The Manfrotto Befree Advanced Aluminium Travel Tripod is the ideal solution for advanced hobbyist photographers who always want maximum performance, including when they’re travelling. It’s safety payload weight of 8kg means that it’s also a great option for supporting binoculars and spotting scopes.

The ergonomic design makes operating your Manfrotto Befree advanced tripod intuitive and fast, allowing you to set up your equipment quickly and easily so you never miss out on the action.

Your Befree advanced tripod features a new spider developed to ensure perfect stability on all types of terrain, always keeping your camera or sports optics completely steady and ready to capture or view sharp images. 

This model introduces a new locking system called the M-lock, the new twist lock developed by Manfrotto to fully satisfy everyone looking for a fast, easy to use, compact solution. Moreover, the M-Lock has no protruding parts and its mechanism closes perfectly around the head, making it easy to slip your tripod in and out of its storage pocket effortlessly. 

Its ergonomic leg-angle selector is designed to be used by both right and left-handed users, enabling everyone to change shooting perspectives intuitively and to find the right tripod height without losing focus on the shot they want. 

The Befree advanced can easily be set to three independent leg angle positions, guaranteeing full shooting versatility for all the creative ideas that can emerge outdoors.

The spider featured on this innovative model also provides the Easy Link, just like Manfrotto’s professional 190 & 055 tripods, allowing photographers to enhance their creativity by adding accessories that make their images unique and unforgettable. If you like adding lights or reflectors, you can now capture amazing outdoor shots that were previously only achievable with heavy accessorised tripods.

The tripod is kitted out with Manfrotto’s Advanced 494 aluminium centre ball head, a small but powerful and intuitive head that allows quick and precise camera movement. The 494 centre ball head features three independent controls: a main knob for managing the sphere lock, an integrated friction control knob that adjusts the ball tension so that equipment weight is always perfectly balanced and shots framed effortlessly; an independent panoramic knob that keeps the horizon flat and moves the camera horizontally, enabling astonishing landscape shots.

The head mounts a unique plate that makes it fully compatible with the world’s most widespread standard head attachments: Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-swiss style. With this aluminium plate fixed to the camera, all Manfrotto heads and almost all tripod heads on the market featuring Arca-swiss style attachments can be set up rapidly and effortlessly, with no need for disassembly components.
