Travel Video Without the Clutter
SMOOTH MOTION IN A COMPACT KIT
The Befree Live combines four-section aluminum legs with a lightweight fluid head. It’s designed for creators who want to capture smooth pans and tilts while on the go, but need a setup that’s only 40 cm long when folded and easily stows away in the included bag.
Low transport weight for on-location shoots and vlogging.
Safe load capacity according to the current UNI/PdR 105:2021 standard.
Maximum height; 129 cm with the center column retracted.
Befree Live Fluid Head
CONSTANT RESISTANCE FOR PAN AND TILT
The fluid cartridge smooths out panning and tilting motions, and two separate controls lock each movement independently. The 501PL sliding video plate helps balance the camera, while the included panoramic handle allows for precise framing. A single spirit level makes it easy to align the horizon.
M-Lock Rotating Locks
QUICK SETUP WITHOUT PROTRUDING LEVERS
M-Lock locks wrap around the leg tubes, allowing the tripod to slide easily into luggage. Each leg can be independently opened to an angle of 22°, 54°, or 89°, and the Easy Link accepts a compatible arm with a light or monitor. The same kit is also available as an aluminum lever-lock version (MVKBFRL-LIVE) and a lighter carbon fiber twist-lock version (MVKBFRTC-LIVE).
