This lightweight tripod supports up to 10kg and extends to 164cm, making it ideal for both travel and professional use. Its compact design folds to just 43cm, fitting easily into the included carry bag. The ergonomic leg-angle button allows for versatile height adjustments, from macro shots at 9cm to overhead shots using the 90° column mechanism. The 496 Centre Ball Head offers smooth panning and precise control, with a quick-release system for fast camera setup.
The 2kg Manfrotto Befree GT XPRO Aluminum Travel Tripod with 496 Center Ball Head is a 4-section support with the twist M-Lock leg system that quickly unlocks with a 90° turn, enabling you to extend the legs along with the rapid centre column to a maximum height of 164cm. The ergonomic leg-angle button disengages the legs, so you can splay the legs at different heights, and you can completely splay the legs out to a minimum height of 9cm for low-angle or macro photography. At the same time, the built-in 90° column mechanism allows you to pull the centre column out and slide it back in on its side, letting you shoot right over your subject.
The 496 Centre Ball Head, which has a load capacity of 10kg, has two independent knobs for the ball movement and for panning, and the main locking knob includes an adjustable tension control on the side of the knob. The head also has a quick release system, which is supplied with a dedicated 200PL PRO plate. To store the tripod or travel with it, the legs fold in the reverse to a length of 43cm and fit into the included carry bag.
