Manfrotto MKELMII4RD-BH Element MII 4-section aluminium statief met balhoofd, rood

The Manfrotto Element MII MKELMII4RD-BH redefines travel tripod expectations by pairing a remarkably compact 42.5 cm folded length with a full 160 cm maximum height and an impressive 8 kg payload—a combination rarely found in a 4-section aluminum support. Finished in a bold red, this tripod includes a detachable leg that converts into a full-size monopod, giving photographers two supports in one without extra bulk.

Highlights

• Lightweight aluminum construction with twist locks for fast, secure setup
• Ball head with independent pan lock and Arca-Swiss compatible 200PL-PRO quick release plate
• One leg detaches to become a monopod—no tools required
• Two leg angle positions (23° and 50°) for low-angle shots and stability on uneven ground
• Built-in spirit level for precise framing; includes mobile phone clamp and padded carrying bag

In daily use

From city walks to mountain trails, the Element MII adapts quickly. Twist the leg locks to extend all four sections in seconds, then fine-tune composition with the smooth ball head. The independent pan lock lets you shoot panoramas without disturbing tilt, while the rapid center column adds extra height when needed. When you want to travel light, detach one leg and attach the included phone clamp—within moments you have a monopod for vlogging or live streaming.
