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.

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.
