[MUSIC PLAYING] Today we're going to take a look at the 294 kit from Manfrotto and here it is. It's the most robust system in the 290 series. It's all aluminum, made in Italy, the whole system here. And let's just take a look first at the three section tripod itself has quick release, so we can just go ahead and quick release those legs, fully extend those and go ahead and bring those back in. Or we can just quick release one single stage if we want to very, very easily. We'll put that back on the table. Now there are little latches here at the top of the system and if I just take this leg in, I can adjust those latches. I can fully extend this out so I can get extremely low shots about 20, 21 inches off of the ground. And that's really, really fantastic when using this. I'm going to put those back to their original position. Take those latches, flip them over again, put this system down, and then we're going to go ahead and take a look at this three way head here. Now as with all of the systems that Manfrotto makes in this series, our head has a quick release plate. I have that attached right now to my camera. I'm just going to go ahead and pop that on, lock it down, and take a look at that right there. We have full adjustability on this head here. Now also, as part of the actual tripod, I have an adjustable column. If I extend out all the way up and extend the legs all the way up in this configuration, we're getting up to about 70, 71 inches off of the ground. Payload capacity, about 11 pounds with this system. So really, really flexible. Now one other thing, this center column here is reversible. So we want to use this system for things like macro work. And even when we get those legs all the way down, if we want to do some really, really low angle shots, we can reverse this and with the three way head that makes it very, very simple. So here we have the center column reversed. Great for macro work. We're also taking the tripod itself, these two legs are in the first position, this one's in the second. Gives us maximum flexibility when we're shooting with this system. Tons and tons of stuff that we can do with the 294 kit from Manfrotto. [MUSIC PLAYING]
