The Befree 3-Way Live Advanced is an innovative addition to Manfrotto's popular Befree Advanced tripod range, perfect for travel photography and videography, developed especially for amateur and enthusiast photographers and videographers who want the highest possible performance in a compact package.
The Befree 3-Way Live Advanced is the first tripod kit on the market developed for both photo and video applications. It combines precision and versatility with innovative and exclusive features to help photographers and video artists create premium quality recordings and unleash their creativity.
The kit consists of the new Manfrotto Befree 3-way Live head and the popular Befree Advanced aluminum tripod, covering the needs of use in both high quality photographic applications, including those made with the latest full-frame, high-resolution sensor cameras, as well as video recording at 4K and beyond, in line with current hybrid equipment trends.
The innovative Manfrotto Befree 3-way Live Head, with 3-way format and fluid system, incorporates fully collapsible control levers, for an unprecedented compact size, and stands out for its robustness that allows it to withstand a maximum load of 6kg. This head allows to combine in a single product all the necessary for photo and video applications.
The head integrates the high performance Befree Fluid Drag System, with a high level of control and smoothness, both in pan and tilt movements, making it possible to frame the composition with great precision. The high-performance fluid used guarantees a high level of smoothness in framing control and movements, as well as exceptional stability, even under extreme temperatures (-30°/ +70°). The long pan bar, portrait position and 3 bubble levels guarantee absolute shooting precision and versatility.
This head also incorporates the 200PL-PRO hot shoe, made of high quality aluminum, which is fully compatible with Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-Swiss type mounting systems: it integrates 2 rubber strips to increase grip, even when shooting vertically or at an angle. In addition, the ball head shoe mount is compatible with the 501PL video shoe, to ensure perfect balance, even with long lenses.
Its ergonomic design makes the Manfrotto Befree 3-Way Live Advanced an intuitive and fast tripod, allowing the most demanding users to quickly and easily set up their equipment so they can put all their attention on capturing the image. The new top structure or 'spider' has been 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 and high quality video.
The new lever-based locking mechanismsystem , called QPL Travel, provides easy and secure mounting and adjustment, providing complete stability in all configurations when the tripod is deployed.
The ergonomic leg angle selector is designed for use by both right and left-handed photographers, allowing both to intuitively change shooting perspectives and find the correct tripod height without losing focus on the shot to be captured. The tripod can be easily set to three independent leg angle positions, ensuring maximum shooting versatility for all the creative ideas that may arise wherever the equipment is carried.
The 'spider' featured on this innovative model also provides an Easy Link connector, just like the professional 190 and 055 tripods from Manfrotto, allowing photographers to enhance their creativity by easily adding accessories that make their shot unique and unforgettable. Creative users who want to add lights or reflectors can now take amazing outdoor shots that previously could only be achieved with tripods and heavy accessories.
