Made from aluminium, the BeFree tripod weighs only 1.4 kilograms but can accept a payload of up to 4 kg. Befree is quick to set up and simple to use. New patented leg angle selectors provide two inclination options, offering maximum versatility for camera positioning. The aluminium ball head is solid, quick and simple to operate.
