Is the Manfrotto Befree Live tripod really that good?

[@voyageruno8938]

I like this guy. Honest, simple reviews of useful stuff without all the jerking around and the need to be ludicrous like the most of today's youtubers. Only the accent is here and there hard to understand, but I'm sure he'll work on that! Keep it on ;)

[@DrWaSaBe]

I love his style and knowledge alot but I do suffer in understanding the accent =(

[@raksh9]

Lok's accent is part of the draw. Early on, he unashamedly played on it by referring to his work as 'wideo'. 😁

[@snaaail]

Review the cat

[@AriefAsakura]

lol

[@surrealchemist]

AJHedges weely good cat

[@WYCAN]

Now I demand a wideo about the cat

[@wayneleung3120]

hope to see next wideo about the cat review! (y)

[@tombuckley91]

Could of done with more salt but it went down a treat.

[@animaysh]

I think the guy at 1:53 should show up in every video randomly and say "yaa" to what Lok says.;)

[@TheLokCheung]

animaysh He is Darren Soh, award winning Singapore architectural photographer and we were shooting this kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpuvmmSwgLlnY7c about all the gear he use!

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

Someone rotoscope him...

[@user-xq6kz7ob5y]

animaysh Yeah

[@ikupsugiarto]

yaa

[@networkedperson]

@@TheLokCheung you support Amazon who supports human rights abuses... not good... also, the background music in this video is not annoying enough and not loud enough...

[@harshachoudhary7847]

How many megapixels does the Cat has? And is it compatible with Canon lenses?

[@TheLokCheung]

+Harsha Choudhary I'm not sure but low light performance is exceptionally great!

[@harshachoudhary7847]

Haha, that's great.

[@michaeljarcher]

You did fail to mention, like all Cat models, the battery only lasts 1hour in ever 24. And tendency to activate the sleep mode for no reason is a common fault. otherwise perrrfect. When I say sleep mode I don't just mean paws

[@danieldauber8335]

Good one👍

[@Brianuyahoo]

Michael Archer yes, but the battery lasts nine times longer than one would expect!

[@RyanAnthonyDigitalMedia]

I have this tripod and it's awesome. I almost just exclusively use it, even on jobs, over my other tripods just because it's so easy and light. Best travel tripod you can buy.

[@Greg_the_Berean]

Love your videos Lok! I do miss seeing you and Kai as a team though lol. Also I'd like to say, in the most respectful manner possible that sometimes I have a hard time understanding certain things due to your accent. BUT I really really appreciate that you take the time to add proper captions to your videos! Keep up the great work buddy!

[@RitaTheTravelholic]

desperately hopes for an unboxing video with the cat next time...

[@TheLokCheung]

Here is an unboxing video with the cat kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWikfXpjfKaLmpYm5s

[@Name-mv9nv]

1:14 nailed it. stuck the landing. 10/10;)

[@nissanpacific9793]

Bring the cat back 😱🐈🐱🐾

[@ianmaw66]

Thanks for the review. I bought one of those tripods recently. We met at the Photography Show in 2017. It was nice to meet you.

[@MrAjoson]

"this is some kind of bbc earth or national geographic style wildlife, it's just no wildlife for now.." == HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

[@MichaelsExplorations]

MrAjoson hahahah

[@SimonHollandfilms]

Thank you...I just bought one....hope it’s not too wobbly...really like the leveling ball...might put a better fluid head on it....if possible....cheers...good review.

[@GloomGaiGar]

Lok, you've been holding out on us and yourself. It's common knowledge cats increase subs and viewers by 827% on any wideo.

[@ejsese]

gotta give you props for continuing while almost falling down

[@DavidHar]

I wouldn't mind a whole video about your cat! :3

[@ma3xiu1]

"..just like National Geographic wildlife video... er... just no wildlife for now..." ROFL! Thanks for the great video review, really enjoyed it.

[@cfagil]

Lok, You are unique. Great that you are now taking the lead; no longer the sidekick of Kai. Keep up the good work. All the Best.

[@pamuva]

trifle wideo tripod! dont ever change Lok

[@apislapis]

Nice demo Lok and great choice of beach location. Love those mountains. Being disabled I'm looking for light and compact gear. Thank you for your time, much appreciated.

[@Stearify]

Hay Lok you did some great filming tutorials on DRTV back then when Kai was not around. Would love to see some more of that since your advice is on top :)

[@AbirZenith]

This is like hearing Bruce lee review stuff..

[@nothajzl]

Zenith if Bruce Lee never did fighting ;)

[@nakcarikayu]

bruce lee actuallhy has good diction

[@chryseass.5143]

Lok, you always make me smile!

[@gewglesux]

I have one for stills and it works a treat... can't go wrong with it as a travel T pod.

[@ChrisGen]

As always thanks for your excellent review. It’s good to see someone actually use it

[@marktimmins48]

I really liked the cat balancing at the beginning

[@IanWong]

I use that tripod!

[@JSeoul]

First use impression??

