A Feature Rich Carbon Travel Tripod
Very sturdy 4 section carbon tripod. Separate locking knobs on the head for panning and variable resistance on the ball head. With a max payload of 17.63 lbs, it will hold any of my cameras up to 4×5.I’ve been using an aluminum Manfrotto 190 for the last ten years, and the BeFree Advanced compliments it well. I appreciate the fact that the head’s qr plate clamp is compatible with both Arca Swiss, and backwards compatible with my old RC2 plates.The legs deploy smoothly and provide a sturdy base, the spider connectors lock at 3 angles. The center column can be reversed for low work, and once you get used to it, the twist lock for the center column is a great feature.Usually when I travel, I carry a MF camera; a Rollei or 500 C/M, and a 4×5 camera; either my Graflex Super Graphic or a metal Wista field camera. The BeFree Advanced fits nicely in my kit, providing a lightweight and sturdy base for the cameras I take farther afield, allowing me to relegate my trusty old 190 to cameras that I tend to use…er…closer to the car, like my Century 8×10…
Yea it was great –

Great travel tripod for Plein air
Great tripod. Setup was a breeze for a novice. I will be using this for Plein air and would highly recommend it.

Good item for the money, it is modern.
This is a very good tripod for cameras that weigh up to 5 LB max. I like the ease of adjustment and mounting the camera.I think the Price I paid was reasonable. I have used a few old tripods going back to the 60s. this one in lighter and can support my medium format film cameras. It is much lighter that my old “Tilt all” tripod.

Ideal size and wieght for a backpack size tripod
Fits perfectly inside my Trailscape 18L pack but is light enough to not be overly burdensom on a hike. I was also suprised at how sturdy it was with a fairly heavy camera mounted. (EOS R5 with 24-105 L glass lens)I used it to take long exposure shots of the sunrise over the ocean while the legs were in about a foot of water. Of course, I kept a steady and constant downward pressure on the center so that the waves would be less likely to wash the sand out from around the feet. (See image)Overall, a very reliable set up for general use and espeically handy when needing fairly lightwieght equipment while on the move.

Quality Tripod

Quick release mount jams
Very disappointed with this. It works fine until you move the camera around at different angles. Then the camera gets jammed in the quick release mount clamp and won’t release — the only way to get it out is to unscrew the camera from the mount. I thought the problem was my camera and 100-500 mm lens was too heavy for the tripod (even though the specifications say that the tripod can support much heavier camera & lens) but I had the same issue when using my much lighter 15-35mm lens.

Great for real estate photography or any kind of still photography, light, sturdy. Can be used professionally. Doesn’t look or feel cheap.

Preso per fare un regalo ad un amico, ottimo cavalletto. Ideale per macchine con obiettivi non troppo pesanti. Ottima qualità come da tradizione Manfrotto.
