The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Comfortable to open and close. Hook for counterweight, added in this version and not in the BeFree precedents. Improved grip ("feet") for ground contact with the previous BeFree. Overall aesthetics really enjoyable.
Cons:Quick fastening plate is not the best. Plastic counterweight hook. Price tendentially variable depending on color. Leg screws directly in contact with the ground so they are definitely exposed to dirt (and rust). Non-replaceable head?
Opinion:Bought on Amazon at 130 euros in mid-November 2017. The product, on the market from late 2016 / early 2017, light and practical to carry, is typically chosen for travel photography ... complying with all features as per technical datasheet manufacturer, comes in a comfortable Manfrotto red-black original red-black bag of the right size for the folded tripod. Perhaps the triple bottom part (last rod) is quite slim in the extension of the 3 "legs," but it's just about to hold weights and footprints. The fastening plate is also a bit delicate compared to the heads models that can be combined with various 055/190 (eg three-way head). In the box there is a spare hook to charge it, as an original spare, in addition to a special key to fasten the inserts with "star" attachment. From Closed you carry it comfortably with one hand. Available in various inserts colors: blue, green, anthracite gray, red, and orange special edition. I got it in versionred, which then is not Ferrari red as in the picture, but more tending to a middle between red coral and marsala. Head I do not know if it is removable, I already got connected. The three legs are folded upwards with respect to the center rod with their closing head so as to optimize space. Weighs 1.4kg as per label on cardboard. My vote is 8/10.
