Manfrotto have expanded their range of travel tripods with the introduction of the Befree compact tripod.

This lightweight, compact model can easily be packed into luggage thanks to its unique folding mechanism where the legs fold perfectly around the head and quick-release plate attachment into a closed position. Weighing 1.4kg, the Befree weighs less than the average laptop and also comes with a dedicated shoulder bag, protecting it from any accidental damage.

The Befree aluminium support features a new aluminum ball head and leg locks, plus the tripod has a maximum payload of 4kg and the new patented leg angle selectors quickly allow you to select between two inclinations.

The Manfrotto Befree tripod will retail at £174.95. Visit the Manfrotto website for more information.
