The Manfrotto MT294C3 Three-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs is one of the larger tripods in the 290 family. It provides solid support for a DSLR or other camera with carbon fiber leg tubes. It uses a next-generation carbon tubing--an innovative composite tube with optimized fiber angles that provide consistent advantages over aluminum tubing in terms of rigidity, lightness and stability. The three-section construction with larger diameter carbon tubing than the 293 models maximizes camera stability and minimizes vibrations, and is ideal for zoom lenses that amplify any camera shake. With its universal 3/8"-16 stud, it's ready to attach to most photography heads.
The two-position leg angle settings make low-angle shooting possible, while a rapid center column adds flexibility and extends the height range. The maximum height of the three-section tripod is 5.54'; it can function all the way down to 15.63", and it folds down to 24" for transport and storage. The MT294C3 tripod supports loads up to 11.02 lb. The disk at the top of the center column is compatible with any Manfrotto head. A head is required for normal operation, and is not included.
