Manfrotto Befree Travel Fluid Drag System Professional Video Tripod is the most compact travel video tripod kit, dedicated to hobbyist videographers and vloggers who want maximum performance, even when they are on the go.
The Manfrotto Befree tripod has been specifically designed to maximize compactness and portability with no compromise on sturdiness or image quality. Thanks to its unique mechanism when folded, the tripod only occupies 15.7 inch (40cm) of space, making it the perfect size to fit into hand luggage and backpacks. Carrying it is now easier than ever!
Aluminum Leg Locks ensure long term use even under intensive usage. The leg angle selectors quickly allow you to select between 2 inclinations in order to offer maximum versatility in placing your camera in the right position to take the shot you want.
QPL Travel Lever
The QPL Travel lever, is a brand-new system developed by Manfrotto that brings the full locking power of the professional QPL lever on professional Manfrotto tripods like the 190 & 055 collections, to a more lightweight version that is ideal for traveling. The new on-off mechanism makes set-up and adjustment easy and secure, providing full stability for a perfectly stable video shooting.
Spider Tripod
The Befree features a tripod spider developed to keep cameras perfectly stable on all types of terrain, including the most uneven, always keeping the camera completely steady and ready to capture amazing video footage.
Easy Link
The spider featured on this model also provides an Easy Link. This allows videographers to further spread their creativity by adding accessories that make their footage unique and unforgettable. If you like adding lights or reflectors, you can now catch amazing outdoor footage that was previously only achievable with heavy accessorized tripods.
Befree Live Fluid Head
