep the tripod close at hand.
The sturdy top plate accommodates a compatible tripod head or mount.
The safe load capacity according to UNI/PdR 105:2021 applies to the base itself.
Precise Construction
STANDALONE TRIPOD WITHOUT HEAD
Model 209 features a rigid top plate with a diameter of 29 mm and a 3/8″ screw. Choose the head based on your equipment; the load capacity of the entire assembly is always determined by its weakest link. If you need a 1/4″ straight screw, choose the 209‑14 variant. The 209,492LONG‑1 kit also includes a ball head and an extension.
