The Manfrotto 294 3-Section Aluminum Tripod is a steadfast support for a DSLR or other camera, with high-quality aluminum leg tubes and top casting. With its three leg sections and center column fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 66.5". Its load capacity of 11 lb makes it a good choice for larger cameras.

The 3-section 294 tripod's universal 3/8"-16 stud makes it ready to attach to most photography heads. An anti-shock collar protects your camera from accidental impact when the center column is retracted quickly.

    Comments about Manfrotto 294 3-Section Aluminum Tripod:

    So it was time to get a "grown-up" tripod, as the box store bought one i had been using for my DSLR just wasn't cutting it and after much research, i settled on Manfrotto's 290 series and the 294 in particular. It is a bit on the heavy side, but it is sturdy and opens up to a height where i don't have to bend over to see through my view-finder (unless i want to). Overall, this is a good solid, well built peice of equipment that i'm sure to have for years to come.

      Comments about Manfrotto 294 3-Section Aluminum Tripod:

      Weekend hobbyist who shoots is many environments. Good steady tripod for my Canon 7D. Construction is solid and workmanship is the quality I would expect from Manfrotto. Not too heavy to carry around all day. Very pleased with the purchase.
