Manfrotto NGPT002 National Geographic Large Photo Tripod

The Manfrotto NGPT002 National Geographic Large Photo Tripod is a 988 g, 3-section aluminum kit that folds to 61 cm, extends to 1.6 m, and supports 3 kg with a geared center column, 3-way pan/tilt head, proprietary QR plate, flip locks, spirit level, 90 portrait tilt, smartphone clamp, and carry case, perfect for DSLR, mirrorless, or phone setups.

This tripod blends rugged explorer aesthetics with practical performance in a sub-1 kg package. Three flip-lock legs deploy smoothly to 1.6 m via a crank-driven geared center column, while a mid-level spreader and ballast hook ensure rock-solid stability. The 3-way pan/tilt head offers independent pan, tilt, and 90 portrait rotation with a built-in bubble level for precision. A proprietary quick-release plate (1/4-20) plus an included smartphone clamp (up to 8.4 cm wide) accommodate cameras or phones. At 61 cm folded and 988 g, it's the ideal all-in-one solution for landscape, wildlife, or vlogging adventures, complete with a padded carry case.
