Manfrotto Tripods: Befree GT XPRO Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod

Manfrotto Tripods: Befree GT XPRO Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod

The Manfrotto Befree GT XPRO Carbon Fibre is a travel tripod designed for macro photographers, ideal for close-ups even from low and awkward angles. Its carbon fibre construction, 90° swivelling centre column and ball head make it a versatile tripod kit for travel and outdoor use.

90° centre tube for close-up photography

The swivelling centre tube allows the camera to be angled sideways and downwards, enabling you to photograph subjects close to the ground or from a high angle, for example. The minimum working height is just 9 cm, which is particularly useful for macro photography.

A design suitable for travelling

The tripod folds down to a transport length of 43 cm, so it can be taken along even on longer photography trips. The carbon fibre construction keeps the weight down to 1.76 kilograms, and the 12 kg load capacity supports even the most demanding camera set-ups.

Ball head and accessory mount

The tripod kit comes with a Manfrotto 464 ball head, which features separate friction control and pan knobs. The Easy Link system allows accessories to be attached to the tripod.
