Manfrotto Befree GT aluminium 4-section tripod, twist leg locks + ball head MKBFRTA4GT-BH

The Manfrotto Befree GT aluminium travel tripod and ball head kit is the ideal answer for professional photographers, who need the best performance even when they are travelling. The Befree GT is the most professional option in Manfrotto's wide travel tripod range. It combines portability perfectly - just 43 cm folded - with impressive stability that keeps the job easy and smooth even with 10 kg of gear on top. Thanks to its ergonomic design the Befree GT is comfortable, fast and secure to use. The new top casting of the Befree GT delivers maximum stability even on uneven ground, so the camera always stays steady and the images stay sharp. The leg lock is Manfrotto's own M-lock, which closes fast and perfectly with a single 90 degree twist. The twist lock design makes the tripod fast and easy to use; the M-lock has no protruding parts and folds neatly around the head, so the Befree GT fits into any bag. The ergonomic leg angle selector is comfortable for right-handed and left-handed photographers alike, so changing perspective is intuitive and never takes your attention off the shot. The legs of the Befree GT set independently to 3 different angles, giving you complete freedom in framing and in bringing creative ideas to life. The top casting also has an Easy Link connector, just like Manfrotto's professional models, the 190 & 055 tripods, so you can mount accessories on the tripod and make your photos special and unique. Attach a light source or a reflector on an arm and you get extra effects on location that used to call for an extra stand. With Manfrotto's 496 aluminium ball head (MH496-BH), this tripod is a portable yet strong and intuitive solution that allows smooth, precise camera movement. This ball head combines practicality with outstanding performance . It has three independent controls that deliver its versatility. The main ergonomic knob operates the ball lock, the built-in friction control knob sets the tension of the ball, so the weight of your rig is always perfectly balanced and the framing is easy to change. An independent panoramic knob holds the horizon and moves the camera horizontally, so you can shoot beautiful landscapes with it. The unique quick release plate is fully compatible with the world's most widespread standards, both the Manfrotto RC2 and the Arca-swiss system. Fit this aluminium plate to the camera and you can use it quickly and easily on every Manfrotto head and on almost any Arca-swiss type head, with no need to swap plates. The Befree GT is the best professional travel tripod on the market for photographers who need top performance even on the road. It is stable, light, easy to use and easy to carry. Also available in a carbon fibre version.
