Black Friday tends to be associated with great deals on cameras and lenses but it’s also a good opportunity to save some serious money on tripods.
Even with advanced in-camera and lens stabilisation, tripods still have their uses, particularly for very long exposures (as with astrophotography for example) or if you wish to work in a slower, more mindful way.
If you’re in the market for a tripod now is a great time to save big. We’ve found the Manfrotto Befree GT XPRO Aluminium Tripod for only £144.99, which is the cheapest we’ve seen it all year. It represents a saving of 42%.
It’s aluminium rather than carbon fibre, but still weighs in at only 2kg while supporting cameras and lenses up to 12kg in weight – so you are getting a lot of support for your money, without giving you backache as you lug it around. As you will see below, it’s as well suited to macro as well as travel and landscapes.
This deal doesn’t seem to be available for US customers, however.
