Manfrotto Befree Advanced AS Lever Aluminium Tripod
Our innovative camera head, equipped with a built-in Arca-type compatible plate holder, works flawlessly with the 200PL-PRO plate and other Arca-type attachments. Whether you’re using an L bracket, a camera cage, or a telephoto lens collar mount, this system allows for direct, fuss-free camera mounting. No more grappling with cumbersome quick-release mechanisms—the streamlined design enables effortless, smooth attachment, making it the go-to choice for photographers who need to stay on the move and capture the action as it unfolds.
With a focus on quick, precise adjustments, the Befree Advanced AS tripod allows you to concentrate on framing your shot. Its ergonomic design ensures that setting up and operating the tripod is intuitive and speedy, even for the most discerning photographers. Uneven terrain? No problem at all. The robust top spider guarantees that your camera remains steady, whether you’re perched on a rocky hillside or standing on a sandy beach.
For photographers who demand the sturdiness of a professional tripod in a lightweight form, this tripod, featuring a lever lock mechanism, is an impeccable choice. The simple open-and-close mechanism offers a secure setup and precise adjustments, enabling you to fine-tune the leg length with ease.
Switching shooting perspectives has never been smoother, thanks to the ergonomic leg-angle selector. Whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, adjusting the tripod height is a breeze, allowing you to stay focused on capturing that perfect shot. The three independent leg angle positions provide full shooting versatility, letting your creative ideas take flight in any outdoor setting.
Looking to elevate your photography with unique accessories? The Spider with Easy Link is your answer. This feature allows photographers to attach lights or reflectors, enabling the capture of stunning outdoor images that once required heavily accessorised tripods.
The tripod also comes equipped with Manfrotto’s Advanced 494 aluminium Centre Ball Head—a compact, powerful, and intuitive head that allows for swift and precise camera movement. It features three independent knobs for ultimate control: a main knob for sphere lock management, an integrated friction control knob that perfectly balances your equipment weight, and an independent panoramic knob that maintains a level horizon while rotating the camera horizontally. With this trio, capturing breath taking landscapes becomes second nature.
The Befree Advanced tripod collection goes beyond mere technical specifications; it’s a tool that sparks your creativity. With its sleek, modern design featuring the iconic Manfrotto black logo and a touch of the signature red on the inner leg, this tripod sets you apart as a true specialist. Crafted for passionate photographers who demand exceptional performance on the go, it’s your gateway to creative expression. Meticulously designed and proudly Made in Italy, this tripod empowers you to capture extraordinary shots with unwavering confidence.
