With the rise in popularity of mirrorless cameras and the increasing demand for high-performance, portable equipment, Manfrotto is meeting the needs of professional photographers and hybrid creators with the launch of these new Befree models. The three new tripods are added to its popular Befree line which, the company claims, is already the lightweight tripod family of choice for Pro creators using the latest mirrorless cameras.
The three new models for professionals looking for performance on-the-go include an Arca-compatible model, hybrid model suited to both photo and video and a standalone tripod that can be paired with a head of choice. Behind those new products is Manfrotto’s 50 years of experience as manufacturer of professional photography, video, and cinema production equipment.
Packed with features, carry-on size, these super compact travel companions are ready for the road with the performance and versatility for any shot, in every location. Expanding the existing product range, the new additions offer, Manfrotto says, “a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology and exceptional performance, positioning them as the must have travel companion to ensure the best shots of any travel experience.”
Catering to different scenarios and offering solutions for professionals working in various contexts – whether it is capturing captivating images on-the-go or creating high quality video content, the new Befree tripods provide the precision and reliability required by today’s travel professionals.
Designed to provide the best-in-class solutions for photographers and creators seeking enhanced creativity and functional design in a lightweight package, the new models are available in both aluminium and carbon fibre, providing options for users who value durability and lightweight constructions.
