The Befree GT XPRO Aluminium is the first Manfrotto Travel Tripod developed for professional macro photographers. This aluminium travel tripod seamlessly blends portability and versatility, empowering creative photographers to explore new boundaries. Engineered with ergonomic and intuitive controls, the Befree GT XPRO features a built-in 90-degree column mechanism in its top casting, cleverly stored until needed. This innovative system not only offsets the camera from the tripod's leg position but also provides a straightforward solution for shooting from ground level or directly overhead. The tripod is equipped with Manfrotto's advanced 496 ball head, a portable and robust head offering versatility and a solid load capacity of up to 12kg. Boasting three independent controls, including an ergonomic main knob for ball lock management, an integrated friction control knob ensuring perfect equipment balance, and an independent panoramic knob for horizontal camera movements, the 496 ball head is tailored for practicality and high performance. The M-lock feature enhances the Befree's suitability as a rapid and secure support solution for photographers on the move. The tripod also includes the unique 200PL-PRO plate, featuring a high-quality aluminium body and compatibility with Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-Swiss type head attachments. With two rubber inserts for maximum grip, even in angled shots, this tripod folds to a compact 43cm and fits seamlessly into its dedicated carry bag or any standard hand luggage, ensuring convenience for photographers on the go.
