290 XTRA · aluminium tripod without head
A rigid foundation for precise photography
The largest tripod in the 290 range combines rigid aluminium tubes with a special top casting. It is made for photographers who need stable, straightforward support and want to choose a head that matches their shooting style.
Four leg angles
Positions at 25°, 46°, 66° and 88° support low viewpoints and uneven terrain.
10 kg payload
The UNI/PdR 105:2021 safety payload provides capacity for a camera and the selected head.
Fast setup
A rapid centre column and flip locks shorten preparation time.
From low angles to 160.5 cm
Independent leg-angle adjustment expands framing options. The tripod reaches 137 cm with the centre column down and 160.5 cm fully extended, while the minimum working height is 30.5 cm.
Durable locks and easy transport
The aluminium flip locks can be retightened over time to compensate for normal wear. A rubber leg warmer improves grip, and the supplied shoulder bag protects the tripod during transport. The upper disc uses a standard 3/8″ thread for a compatible photo or video head.
