Product overview
Manfrotto Befree GT PRO Sony α carbon fibre tripod is a special version of the Befree GT PRO carbon dedicated to all Sony α camera users who want maximum performance and stability in all shooting positions.
The camera quick release plate is designed to match Sony α camera bodies*, to ensure perfect grip, even in the most angled camera shots. The front jut of the plate physically blocks the camera, preventing any play both on tilt and rotational movements, always keeping the camera stuck to the head plate. The result is impressive camera stability, which takes image sharpness to the highest level.
The plate attaches to the head using the world’s most popular professional quick-release plate system, the Manfrotto RC2. This system is fast and easy to use, featuring a built-in safety lock. The plate is also compatible with the Arca-type mounting system, making it versatile for other mounting needs. With this unique aluminum plate attached to the camera, all Manfrotto heads** and nearly all tripod heads on the market can be mounted quickly and effortlessly, eliminating the need for disassembly.
Befree GT PRO Sony α carbon fibre tripod is dedicated to professional photographers who need superior performance in the most lightweight format. It’s the most professionally advanced solution in Manfrotto’s wide range of travel tripods. It is the perfect combination of portability - only 43cm/16.93in when folded - and impressive stability, ensuring flawless and effortless operation even with a 10kg/22.03lbs equipment load.
Its ergonomic design makes operating the Manfrotto Befree GT PRO Sony α carbon fibre tripod comfortable, fast and secure, enabling even the most demanding photographers to set their equipment up quickly and easily, so their focus stays on catching the perfect shot.
The spider is developed to ensure maximum stability on all types of terrain, including the most uneven ones, always keeping the camera completely steady and ready to capture the sharpest images. The spider featured on this innovative model also has an Easy Link, just like Manfrotto’s professional 190 & 055 tripods, allowing photographers to enhance their creativity by adding accessories that make their images unique and unforgettable. If you like, adding lights or reflectors, you can now capture amazing outdoor shots that were previously only achievable with heavy accessorised tripods.
It features the popular twist lock, designed and developed by Manfrotto to satisfy anyone looking for a fast, easy to use, compact solution. Moreover, the twist lock has no protruding parts and its mechanism closes perfectly around the head, enabling the Befree GT PRO Sony α carbon fibre tripod to slip in and out of its storage pocket effortlessly.
Its leg-angle selector is designed to be used smoothly by both right and left-handed photographers, enabling everyone to change shooting perspectives intuitively and to find the right tripod setting without losing focus on the shot they want. The kit can easily be set to three independent leg angle positions, guaranteeing full shooting versatility for all the creative ideas that can emerge outdoors.
This tripod is kitted out with Manfrotto’s Advanced 496 aluminium Centre ball head (MH496-BH) , a portable yet powerful and intuitive head that allows smooth and precise camera movement. This advanced ball head combines practicality with high performance and features three independent controls that give it the versatility to suit any environment. A main ergonomic knob manages the sphere lock, an integrated friction control knob adjusts the ball tension so that equipment weight is always perfectly balanced and shots framed effortlessly; an independent panoramic knob keeps the horizon flat and moves the camera horizontally, enabling astonishing landscape shots. Framing on the 496 is easier and opens limitless options, so you can pursue any angle you can think of.
Befree GT is the best professional travel tripod collection for all photographers who want maximum performance both from their tripod and, above all, from their α cameras from Sony. This sturdy yet lightweight travel tripod is the optimal combination of solidity, portability, easy set up and operation. It is built to allow photographers to express their individuality and achieve the most daring and exceptional shots using their camera with the confidence of being supported by a professional solution that will never let them down.
