The new and youngest member of the Beefree family is the Befree Live. It is based on the tried and tested Befree travelling tripod, but offers a newly developed Live Fluid video head - just right for videographers.
The new Live Fluid video head is the most compact of its kind and Manfrotto has made no compromises. Smooth movements are a breeze and it is possible to produce high quality videos on the go without having to lug around a large, heavy tripod.
The resistance can be adjusted separately for horizontal and vertical movements, enabling smooth camera pans with any camera, whether fast or slow. The resistance is infinitely adjustable via two screws and can therefore be optimally adjusted to the weight of the camera and the desired speed of movement. The quick-release plate can also be moved forwards and backwards in the holder to balance the camera.
The centre column has an integrated levelling function with spirit level so that the horizon always remains level when panning. This means that the length of the legs does not have to be laboriously adjusted to an uneven surface.
The tripod can be conveniently folded to a transport length of 40 cm and, at just 1.8 kg, is light enough to be used as a travelling companion. With the centre column fully extended, the tripod has a working height of 151cm.
Product highlights:
- Fluid system ensures smooth movements
- Compact, lightweight and easy to transport
- Robust and stable
- Flexible thanks to 2 possible leg adjustment angles
- Comfortable grip thanks to cold protection handle
The Befree Live video head is also available separately for your existing tripod, but then without the levelling function.
