Looking for a solid support for your a7 II, a7 III, or a9-series mirrorless camera? Well, look no further—Manfrotto and Sony have joined forces to develop the Befree Advanced Sony Alpha Edition Tripod. Already a popular support option, thanks to its light weight and compact size, the Befree series is a great option for photographers looking to acquire a quality tripod. The Befree Advanced steps things up a notch, with 17.6-lb load capacity and durable aluminum construction. It also offers improved locking levers and redesigned graphics to match the look of Sony's cameras. However, what makes it truly unique for Sony Alpha shooters is the Manfrotto RC2/Arca-type compatible 200PL-PRO plate in a matched cinnabar colorway and with a form that perfectly matches the camera body, for added security and stability.
Overall specs for the Alpha Edition make it appealing for travelers because it folds down to 15.75" and weighs just 3.6 lb. The tripod can reach a maximum height of 59", with the center column extended, has a minimum height of 15.75", and three leg-angle positions for added versatility. The top ball head is well made, with 360° panning, tension control, and more for easy positioning of your camera. And, as with many of Manfrotto's products, it is designed and manufactured in Italy.
