The black 290 Light 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod with Befree Live Fluid Video Head Kit from Manfrotto is a lightweight and portable system suitable for vloggers and mobile journalists. The Befree Live Fluid Head has a dedicated sliding plate to balance camcorders, DSLRs, or mirrorless cameras with video capabilities. The system supports payloads up to 8.82 lb and weighs just 4 lb, providing better control on your movements during video shoots. A fluid drag system allows for smooth pan and tilt movements.

The tripod features top-casted aluminum tube legs with locking levers for rigidity and system stability, and rubber leg warmers for a firm grip. It provides flexible shooting options by adjusting the two leg angles and leveling with the center column.