[@sixyears]

the best tri pod is the one you have with you.

[@timkeane3800]

nice save bro you nearly arsed it there on the rocks. 1.16 ninja reflex!!!

[@Sam-ht5dk]

2:07 Oh, that guy actually said something other than "yeah".

[@MarkHoltze]

Lok, great video mate! Love it

[@ReviewDetective]

Hey you're doing a great job Lok, you're videos are quite entertaining and educational !

[@AsianImmersion]

My God, thank you! I'm going to buy this tripod now!

[@andinbriwel1092]

Thank you, Lok! Great review, simple and straight to the point with great examples. Very helpful!

[@PerfectCode]

Love your videos Lok ❤️

[@bigedkc0179]

lok anybody that has watched you knows your very honest so I trust your videos

[@ironqqq]

your reviews are getting better. 加油

[@erichuynh969]

really enjoyed this review. had lots of humor compared to all other reviews which are quite dry

[@StuWright]

hey thanks for the review! it does seem a good thing to have ,and very portable,i`m tempted

[@xavierbeaud]

Thanks for your review. I like your point of view.

[@jeffuclips]

Nice vids Lok!!

[@bigblackhorsestudio2073]

Thanks for your review! After watching your video, I've decided I need a beefier model. Thanks again!

[@VanlilfewithDaleandBailey]

I agree, it needs to be light or it stays home. So how heavy is the cat? Lol?

[@ZzackK262]

Mefoto tripod i believe is more sturdier and feature packed. but the downside, the tripod head is your usual ball adapter instead of video mount. but that aside, it is the best, cheap-ish PHOTO tripod out there imo

[@kendallarroz]

I like Mefoto tripods the best. They are a bit sturdier with Arca Swiss plates. Though my doesn't have a fluid head I'm hoping to upgrade to one. Also they have rotating release locks for the legs.

[@jameshlovingphotography5053]

Thank you that was helpful!

[@keithspillett7312]

Love it. Do you happen to know what the maximum camera weight would be for one of these?

[@markheun6519]

Nicely done review. Thank you.

[@852hk]

Thinks I will buy this one then, the pd design you recently reviewed are just too expensive... this one seems good.. and somehow KZbin suggested me this videos when I’m up this morning... kinda smart ☺️☺️

[@TheLokCheung]

Also if you're looking for video tripod in stead of photo tripod, there's no smaller video tripod than the Befree Live. There are lighter smaller photo tripod, but not video tripod

[@L4LTVuk]

But what was the tripod on the camera that was filming you?

[@TheLokCheung]

That was my wife

[@TexasBuyer2001]

Hi Lok. Nice video. Was it filmed in TaiPo?

[@TheLokCheung]

astsang Opposite side of Tai Po, it's Ma On Shan~

[@appledadlife]

I wish I have a small camera like A7sii for my video..

[@JimmyHope]

good review! I've subscribed to your video.

[@torbenzenk4257]

I really like your reviews

[@danieltobar8602]

I really like this tripod but I've had some issues with it. I've bought and returned 3 units and even tried 2 more in a store but they have all had the same issue. The bubble leveler has not been in balance. At fist I thought that I could live with this issue but then I noticed that the issue was with the whole head, because when panning after I balanced the head with either the horizon or the cameras leveler it would lose the horizontal balance. I really hope I just had bad luck with the ones I tried because I would really like to have one.

[@TheMagicCrayons]

Oooh that's nice. I think I'll buy me one of those! I really do enjoy your video production related reviews btw. Thank you - Tim. I'm not 100% is totally smooth while panning though... is that shutter speed thing?

[@EdwinHenryBlachford]

3 section legs verses 4 section legs please Lok. Your opinion?

[@flipflinstone6494]

Hi, Lok. Is it this one youre reviewing? Manfrotto MKBFRC4-BH

[@Gramofonen]

Really good review. :)

[@cbgsfilmproductions]

Great Review! I basically live around the corner of that stony beach you were filming on, maybe we'll bump into each other some day :)

[@GenerationGap69]

enjoyed your video, thanks

[@forbesy8568]

So Funny i love this video very very entertaining brilliant just brilliant thank you from Australia

[@wwyk1993]

Throughout the wideo I was twying to figure out what's a twuffle twipod

[@lemnisgate8809]

It's a nice tripod but if you add a little too much weight the legs start to collapse, maybe there is a way to tighten it I'll have to check mine out.

[@TheLokCheung]

Yea the screw at the lock could be adjusted, you just need a hex screwdriver

[@awwwtraveler]

I weally weally like that tripod for my wideo

[@hiver7297]

Broewnis Travel 😂

[@josephsunga51]

does the cat shoot in 4k with an IS

[@mediamannaman]

Good job. Thank you!

[@ABPhotography1]

Good review Lok, wonder if its in my budget?

