Manfrotto Top Lock Travel Quick Release Adaptor

The Manfrotto MSQ6T Top Lock Travel Quick Release Adaptor is a 73.5 g aluminum Arca-Swiss adapter with ergonomic side knob, dual-axis spirit level, and 10 kg payload—designed to replace the plate-holder on Befree 494/496/498 heads, folding flush within the tripod legs for ultra-compact travel.

The Manfrotto MSQ6T Top Lock Adaptor upgrades select RC2 heads to full Arca-Swiss compatibility without sacrificing portability. The low-profile aluminum body (8×6.6×2 cm) swaps in using the included Allen key, locking with a side-mounted ergonomic knob that stops at maximum opening to prevent loss. A built-in dual-axis bubble level ensures perfect horizon alignment, while the Arca dovetail accepts any standard plate (MSQ6 plate sold separately). Rated for 10 kg, it’s the perfect bridge for mirrorless or DSLR users who demand fast swaps, precise leveling, and zero bulk when the Befree legs fold around the head.
