Manfrotto Telephoto Lens Support

The Manfrotto 293 Telephoto Lens Support is a 698 g aluminum bracket (200–295 mm adjustable) with 234RC tilt head, four 3/8" and three 1/4" female threads, and 2.5 kg payload—delivering rock-solid, customizable balance for medium telephoto lenses on monopods or tripods.

The Manfrotto 293 Lens Support pairs with a monopod or tripod to offload weight from the camera body, preventing front-heavy tipping with 70-200 mm f/2.8 or 100-400 mm lenses. The aluminum rail slides from 200 to 295 mm via quick-lock knobs, while the included 234RC swivel-tilt head (1/4"-20 screw) adjusts vertically and horizontally to cradle any barrel diameter. Seven threaded ports (4× 3/8", 3× 1/4") accept QR plates, straps, or accessories. At 698 g, it’s the perfect lightweight solution for sports, wildlife, or event photographers needing sharp, stable long-lens work without strain.
