Manfrotto Befree Advanced carbon fibre travel tripod, twist leg locks + ball head MKBFRTC4-BH

The Manfrotto Befree Advanced carbon travel tripod and ball head kit is the ideal solution for enthusiast photographers, who need a super light tripod and the best possible performance even when they are travelling. The carbon fibre legs keep the weight of the tripod as low as possible, while it stays unbeatable in stability and rigidity. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the carbon Befree Advanced is comfortable, fast and safe to use. The new top casting of the Befree Advanced carbon fibre tripod is made of magnesium and gives maximum stability even on uneven ground, so the camera always stays steady and the shots stay sharp. Its leg lock is Manfrotto's own M-lock, which closes quickly and completely with a single 90-degree twist. Thanks to the twist lock design the tripod is fast and easy to use; the M-lock has no protruding parts and folds perfectly around the head, so the Befree Advanced fits into any bag. The ergonomic leg angle selector is comfortable for right- and left-handed photographers alike, so changing perspective is intuitive and never takes your attention away from shooting. The legs of the carbon Befree Advanced can be set independently to 3 different angles, giving you complete freedom in composition and in realising creative ideas. The light magnesium top casting also has an Easy Link connector, just like Manfrotto's professional models, the 190 & 055 tripods, so accessories can be mounted on the tripod to make your photos special and unique. A light source or a reflector can be attached to the tripod with arms, so you can create extra effects on outdoor shoots that used to be possible only with a second stand. With the Manfrotto 494 aluminium centre ball head (MH494-BH) this tripod is a small yet strong and intuitive solution that allows smooth and precise camera movement. The 494 has three independent controls that provide its versatility. The main ergonomic knob operates the ball lock, the integrated friction control knob sets the tension of the ball, so the weight of the gear is always perfectly balanced and the composition is easy to change. An independent panoramic knob keeps the horizon level and moves the camera horizontally, so you can shoot wonderful landscapes with it. The unique quick release plate is fully compatible with the most widespread standards in the world, both the Manfrotto RC2 and the Arca-swiss system. Once this aluminium plate is fitted to the camera, you can use the camera quickly and easily on every Manfrotto head and on almost every Arca-swiss type head, with nothing to swap over. The carbon Befree Advanced is the "top choice" among travel tripods for enthusiast photographers: the lightest tripod with unbeatable performance. Stable, light, easy to use and easy to take with you.
