Designed for the Sony Alpha camera range, the Befree 3-Way Live Advanced is an innovative model in Manfrotto's flagship Befree Advanced family of travel photo and video tripods, specifically designed for Sony Alpha camera users who want maximum performance and stability at all shooting angles.
Designed for the Sony Alpha camera range, the Befree 3-Way Live Advanced is the first travel tripod kit on the market designed for both photo and video shooting. It offers precision and versatility with innovative and unique features that enable premium quality photos and videos. All users need to do is let their creativity run wild.
This special version features the Manfrotto 200PL-PRO quick release camera plate, specifically designed for Alpha 7 and Alpha 9 cameras*, and exclusive graphics on the legs and bright red details on the head that echo the design of the Alpha camera range.
The kit combines Manfrotto's brand new Befree Live 3-way head with the popular Befree Advanced aluminum tripod. It fulfills the dual function as a photo and video camera kit, following the current trends in cameras and their use, as the new cameras offer not only top performance in photos but also a full-frame sensor with 4K video recording, each of which has different requirements in everyday life.
The Befree 3-Way Live head is Manfrotto's innovative 3-way fluid head in travel format with fully retractable levers for unique compactness and amazing stability with a payload of up to 6 kg. This innovative head is ideal for customers who want a single but extremely versatile support for stills and video.
Thanks to its powerful Befree Fluid damping system for ultra-sensitive control of both pan and tilt movements, this head makes it exceptionally easy to fine-tune for the most precise image and film settings. The high-performance fluid used is at the cutting edge of Manfrotto's fluid head technology, ensuring the most sensitive control of movements and exceptional stability, even in extreme temperatures (-30°/ +70°).
The long pan lever, quick changeover to portrait mode and three spirit levels guarantee absolutely precise shooting angles and versatility for creative ideas and stunning outdoor shots.
The plate is specially designed to fit the Sony Alpha 7 and 9 camera bodies and offers perfect support even at the most unusual camera angles. The edge at the front of the plate locks the camera mechanically, preventing any play during both tilting and rotating movements and keeping the camera firmly attached to the head plate at all times. The result is impressive camera stability that ensures sharpness at the highest level. The plate is also fully compatible with the world's most common head mounts: Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-Swiss. With this aluminum plate on the camera, setup is quick and effortless on all Manfrotto heads and almost all tripod heads with Arca mounts on the market, without disassembling any components.
The ergonomic design of the kit makes operating the Manfrotto Befree 3-Way Live Advanced for Sony Alpha cameras intuitive and fast, allowing even the most demanding users to set up their equipment quickly and easily without losing sight of the subject. The spider has been designed for perfect stability on even the most uneven terrain, keeping the camera perfectly steady and ready for razor-sharp images and smooth video.
The QPL Travel leg lock with levers makes set-up and adjustment simple and secure, and ensures absolute stability in all configurations when the tripod is set up.
The ergonomic leg angle pre-selection mechanism is designed for both right and left-handed users, so that everyone can intuitively change the shooting perspective and find the right tripod height without losing sight of the subject.
The tripod can be easily set up with three independent leg angles, for absolute versatility when shooting all the creative ideas that can arise outdoors.
As with the Manfrotto 190 and 055 professional tripods, the spider of this innovative model also features an Easy-Link attachment. This allows photographers and videographers to expand their creativity with additional accessories to make their shots unique and unforgettable. Creative users who want lights or reflectors can now achieve breathtaking outdoor shots that were previously only possible with tripods overloaded with accessories.
Designed for the Sony Alpha camera range, Manfrotto's Befree 3-Way Live Advanced is the best travel tripod for passionate videographers and photographers who want maximum performance with minimum weight. It offers the optimal combination of portability, stability, easy setup and operation. It has been designed to enable anyone with an Alpha series camera to pursue their passion with the confidence of a superior tripod solution.
