The Manfrotto Befree GT XPRO Aluminum Travel Tripod with 496 Center Ball Head, weighing 4.4 lb, is a 4-section support featuring the twist M-Lock leg system, which quickly unlocks with a 90° turn, allowing you to extend the legs along with the rapid center column to a maximum height of 64.6″.

The ergonomic leg-angle button disengages the legs, enabling them to be positioned at different angles for flexible height adjustments. The legs can also be fully splayed, reaching a minimum height of 3.5″, making the tripod ideal for low-angle or macro photography.

At the same time, the integrated 90° center column mechanism allows you to pull the center column out and reposition it horizontally, enabling you to shoot directly over your subject, which is particularly useful for product, macro, or flat-lay photography.

The 496 Center Ball Head, with a load capacity of 26.5 lb, features two independent knobs: one for ball movement and another for panning (horizontal rotation). The main locking knob also includes an adjustable tension control located on the side of the knob.

The head also features a quick release system, supplied with the dedicated 200PL PRO plate.

For storage or travel, the tripod legs fold in reverse, reducing the length to 16.9″, allowing the tripod to be conveniently stored in the included carry bag.
