Manfrotto MK293A3-A0RC2 Lightweight 290 Series Aluminum Tripod / QR Ball Head Kit Key Features

Aluminum Ball Head For Photo Applications

Manfrotto ball heads are known for their smooth control and precise movements. The double 90-degree groove (one on each side of the head) means switching from landscape to portrait is convenient however you're set up.

RC2 Quick Release Camera Plate System

The MK293A3-A0RC2 is equipped with the compact, rectangular 200PL-14 quick release plate system. The compact, rectangular 200PL quick release plate system fits neatly under small-bodied still cameras up to SLR (even with tele lenses) or small medium format, or under small video cameras or spotting scopes. Its rubber pad gives a good grip without damaging the camera, and its angled sides ensure that it also fits perfectly and tightly into a wide range of Manfrotto heads.

Secondary Security Lock
