    Description

    For professionals frequently on the move, seeking a compact yet versatile tripod kit to capture mesmerizing photos and unprecedented video footage, the new Befree GT PRO 3-Way aluminum tripod kit stands out as the ultimate travel companion. Purposefully designed for superior performance and adaptability, it boasts a compact carry-on size of just 43 cm (16.93 inches) when folded. Despite its compact form, this tripod ensures impressive stability when paired with your mirrorless camera, making it an essential tool for those who live to create.

    Today’s cameras are versatile powerhouses, seamlessly blending high-quality photo capabilities with full-frame sensors and 4K video recording. That’s why the Befree GT XPRO aluminum tripod pairs Manfrotto’s trusted Befree 3-Way Live head with the successful Befree GT PRO aluminum tripod legs. It bridges the worlds of photography and videography for those who need and want it all, supporting them in narrowing the gap between their creative vision and daily work – capturing brilliance becomes second nature.

    Designed to achieve ultimate compactness while seamlessly merging the needs of photo and video enthusiasts, the Manfrotto Befree 3-Way Live Head boasts fully foldable handles for unparalleled portability and remarkable sturdiness. With a payload capacity of up to 6kg (13.2lbs), this innovative head ensures a premium experience on the go.

    With this head, achieving precise composition for your frames and videos becomes effortless. How? Thanks to the Fluid Drag System! This high-performing fluid represents the latest in Manfrotto’s fluid head technology, designed to offer the smoothest level of control for tilt and pan movements. Not only that, but it also provides exceptional stability even in extreme temperatures (from -30°C to +70°C). Plus, the long panoramic handle, portrait position, and three bubble levels complete the head, guaranteeing full shooting precision and versatility. Imagine the creative ideas and stunning outdoor shots you can capture.

    Last but not least, the tripod head boasts exceptional versatility, featuring the unique 200PL-PRO plate—a high-quality aluminium masterpiece. This plate seamlessly integrates with both Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-type head attachments. Its two rubber inserts provide unwavering grip, even during challenging angles. Furthermore, the head’s plate-holder accommodates not only the 501PL but also Arca-type video plates. This compatibility ensures perfect balance, even when using longer lenses. In the world of photography, this tripod head stands as a reliable companion, steadfastly supporting your creative vision.

    Experience unparalleled stability on any terrain, even the most uneven, thanks to the robust spider design that keeps your camera rock-steady and poised to capture the sharpest images.

    Step into your creative zone effortlessly. The Befree Levelling Column, a remarkable attribute of this model, simplifies your workflow. With the levelling half ball atop the center column, you have full control over the top plate angle—no more fussing with time-consuming adjustments to tripod legs’ length and angle.

    Smoothly switch shooting perspectives with the ergonomic leg-angle selector on our Befree GT PRO 3-Way aluminium tripod. Whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, finding the perfect tripod height won’t distract you from capturing the shot you want. Plus, the three independent leg angle positions ensure full shooting versatility for all your creative outdoor ideas!

    Adding unique accessories can truly enhance your shots, making all the difference. That’s why our Befree GT PRO 3-Way aluminium tripod boasts the Spider with Easy Link. Photographers who relish adding lights or reflectors can now capture stunning outdoor images that were once achievable only with heavily accessorized tripods.

    For photographers, every moment counts—it could be THE one. Streamline your setup with a tripod that opens effortlessly with a single gesture. The twist lock mechanism, developed by Manfrotto, is your top choice. It’s compact, lightning-fast, and incredibly user-friendly, with no protruding parts—just seamless closure around the head, allowing the Befree GT PRO 3-Way aluminium tripod to slip into and out of its storage pocket effortlessly.

    Befree GT is the best travel tripod collection for all professionals who want maximum performance, even when they’re travelling. With its new, fresh, sleek design featuring the Manfrotto black logo overlay and a hint of Manfrotto’s signature red on the inner leg, it sets you apart as a true professional. It is built to enable photographers to express their uniqueness and to achieve the most daring and exceptional shots using their mirrorless camera with the confidence of being supported by a professional solution that will never let them down. —meticulously designed and proudly Made in Italy.
    The Befree GT PRO 3-Way aluminium tripod kit is also available in carbon fibre.
