Attention all filmmakers on the go! Manfrotto’s booth at NAB 2018 is showcasing some amazing new hands-free gear that you won’t want to miss. If you’re already familiar with Manfrotto’s solid reputation for tripods and support gear, then you’ll be excited to hear about their new BeFree tripod line and nifty new gear backpacks that will help free up run-and-gun filmmakers.
Moving in a different direction than many of the other big-name brands at NAB this year, Manfrotto is focusing on the prosumer and solo filmmaker markets with their BeFree tripod line. They’ve even introduced a new “Live”-focused version for vloggers and filmmakers looking for quick setups and the ability to turn the camera on themselves. The BeFree Live comes with a fluid head with a solid drag system for pans and tilts, and both aluminum and carbon fiber options are available.
But that’s not all! Manfrotto has also revealed the fruits of its recent Sony-focused effort with the BeFree Advanced Sony Alpha Edition Tripod, built specifically for the Sony a7S III, a7S III, and other a9-series mirrorless cameras.
To further help filmmakers on the run, Manfrotto has also introduced their new line of travel-ready Cinematic Balance backpacks. The Pro Light Cinematic camcorder backpack will hold your DSLR or mirrorless camera, your complete array of lenses, a monopod, accessories, and even a DJI Ronin M/MX or similarly sized gimbal. The Pro Light Cinematic camcorder backpack Expanded is a similar expandable build with even more space that is still carry-on sized while fitting up to 10 lenses with your camera and gear.
