The Manfrotto Befree GT kit, consisting of an aluminum travel tripod and ball head, is the ideal solution for professional photographers who need superior performance when traveling. Befree GT is the most advanced professional solution in the wide range of travel tripods from Manfrotto. It is the perfect combination of portability - only 43cm folded - and impressive stability, ensuring effortless handling even with a 10kg load.
Its ergonomic design makes the Manfrotto Befree GT a comfortable, safe 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 GT 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 features a new locking system called M-lock, the new foot-twist lock developed by Manfrotto to fully satisfy all those looking for a compact, quick and easy-to-use solution. Inaddition, the M-Lock has no protruding parts and its mechanism locks perfectly around the head, allowing the Befree Advanced GT to slide in and out of its bag effortlessly.
The ergonomic leg angle selector is designed to be used by both right and left-handed photographers, allowing both to intuitively change shooting perspectives and find the right tripod height without losing focus on the shot they want.
The Befree GT 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 Manfrotto 's advanced 496 aluminum ball head (MH496-BH), a portable yet powerful and intuitive head that allows for fast and precise camera movement. This advanced head combines practicality with high performance and has three independent controls: a main control for ball locking; a built-in friction control that adjusts 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. Framing with the 496 is easier and opens up unlimited options, at any angle we can imagine.
The head mounts a unique hot shoe that makes it fully compatible with the world's most widespread standard head accessories: Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-swiss style. With this aluminum quick release attached to the camera, all Manfrotto and almost all Arca-style heads on the market can be set up quickly and effortlessly.
Befree GT is the ideal professional travel tripod for all photographers who want maximum performance, even when on the road. This rugged, lightweight travel tripod is the optimal combination of sturdiness, portability, ease of set-up and handling. It has been designed to allow photographers to express their creativity and achieve the most daring and exceptional images using their camera with the confidence of a professional support solution that will never let them down. The Befree GT Aluminum travel tripod kit is also available in carbon fiber.
