![]() ![]() Given you have to use both the bung stop and the centre twist lock every time you use a befree tripod (all models even the xpro) having something that feels like it will break and something that will fall out every time is not ideal. The flaw is it feels tight to twist up even if it's not and you feel like the twist centre lock is going to break when you do get it to tighten. You really have to twist it and lock it hard to hold the centre column into place if you use it slightly up or fully up to hold the weight of the camera (even just with a small lens on) what's worse is if you turned the column upside down to hang the camera you run the risk of the camera falling to the floor as the stop bung would just come out rather than stopping if the centre lock wasnt tightened fully. The centre twice retainer feels very cheap and feels like it's done up when it's not. Every now and then it will fall out on 1 pull when you lift the centre even if it was fully in place.Ģ. So in raising it to pack away or raise right up you loosen the centre twist and lift the column and 8 of 10 as you hit the stop which is the end rubber bung the bung will start to pop out the bottom of the centre column but the 2nd or 3rd light pull on this centre and the bung falls out. The issues are to use this travel tripod everytime you have to lower the centre column to get the most stability from the tripod but to pack away you have to raise it. Now I had watched reviews and none mentioned number 2 but a few said about number 1 the bung. The tightening and release center column twist screw. The little rubber bung in the end of the centre column. #Manfrotto 141rc manual pro#I wouldn't go over a mid range 100 lens or a 70 pro lens on the lower befree range) but there are 2 huge flaws with the entire befree range except the xpro.ġ. I use up to 7d2 with 70-300L lens so the befree gt is easily able to hold this stable fully extended (the befree advanced or befree wont hold this weight steady. (I wanted under 1.8kg weight hence going carbon rather than the ally options but wanted a good solid tripod to hold 7d2 and 70-300L lens why it had to be the befree gt range rather than the lower befree ranges)įirst off the build quality of the legs, centre column and ball head are really good on the carbon, the twist lock on legs is really good and the feel and weight are very good, ball head is very easy to use and feels strong and well build but does lack a level but how often do you really use this and most cameras have a build in level you can use. ![]()
