Manfrotto Befree GT Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod w/ 496 Ball Head (Black)

Are you a professional photographer in need of a reliable travel tripod that can provide superior performance in the most lightweight format? If so, the Manfrotto Befree GT Carbon Travel Tripod and Ball Head Kit might be just what you need. This tripod is the most advanced solution in Manfrotto’s range of travel tripods, offering exceptional portability and impressive stability. When folded, the tripod measures only 43cm/16.93in, making it easy to carry with you on your travels, yet it can support an equipment load of up to 12kg/26.45lbs.

The ergonomic design of the Manfrotto Befree GT ensures effortless operation, even for the most demanding photographers. With this tripod, you can set up your equipment quickly and easily, so you can focus on capturing the perfect shot. The new solid spider of the Befree GT is developed to ensure maximum stability on all types of terrain, including the most uneven ones, always keeping your camera steady and ready to capture the sharpest images.

The tripod features the M-lock, a new twist lock developed by Manfrotto to provide a fast, easy to use, and compact solution. The M-lock has no protruding parts, and its mechanism closes perfectly around the head, allowing the Befree GT to slip into and out of its storage pocket effortlessly.

The Manfrotto Befree GT also comes with an ergonomic leg-angle selector, which can be used smoothly by both right and left-handed photographers. This feature enables everyone to change shooting perspectives intuitively and find the right tripod setting without losing focus on the shot they want. The tripod 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 of the innovative Befree GT model also has an 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. This feature means that you can add lights or reflectors, allowing you to capture amazing outdoor shots that were previously only achievable with heavy accessorised tripods.

The Manfrotto Befree GT comes with Manfrotto’s advanced 496 aluminium Centre ball head (MH496-BH), a portable yet powerful and intuitive head that allows smooth and precise camera movement. This advanced ball head combines practicality with high performance and features three independent controls that give it the versatility to suit any environment.

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.

If you are looking for a professional travel tripod that provides maximum performance, even when you are travelling, the Manfrotto Befree GT is the perfect choice. This sturdy yet lightweight travel tripod is the optimal combination of solidity, portability, easy set up, and operation. It is built to allow photographers to express their individuality and achieve the most daring and exceptional shots using their camera with the confidence of being supported by a professional solution that will never let them down.
