Manfrotto has introduced a Top Lock Travel Quick Release Adaptor that's compatible with the 494, 496 and 498 ball heads from the Befree range as well as all Arca type camera plates and L-brackets.

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

The Top Lock Travel Quick Release Adaptor is designed to allow the Befree legs to fold around the head for easy transportation and on the adaptor, you'll find a two-axis bubble level as well as an ergonomic side knob that locks the plate in place. 

Perfect with the 200PL-PRO plate that comes with the Befree Advanced/GT ranges and Ball Heads, the Top Lock Travel Adaptor removes the need to buy a new plate for compatibility.

To replace the RC2 plate holder with the new adaptor, unscrew the plate holder of the head with the provided Allen wrench, replace it with the adaptor and use the existing screw to fix the adaptor to the head.

The Top Lock Travel Quick Release Adaptor is priced at £34.95 on the Manfrotto website.
