Manfrotto Befree Advanced AS Twist Aluminium Tripod
Seize every moment with our new camera head, which boasts a built-in Arca-type compatible plate holder that integrates seamlessly with the Manfrotto RC2 mounting system. This innovative design allows you to attach any mirrorless camera directly, whether you require an L bracket, a camera cage, or a telephoto lens collar mount. Say goodbye to the hassle of tricky quick-release mechanisms—the new system offers smooth, direct camera mounting, making it the perfect choice for run-and-gun photographers who need to stay on top of the action.
Crafted for quick adjustments, this tripod allows you to focus solely on framing your shot. No unnecessary fuss, no wasted time—just pure readiness. The ergonomic design makes setting up and operating the tripod intuitive and fast, even for the most discerning photographers.
Challenging terrain? Not an issue. The robust top spider ensures that your camera remains steady, whether you're on a rocky hillside or a sandy beach.
If you desire a tripod that opens in an instant with a single motion, the twist lock mechanism is your answer. Developed by Manfrotto, this compact and lightning-fast system is super easy to use, with no protruding parts—just a seamless closure around the head. This makes slipping the Befree Advanced tripod in and out of its storage pocket an effortless task.
Easily switch between shooting perspectives with the ergonomic leg-angle selector on our Befree Advanced AS twist aluminium tripod. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, adjusting the tripod to the perfect height won't distract you from capturing that critical shot. With three independent leg angle positions, this tripod offers full shooting versatility, making it ideal for all your creative outdoor endeavours.
For those looking to elevate their photography with unique accessories, the Spider with Easy Link is a game-changer. Photographers who love adding lights or reflectors can now achieve stunning outdoor images that were once only possible with heavily accessorised tripods.
But there's more: Meet your silent partner in the art of composition. The tripod comes equipped with Manfrotto's Advanced 494 aluminium Centre Ball Head—a compact yet powerful and intuitive head that allows for quick and precise camera movement. The ball head features three independent knobs for ultimate control: a main knob for managing the sphere lock, an integrated friction control knob to adjust ball tension, ensuring your equipment is always perfectly balanced, and an independent panoramic knob that keeps the camera level and allows for smooth horizontal rotation. With this harmonious trio, breathtaking landscape shots come to life effortlessly.
The Befree Advanced tripod collection is more than just a set of specifications; it's a tool that ignites your creative spirit. With a sleek, modern design featuring the Manfrotto black logo overlay and a touch of Manfrotto's signature red on the inner leg, this tripod sets you apart as a true specialist.
