Manfrotto Befree Advanced Travel Aluminum Tripod with 494 Ball Head (Lever Locks, Black)

The Befree Advanced Travel Tripod from Manfrotto is a robust and versatile support option that can serve as a convenient travel companion for both professional photographers and passionate hobbyists. Crafted from durable aluminum alloy, this tripod can extend to a maximum height of 59.1" with its column fully extended, and folds down to a compact 15.7" length for easy transport in the included carrying case.

Each leg of the Befree Advanced is composed of four adjustable sections, which can be securely locked into place using the QPL lever locks found on all segments. The tripod's side-pull selector allows users to set up the tripod in three different angle configurations, enabling low-angle shooting with the simple push of a button. Complementing the sturdy legs is an equally robust center ball head, which features a dedicated knob for panoramic movement and a friction control knob for precise control over the tension during use.

The Befree Advanced's quick release plate offers dual compatibility for both RC2 and Arca-type compatible systems, with the exception of the Manfrotto 804-3W and MH804-3W tripod heads. An Easy Link attachment at the top of the leg section allows users to connect compatible accessories, such as flashes or reflectors, enabling the tripod to serve as a versatile support system and reducing the amount of gear needed while travelling.

To ensure stability on various terrains, the tripod is equipped with rubberized feet that help prevent skidding. Additionally, an integrated hook at the bottom of the tripod can be used to add weight, further increasing the stability of the system when shooting in more challenging conditions.

Included with the Befree Advanced is an extra ZAYKiR 200PLPRO Plate, providing users with an additional quick release plate for their convenience. The ball head features separate pan lock and friction control knobs, allowing for precise adjustments during use.

In summary, the Befree Advanced Travel Tripod from Manfrotto is a robust and versatile support system that caters to the needs of both professional photographers and passionate hobbyists alike. Its compact design, adjustable legs, and compatibility with a wide range of accessories make it an ideal travel companion for capturing stunning images in various environments.
