In order to meet the increasing demand for lightweight tripod systems, Manfrotto has designed and manufactured the Befree Live Tripod Kit, which provides everything that traveling videographers need to achieve that added smoothness and stability in their footage. The kit includes the new Befree Live Fluid Head, which features a fluid drag system for smooth pan and tilt movements, as well as two intuitive on/off knobs for locking and unlocking your camera’s position and a video sliding plate to help keep bulky camera rigs balanced. The included aluminum tripod weighs only 3.86 pounds, yet it can support camera loads of up to 8.8 pounds. It can be folded down to 15.75 inches (which is also its minimum working height), so it can fit easily into backpacks and carry-on luggage. If you need to shoot at higher angles, it has a maximum working height of 59.45 inches when the center column is extended, plus it has leg angle selectors and a leveling column for convenience and added versatility in camera positioning. Both the fluid head and tripod ensure quick and easy setup, and can be safely stored and transported using the included carrying bag.
Overcome the challenges of on-the-go videography with the Befree Live 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with Fluid Video Head. This compact, high-quality travel tripod is designed with the mobile videographer in mind, offering a lightweight and durable solution for capturing smooth, stable footage with DSLRs, compact system cameras, and small camcorders.
Constructed from sturdy aluminum, this tripod is not only robust but also lightweight, making it an ideal companion for photographers and videographers who are always on the move. Its unique 4-section design offers enhanced adjustability and flexibility, allowing for a wide range of camera positions and angles.
The Befree Live Tripod stands out with its innovative folding mechanism. The legs fold perfectly around the head and the sliding plate attachment, resulting in a compact form that's only 40cm long when closed. This feature, combined with its minimal design, makes it easy to fit into carry-on luggage and backpacks, ensuring you never have to leave your essential gear behind.
Despite its compact size, the Befree Live Tripod doesn't compromise on performance. It features a new Befree Live Fluid Head, equipped with a fluid drag system on pan and tilt, which ensures very smooth movements and keeps your camera perfectly balanced. The video sliding plate further enhances stability, even when using larger equipment or longer-zoom lenses.
Ease of use is another key feature of this tripod. The Befree Live Fluid Head comes with two intuitive on/off knobs that separately lock and unlock the head pan and tilt movements. Plus, with an impressive payload of up to 4kg, you can trust this tripod to provide reliable support for your equipment.
The Befree Live Tripod also boasts patented leg angle selectors, allowing you to quickly switch between two positions for maximum versatility. Combined with the leveling column, this feature offers unparalleled flexibility for camera positioning and leveling.
In summary, the Befree Live 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with Fluid Video Head is a versatile, reliable, and high-quality tool that meets the demands of modern videographers, offering superior stability, flexibility, and portability.
