SmallRig Carbon Fiber Tripod with Center Column AP-20 4059

Have total freedom to capture the perfect shot. The ingenious Professional Fluid Video System, Aluminium with Sliding Plate makes your job even easier, thanks to its long list of intuitive design features and high-functioning capabilities. This clever tripod with fluid video head gives you professional quality pan and tilt, extra easy set up, and the freedom to collapse and tidy away into a neat, compact package when you’re done.

This clever piece of kit consists of a fluid video head, and a pro video tripod with a mid-level spreader, giving you everything you need in one box. The mount features a 75mm half ball, so you’ll be able to get into the perfect position in a jiffy. Versatile and smart, this tripod with fluid video head can even support wider HDSLR and interchangeable lens cameras. The fluid drag system counterbalances loads up to 4kg, but it’s capable of holding normal loads up to 7kg, so you’ll never have to worry about wobbling from one angle to the next, whatever equipment you’re using.

Linking your photo head to accessories like external monitors, lights and microphones is a doddle too. Two easy link connectors give you the flexibility to attach whatever the job demands. And when the mount is up, it’s totally secure. It can support up to 20kg, making it super strong, all down to its die cast aluminium crown, and rigid two-stage design. The legs lock firmly in place at just a flick of a handle, spiked rubber feet and rubber overshoes keep a steady grip even on tricky terrain, and it’s versatile enough to pair with a number of different dollies.

This lightweight and extremely versatile aluminium tripod has been designed specifically for professional videographers and photographers. The clever design features a centre column with a built-in levelling ball and bubble spirit level to ensure you can achieve a level shot and perfect horizon quickly and easily every time. In addition, the clever leg selectors give you a pre-set leg angle so you can get set up even faster. As a hybrid tripod, it can be used to mount a flat base video head but it’s also fully compatible with a photo head and so it appeals to both videographers and photographers alike. The combination of lightweight design, fast set up features and special levelling aids makes it the perfect tripod whether you are using it indoors or outdoors.

Manfrotto’s Befree Live is the most compact travel video tripod kit, dedicated to hobbyist videographers and vloggers who want maximum performance, even when they are on the go. It is easy to carry everywhere thanks to its compact size and it fulfils an increasing demand from independent content creators for a lightweight, ergonomic travel tripod that is easy-to-carry for video recording with DSLRs, compact system cameras or small camcorders.
It features a tripod spider developed to keep cameras perfectly stable on all types of terrain, including the most uneven, always keeping the camera completely steady and ready to capture amazing video footage.

This model introduces a new locking system called the M-lock, the new twist lock developed by Manfrotto to fully satisfy everyone looking for a fast, easy to use, compact solution. Moreover, the M-Lock has no protruding parts, and its mechanism closes perfectly around the head, enabling the Befree Live to slip into and out of its storage pocket effortlessly. 

Its ergonomic leg-angle selector is designed to be used by both right and left-handed videographers, enabling everyone to change shooting perspectives intuitively and to find the right tripod height without losing focus on the shot they want to achieve.

The Befree Live can easily be set to three independent leg angle positions, guaranteeing full shooting versatility for all the creative ideas that can emerge outdoors.

The spider featured on this innovative model also provides an Easy Link, just like Manfrotto’s professional 190 & 055 tripods, allowing videographers to enhance their creativity by adding accessories that make their footage unique and unforgettable. If you like adding lights or reflectors, you can now catch amazing outdoor footage that was previously only achievable with heavy accessorized tripods.

The Befree Live’s small size does not mean compromising on sturdiness or image quality. This solution guarantees very smooth movements thanks to the Befree Live Fluid Head, which features a fluid drag system on pan and tilt and keeps your camera perfectly balanced thanks to its sliding video plate.

Easy to use and set up, the Befree Live Fluid Head is provided with two intuitive on/off knobs that lock and unlock the head’s pan and tilt movements separately.

This lightweight travel video tripod is the optimal combination of portability, solidity, easy set-up and operation.  It is built with the unique goal of enabling individuals to express their nature using their camera with the confidence of being supported by a professional solution. Befree Live is available in black.
