Manfrotto 290 Carbon Monopod

The Manfrotto 290 Carbon Monopod is designed for the ultimate professionals looking for a reliable, user-friendly and high-functioning monopod. This must-have monopod offers superior features and total convenience from the set-up straight through to the end of the shoot. 

Apart from making this an easy-to-carry piece of kit, the use of carbon composite means that the legs stay rigid when up, so you won't have to worry about them buckling under pressure, or vibrating when you're working to catch that perfect shot. There are 4 legs to this stand, which can be easily folded down when not in use, and speedily put up when you're starting the shoot. Other great additions include a unique angled wrist strap, giving you extra control of your kit, and a new rubber legwarmer. To combat any signs of wear and tear, the durable, tension-adjustable magnesium leg locks can be tightened as required, extending the stand’s lifespan even further. Getting started is a doddle too. you simply screw the monopod directly onto the tripod mount beneath your camera and adapt it for other gear as required with the handy, universal 6.35mm and 9.5mm attachments.
