Alright, so, you're walking around with
your camera gear all over the place,
you're taking time-lapse images, you're
taking long exposures, you're working
with extra telephoto lenses, and you
don't want to walk around with a heavy
tripod. That's where the Manfrotto BeFree
Carbon Fiber comes in, in this
beautiful Italian mosaic design.

Now, of course, this
Manfrotto BeFree Carbon Fiber travel
tripod is a travel tripod look, it, it's
born this way, this is the way you get it,
it comes in this beautiful carrying case
I almost feel like I'm dealing with
Ferrari or Lamborghini products, and
notice how it folds up in this design it
inverts into itself. Now, this is super
lightweight this weight barely over two
pounds but it accommodates up to nine
pounds worth of equipment. Now, this is a
folded-up version it extends up to past
56 inches so it does accommodate the
average photographer out there. Now you
can notice that it has a 3 locking
mechanism.
The first one is so it inverted into
itself, the second one, now, this is the
normal setting for the tripod and notice
how it locks the leg in place.
Now you do have your quick release system so
it's meant so you can open these up in a
hurry , and it being carbon fiber you do
have to pull on it a bit, it isn't something
that just comes down, and again this
extends up to 56 inches, so the average
photographer can work with this with no
problem.
It comes with an incorporated ball head,
is their designated design, notice that
it comes with the actual color too, it
basically, matches this beautiful design
that they have in the carbon fiber. It is
a standard ball head so, whenever you get
to the point that you want, you lock it
in place and it has a locking mechanism,
so it doesn't open by accident.
Now, the third setting on this is for us
macro and low expanse photographers, you
can get this guy really close to the
ground, like so, so now I can have my
camera all the way down here, and like I
said, you can you work with something
like this, again this is big for
mirrorless but guess what, this is
basically a 600 millimeter F/4 on the
new OMD EM1 Mark II and, I will now
attach it, of course, it is a Manfrotto U.S.A.
product designed and manufactured in
Italy comes with standard instruction
pamphlet, and your warranty it is two
years this way, but remember when you
register Manfrotto products online your
warranty extends to as much as eight
years. Now, this is the standard plate,
very easy to work with, and they gave you
the thumb thread so you can lock it in
place. Open this up, remember you have the pin,
so you don't open it by accident or that
you don't have an accident by just
popping open on you. Fit it in place and
locks in place and there you go. Now you
do have all full functioning ball head, I
mean notice there's no creep,
so if I want to do some astrophotography,
some long exposures, some panning, some
incredible video, this guy is going to
let me do it. There you have it, the
Manfrotto travel BeFree compact in carbon fibre.
