Manfrotto Befree Advanced Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with 494 Ball Head | Twist Locks, Black

The Manfrotto Befree Advanced Travel Tripod, with a load capacity of 17.6 lbs and a weight of just 2.8 lbs, presents a durable support solution ideal for both professional photographers and enthusiastic hobbyists. Constructed from carbon fiber, this tripod can achieve a maximum height of 59.1 inches when the column is fully extended (50 inches when the column is retracted) and has a compact folded length of 16.1 inches, making it easy to transport in the included carrying case.

Each leg of the Befree Advanced features four sections that can be quickly adjusted and locked into place using M-lock twist locks, which require only a 90° turn for operation. A side-pull selector allows for three different angle settings, facilitating low-angle photography with a simple button press. The tripod is equipped with a robust center ball head that includes a dedicated knob for panoramic adjustments and a friction control knob for fine-tuning tension during use. Additionally, it comes with a quick release plate that is compatible with both RC2 and Arca-type systems, excluding the Manfrotto 804-3W and MH804-3W tripod heads.

At the top of the leg section, an Easy Link attachment is provided, enabling the connection of compatible accessories such as flashes or reflectors. This feature allows the tripod to function as a versatile support system, minimizing the amount of equipment needed while traveling. Furthermore, rubberized feet are incorporated to prevent slipping and enhance stability across various terrains.
