This versatile head seamlessly accommodates the 200PL-PRO plate and other Arca-type attachments, allowing you to attach any mirrorless camera directly.

Ideal for run-and-gun photographers, it ensures your camera is always ready for action.
For those who demand the best, the Befree Advanced AS twist carbon fibre tripod delivers. Crafted from high-quality carbon fibre, the legs are engineered to minimise weight while maintaining exceptional stability and rigidity. The ergonomic design guarantees an intuitive and swift setup, even for the most demanding of photographers.
No terrain is too challenging for this tripod. Its top spider, constructed from lightweight yet sturdy magnesium, provides unwavering stability on any surface, whether you’re shooting on a rocky hillside or a sandy beach. Your camera will remain rock-steady, ensuring crisp, sharp images no matter where your adventures take you.
Need a tripod that’s ready in an instant? The twist lock mechanism is a game-changer. Developed by Manfrotto, this mechanism is compact, lightning-fast, and incredibly easy to use. With no protruding parts, it offers seamless closure around the head, making it effortless to slip the Befree Advanced tripod into and out of its storage pocket.
Switching shooting perspectives is a breeze with the ergonomic leg-angle selector. Whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, adjusting the tripod height won’t take your focus away from capturing the perfect shot. The three independent leg angle positions provide complete shooting versatility, enabling you to bring your creative outdoor ideas to life.
For those looking to enhance their shots with unique accessories, the Spider with Easy Link is the answer. It allows you to add lights or reflectors, making it possible to capture stunning outdoor images that previously required heavily accessorised tripods.
And there’s more: the Befree Advanced AS twist carbon fibre tripod is your silent partner in the art of composition. Outfitted with Manfrotto’s Advanced 494 aluminium Centre Ball Head, this compact yet powerful head allows for quick and precise camera movement. It features three independent knobs for ultimate control: a main knob for managing the sphere lock, an integrated friction control knob that ensures your equipment is perfectly balanced, and an independent panoramic knob that keeps the camera level steady while allowing smooth horizontal rotation. With this trio, breath taking landscape shots come effortlessly.
The Befree Advanced tripod collection goes beyond mere technical specifications; it’s a tool designed to ignite your creativity. With its sleek design featuring the Manfrotto black logo overlay and a touch of Manfrotto’s signature red on the inner leg, this tripod distinguishes you as a true specialist.
