COMPACT TRIPOD & MONOPOD COMBO
Ideal for travel yexibility, the Manfrotto Befree 2N
is a compact, lightweight tripod with a leg that can be
removed and used as a monopod, giving you the
option to decide which is more appropriate for the
conditions and subjects you’ll be photographing. The
aluminum tripod/monopod combo is available in two
models, one with Quick Power Lock levers and one
with M-Lock twist leg locks. Both can support up to
17.78 pounds of gear as a tripod or 11.11 pounds of
gear when using the removable monopod leg. It folds
down to just 16 inches for packing. List price: $
(both models). Contact: Manfrotto, manfrotto.us.
EXTRA BATTERIES
& MEMORY CARDS
Depending on where you’re headed, additional
camera batteries and memory cards may be
considerably more expensive or even impossible
to source locally. We recommend bringing at
least three batteries for your camera, so even if
one fails or is lost, you’ll
still have two for a full day
of shooting. Memory cards
are relatively affordable
these days—if it wts your
budget, consider bringing
enough that you can leave
images on your cards until
you arrive safely back
home. op
