Las Vegas, NV—Manfrotto introduced its new Befree Colors, for traveling photographers who need a lightweight tripod for use in or outside of the studio. The new Colors tripods come in blue, green, gray and red, to refresh the Befree line by adding “a unique and stylish look” to the tripod collection.
Manfrotto Befree tripods utilize a folding mechanism that allows the legs to fold backwards around the integrated aluminum head. When fully collapsed, the tripod measures 15.7 inches. Also, the center column fully extends to support cameras at a maximum height of 56.69 inches. With a small footprint and weighing three pounds, Colors tripods are billed as portable tools photographers can bring nearly anywhere. And, with a maximum payload of 8.8 pounds, Manfrotto’s Befree aluminum tripods can support a range of camera setups.
Key features of the four new colors include: an improved grip; new rubber feet that cover a larger area for increased surface grip; and a newly added hook under the column to add extra weight when needed for extra stability.
With an included carry bag, the four Befree Colors tripods each retail for $179.99.
