Portable and lightweight like the other entries in the Manfrotto Befree range, this Befree Advanced lever tripod provides enthusiast photographers with the stability and performance that they crave, even when they need to keep their kit lightweight and compact. A newly designed lever lock system allows for this handy over-achiever to be set up with no time wasted, so you can fire away and not miss a second of the action. Sitting at the top of this rugged tripod is a versatile ballhead, with 3 ergonomic adjustment knobs available - 1 for friction control, 1 for panoramic movement and 1 for managing the sphere lock. With this handy little ballhead, compositional changes can be made at lightning pace. Perfect for a life of travel, the Befree Advanced folds down to 40cm and weighs just 1590 grams. Despite this compact feature set, this tripod does not feel like a sacrifice when you are out shooting, opening right up to an extended height of 151cm and possessing 3 legs that can be set to 3 independent angles, allowing your creative mind to roam free when composing your images. Adding to the convenience and fast-pace nature of this tripod, a side-pull selector allows these leg angle changes to be performed quickly and efficiently. This particular version of the Manfrotto Advanced Lever tripod, is specifically designed for use with select Sony A7 and A9 bodies. The plate has been constructed to provide the most stable performance when using these bodies, even at more intricate shooting angles.
