If you’re a professional photographer with a mirrorless camera seeking superior performance in a carry-on size, look no further than the Befree GT PRO carbon fibre tripod. It stands out as the most advanced solution in Manfrotto’s extensive range of travel tripods, combining portability (folded length of only 43 cm/16.93 in) with impressive stability. You can rely on flawless and effortless operation even with a 12 kg/26.46 lbs equipment load.

Designed for quick adjustments, the tripod lets you focus on framing the perfect shot. No fuss, no wasted time—just readiness. Its ergonomic design in fact makes setting up and operating the kit intuitive and fast, even for the most demanding photographers.

Experience unparalleled stability on any terrain, even the most uneven, thanks to the robust spider design that keeps your camera rock-steady and poised to capture the sharpest images.

For photographers, every moment counts—it could be THE one. Streamline your setup with a tripod that opens effortlessly with a single gesture. The twist lock mechanism, developed by Manfrotto, is your top choice. It’s compact, lightning-fast, and incredibly user-friendly, with no protruding parts—just seamless closure around the head, allowing the Befree GT PRO carbon fibre tripod to slip into and out of its storage pocket effortlessly.

Smoothly switch shooting perspectives with the ergonomic leg-angle selector on our Befree GT PRO carbon fibre tripod. Whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, finding the perfect tripod height won’t distract you from capturing the shot you want. Plus, the three independent leg angle positions guarantee full shooting versatility for creative ideas outdoors.

Adding unique accessories can truly enhance your shots, making all the difference. That’s why our Befree GT PRO carbon fibre tripod boasts the Spider with Easy Link. Photographers who relish adding lights or reflectors can now capture stunning outdoor images that were once achievable only with heavily accessorized tripods.

And that’s not all: Meet your silent partner in the art of composition: The tripod is kitted out with Manfrotto’s Advanced 496 aluminium Centre Ball Head, a compact but powerful and intuitive head that allows quick and precise camera movement. The head features three independent controls: a main ergonomic knob for sphere lock, an integrated friction control knob for balanced equipment weight, and an independent panoramic knob for horizontal camera movement.

The head uses the world’s most popular professional quick-release plate system, the Manfrotto RC2, which is fast and easy to use, with a built-in safety lock. The camera quick-release plate is also compatible with the Arca-type mounting system, making it versatile for other mounting needs. With this unique aluminium plate attached to the mirrorless camera, all Manfrotto heads* and nearly all tripod heads on the market can be mounted quickly and effortlessly, eliminating the need for disassembly.
