The Manfrotto MKBFRTC4-BH Befree Advanced Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod is a 1.25 kg, 4-section carbon kit that folds to 41 cm, reaches 150 cm, and has a manufacturer-rated 9 kg safety payload under UNI/PdR 105:2021 with M-lock twist legs, 3 leg angles (22°/54°/89°), 494 aluminum ball head with a 200PL-PRO plate compatible with RC2 and Arca-type mounts, Easy Link port, and carrying bag—delivering ultra-light, pro-grade stability for mirrorless and DSLR travel.

Manfrotto MKBFRTC4-BH
A 1.25 kg carbon kit that folds to 41 cm, with a 494 ball head for controlled framing. Four-section M-Lock legs and three leg angles adapt the setup for travel photography.
Extend the kit to 150 cm, or work at up to 127 cm with the centre column lowered. M-Lock twist closures have no protruding levers; the ergonomic angle selector adjusts each leg to 22°, 54° or 89°.
Manufacturer operating-height illustration; the camera shown is illustrative and not included.


The magnesium spider’s Easy Link connection provides a mounting point for optional accessories, such as a light or reflector via a suitable arm. The carbon legs and aluminium 494 head remain the core of this camera kit.
Arm, light, reflector and camera are not included. Check the accessory’s mounting interface and load before use.
The 494 head separates ball locking, friction adjustment and panoramic locking, so you can set the framing and resistance independently. Its RC2 quick-release receiver uses the supplied aluminium 200PL-PRO plate. The plate also fits Arca-type mounts, but is not compatible with the Manfrotto 804RC2 or MH804-3W heads.
The manufacturer’s current kit safety payload is 9 kg under UNI/PdR 105:2021. Respect the weakest camera-support component and the operating instructions. The rapid centre column, 360° pan and supplied carrying bag support portable DSLR and mirrorless photography.
Choose one spare plate to suit your workflow; the kit already includes a 200PL-PRO. These accessories are optional.
Observe the lowest load limit of the plate, head, tripod and fitted equipment.
