Compact, durable and flexible. The ultra-clever 290 Dual Aluminium 3-Section Tripod Kit with 804 3-Way Head is a complete tripod with head set, packed with must-have features to make your life on the job easier than ever. This innovative piece of kit is both high-performing and completely practical. This makes it the perfect product for keen hobbyists or professionals. And the best thing about it, is that it’s super easy to transport. So even though you’ll have all the scope you need while you work, you’ll be able to compact it down and slot it into your bag without a fuss at the end of the day.

Standout design features include the 3-section tripod’s aluminium leg tubes. These give you durability, while ticking all those essential boxes when it comes to be easy to fold away and carry. Top castings on these leg tubes provide even greater rigidity, and sturdy aluminium leg locking levers are tension adjustable. This means that you can tighten them as needed, so even after heavy use, you’ll still be able to secure this clever tripod firmly. Plus, the smart 90° centre column mechanism allows you to extend vertically or horizontally, and you have incredible flexibility as well as durability.

Versatile as well as practical, this stand also has 4 leg angle positions, meaning you can get close to the ground for even greater scope while you work. And the new rubber leg warmers keep things nice and steady regardless of the terrain. But the tripod with head set wouldn’t be complete without a camera head. The ingenious 3-way head is made for savvy photographers looking for maximum framing control on all 3 axes. A retractable lever makes it a compact addition to your kitbag when collapsed too. It even comes with a quick release plate, and it’s made from technical polymer, which is both strong and lightweight.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Miles D. ★★★★★

I’m really impressed with how smoothly the 3-way pan/tilt head adjusts — it locks exactly where I want it for landscape shots. The aluminum build feels solid without being too heavy to carry on short hikes, which is exactly what I needed.

David ★★★★★

Finally, a tripod that doesn't wobble in a light breeze — the 3-way pan/tilt head makes dialing in precise compositions effortless. It's a bit heavier than I expected, but that solid aluminum build gives me confidence for long exposures.

Violet ★★★★★

Switching from a flimsy travel tripod to this one was night and day—the aluminum legs feel rock solid even on uneven ground. The 3-way pan/tilt head lets me frame shots exactly how I want without any sagging. It’s a bit of a workout to carry up a hill, but the stability makes every shot worth it.
