Manfrotto MH293D3-Q2 3-way photo head

The Manfrotto MH293D3-Q2 is an ultra-compact 3-way photo head with innovative foldable handles that shrink the head to pocketable size when closed. Made from lightweight Adapto polymer, it supports up to 4 kg, features three bubble levels, independent axis control, and includes a 200PL-14 quick-release plate, making it the perfect precise yet portable head for the 290 series tripods.

This clever, modern 3-way pan-tilt head is designed for photographers who refuse to compromise between framing precision and portability. Its patented foldable handles collapse flush against the head body, reducing packed size by over 40% compared to traditional 3-way heads, ideal for travel and hiking. Built from high-strength Adapto technopolymer, it weighs just 570 g yet safely supports 4 kg. Each axis offers independent movement with +90/-30 front and lateral tilt plus full 360° panoramic rotation.
