The Manfrotto Befree Advanced Alpha travel tripod is a special version of the Befree Advanced with lever lock, aimed at all Sony Alpha camera users who wish to achieve maximum performance and stability in all shooting positions.
The hot shoe has been designed to perfectly match the Sony Alpha A7 and Sony Alpha A9* camera bodies, to ensure a perfect grip at any camera angle. The front protrusion of the hot shoe physically locks the camera, preventing any play in both tilt and pan movements, keeping the camera always securely locked to the hot shoe. The result is impressive camera stability, which takes image sharpness to the highest level. The hot shoe is also compatible with the world's most widespread standards: Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-swiss style. With this aluminum hot shoe mounted on the camera, virtually all Manfrotto heads and almost all tripod heads on the market that incorporate the Arca-style system can be quickly and effortlessly adjusted without disassembling components.
Its ergonomic design makes the Manfrotto Befree Advanced an intuitive and fast tripod, allowing the most demanding photographers to quickly and easily set up their equipment so they can put their full attention on capturing the image. The Befree Advanced features a new top structure or 'spider' developed to ensure perfect stability on all types of terrain, including the most uneven, always keeping the camera completely stable and ready to capture sharp images.
This model also features a new lever-based locking mechanism developed by Manfrotto, called QPL Travel; this provides the locking power of the QPL lever system found on professional tripods Manfrotto, such as the 190 & 055 collections, but in a lighter version that is ideal for travel. This new mechanism makes mounting and adjusting the tripod easy and secure, providing complete stability in all configurations when the tripod is deployed.
The ergonomic leg angle selector is designed to be used by both left and right handed photographers, allowing both to intuitively change shooting perspectives and find the correct tripod height without losing focus on the shot they want.
The Befree Advanced can be easily set to three independent leg angle positions, ensuring maximum shooting versatility for all the creative ideas that can arise outdoors.
The 'spider' featured on this innovative model also provides an Easy Link, just like the professional 190 and 055 tripods from Manfrotto, allowing photographers to enhance their creativity by adding accessories that make their shot unique and unforgettable. Photographers who love to add lights or reflectors can now take amazing outdoor shots that previously could only be achieved with tripods with heavy accessories.
The tripod is equipped with the Advanced 494 aluminum ball head from Manfrotto, a small yet powerful and intuitive head that allows for fast and precise camera movement. The 494 ball head has three independent controls: a main knob to control the ball lock; an integrated friction control knob that adjusts the ball tension so that the weight of the rig is always perfectly balanced; an independent pan control that keeps the horizon flat and moves the camera horizontally, allowing for stunning landscape shots.
Befree Advanced for Sony is the best travel tripod for enthusiastic photographers who want to achieve maximum performance with their tripod and above all, with their cameras. This travel travel tripod is the optimal combination of portability, sturdiness and ease of use. It has been designed with the sole purpose of allowing photographers to express their talent using their camera with the confidence of a professional support solution. The Befree Advanced Travel Tripod Kit for Sony Alpha with ball head is available in black.