[@tookarevo3271]

Don't buy this tripod , i ordered it directly from Manfrotto website recieved it one week later damaged, broken screw on the fluid head, this tripod has a MANUFACTURE DEFECT, when you fold the legs it is touching the screw that adjust the fluid head, meaning if it is touching it, it was design to break, i got mine broken straight out of the box. then they give me hell to return it, they don't send you a return label like every other company in the world that sells products online, you have to call and ask for one, bottom line , 1 week after i recieved the tripod and informed them i want to return, i still can't do it because i have to fight with them to get a return label. Defected product, Poor service

[@wilkbor]

Thanks for the video. Do you know if this tripod allows the head to be swapped out for a ball head?

[@as-qt3vr]

Can you review the Manfrotto Element? I feel like that tripod is really good for traveling, well the small one is atleast.

[@rsstnnr76]

The captioning did a great job. lol

[@NorbertTukora]

This wideo is sponsored by: CAT.

[@conceptzone]

you made me laugh man

[@faborogers896]

How do you feel about the panasonic g85 for cinematography and professional video work? I'm just curious about your thoughts, thanks!

[@rvboondocker2559]

Wery wobbly wideo twipod while wideoing with wavey water weally wears wideographers out. Gweat wewiew! I Wuv Lok!

[@MrPhilbautista]

Bwahahahah. He was fine as Kai's sidekick/partner but listening to him for an entire segment is brutal. But his opinion's are on point and honest, and I love him for that.

[@jorgenmalmo]

Been thinking of buying that one. Need a smal travle tripod 😀

[@MHSFL]

A wild Darren Soh appeared

[@EGWL93]

Singapore!? You should do a fan meeting in your next visit!

[@TheLokCheung]

+Eddie Goh I did! You won't had missed it if you were following my Twitter @lokcheung haha

[@EGWL93]

Lok Cheung That explains!! I never play Twitter, only FB and Instagram.... Well there's always future I guess...😉

[@TheLokCheung]

I've shared that on my Facebook page too so I think you have no excuse not to follow now: facebook.com/LokCheungPage/

[@EGWL93]

Lok Cheung hahah!! Got caught red-handed 😅😅 "Like" already, thanks for informing you have a page! Honestly I thought only alambyl and Kai was in since there's no news popped up about you

[@shoxx1124]

When did u come Singapore!

[@KandiKlover]

Remember when Kai broke bloody producers Gitzo with a football and was only allowed to use cheap ones after?

[@romainprovost7164]

Is it compatible with the arca-Swiss tray? Is it functional to support an Olympus EM1 Mark III? Can it be used in both video (for panoramas) and photo?

[@hk_brit_fisher]

I love your cantonese accent

[@Evilimp000]

You can't tease us with that kitty and not tell us more!

[@AYPChua]

hi Lok, is it possible to get the video head only and put it on the photo version of the Befree tripod?

[@dwaynefoong]

can you unscrew the fluid head?

[@techboymn]

If it comes with a video head which one is it

[@treyquattro]

Is that Mr. Yeh?

[@ajfilmsindiaa]

What is the name or no. Of this tripod

[@basedhalcyon]

Aww, I wanted a video about your cat.

[@markwashington8415]

was sold on the tripod until i saw the price

[@jonathankang8121]

What ND filter are you using?

[@andrearusky]

Oh no, the camera with neckstraps mounted on a tripod 😓

[@lightcameraaction9189]

what is difference between this and mt055 with mvh500 ?

[@Puppyjans]

great video

[@MannyScoot]

Nice video.... Thanks

[@nothajzl]

I've just ordered this tripod on ebay. Now i'm thinking if i made the right decision :/

[@davidsworld5837]

did the cat get its paid for its cameo in this video

[@TulioSounds]

Wideo*

[@Freddy-Da-Freeloadah]

A Lot of plastic paats... Plastic parts break... I do not like the rectangular plates. I like the old hexagonal monfrotto plates better... I like how it flips around and is ready to stand, even when the legs are not fully extended...

[@Benjovi2305]

Love lok..... wideoooo

[@dominicklee6280]

LOK is the befreelive tripod's fluidhead good? It is stable with my rig canon 80D with sigma 18-35mm art lens? I are really considering to buy it. Please reply thanks Lok, and any viewers can help me out?

[@tookarevo3271]

Defected product, Poor service

[@dennisolof9994]

Nice review. However I still think that tripod is to big, I would like to see a monopod with a small tripod capability at the bottom, so you could use it as a tripod if you need to. Would be perfect for real small cameras when you want more stable video or stationary shots. Perhaps there is a product like that, I do not know. Anyone know, post a reply with link.

[@tams805]

You could get a monopod and use a three-pronged based on it. Manfrotto make some. That said, they are for greater stability then being held, not for when they are left on their own, as they might topple over

[@dennisolof9994]

Ok, yes I understand that. I was more thinking of a monopod for main use, but with the option to have a tripod base on it, so you could use it as a slim tripod, with limitations of course but still. It could also be half the height. There are tiny tripods like pocket versions but they are often to small, but I am getting one, I think Lok has a tiny one he does use. Anyway thanks for advice, will look at the options out there.
