The Manfrotto Befree Advanced Travel Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head (Lever Locks, Black) includes a Manfrotto 494 Aluminum Center Ball Head with 200PL-PRO Quick Release Plate and a Manfrotto Tripod Bag Padded Befree Advanced (Black)
Sporting an 8kg load capacity at a weight of only 1.6kgs, the Manfrotto Befree Advanced Travel Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head (Lever Locks, Black) is a robust support option that can serve as a convenient travel companion for professional photographers and passionate hobbyists alike. It features a full aluminium-alloy construction and reaches a maximum height of 150cm with its column extended, folding down to 40cm in length for simplified transport in its included carrying case.
Each leg of the Befree Advanced is composed of four sections, which can be adjusted and securely locked into place with the QPL lever locks found on all segments. A side-pull selector allows you to set up the tripod at three different angle configurations, enabling low angle shooting with the simple push of a button. Complementing the legs is an equally sturdy centre ball head, which offers a dedicated knob for panoramic movement as well as a friction control knob for precise control over the tension during use. The final element is a quick release plate, which offers dual compatibility for RC2 and Arca-type compatible systems, except for the Manfrotto 804-3W and MH804-3W tripod heads.
An Easy Link attachment is available at the top portion of the leg section and allows you to connect compatible accessories such as flashes or reflectors. This enables you to use the tripod as a support system and reduce the amount of gear you need to carry while travelling. Rubberized feet are used to avoid skidding and help keep the Befree Advanced stable in most types of terrain. Finally, an integrated hook found at the bottom can be used to add weight and increase the stability of your tripod when shooting in more difficult conditions.
This Manfrotto 494 Center Ball Head features an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a 200PL-PRO Quick Release Plate. Compatible quick release plates can be removed from the head by pulling the cam lock's spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be instantly reattached. The cam lock also features a safety catch to prevent a compatible quick release plate from accidentally disconnecting.
The 494 Center Ball Head with 200PL-PRO Quick Release Plate has a load capacity of 8 kg and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. By loosening the head's primary locking knob, the ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swivelled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. A recessed dial set within that locking knob can be rotated to apply tension control to the ball-and-socket joint's movements. Along the opposite side of the ball head, a secondary locking knob controls the ability to rotate the head 360°.
Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the 200PL-PRO quick release plate, as well as 3/8"-16 threads via an included bushing adapter. The plate is also compatible with separately available tripod heads that feature an Arca-type clamp.
Store, protect, and transport your Befree Advanced Travel Tripod with the black Manfrotto Tripod Bag. This bag is can be used as a spare or replacement for the bag that came with your Befree Advanced Travel Tripod. It may also work with other similar sized tripods and stands. Photographer will appreciate the zipper closure and padded shoulder strap.
