Manfrotto Befree Advanced Tripod with 494 Ball Head Review

[@RyeMijares]

This is the only video on the internet that answered my question after watching tons of stupid video about Manfrotto. Its about using the fluid head. Thanks much sir!!

[@1AFVeteran]

Lever locks can also all be released at the same time. I find them to be faster to get set up but to each his own. Pros and cons to both I guess. Manfrotto needed to make this tripod taller so it would go at least 75 inches maximum height.

Thanks for this positive review for the Manfrotto BeFree. Your demonstration helped cinch my decision. I already use a larger carbon-fiber Manfrotto, with a similar style head, so it was a natural choice to stay with this hardware brand. It compares very well (weight, height, portability) with, for example, the PeakDesign, at a small fraction of the cost. One thing I did as soon as I received my new BeFee was to black out the carrying case. I used Goof Off to remove the branding; I masked it and used black enamel on the white vinyl cording, and black Neopaque acrylic paint to brush out the red. It looks great.

[@hayabusa27]

Very nice review. That 494 ball head review helped me out.

[@jenzelvelo7273]

Thanks for making such a simple review on this product! I usually jump from so many didferent videos but I trust your review and I'm sold. Adding to cart now!!!

[@SherryEllesson]

This was really helpful. I have an older tripod that's heavy and fine for stationary work but I was looking for something more portable for outdoor video.

[@ShadeReview]

Glad to help! Thanks for watching Sherry :)

[@TheDeathCrafter]

Very good review. Thank you. Was curious about the ball head.

[@DavidStella]

I recently bought the “baby” version of this tripod, the Manfrotto Element Traveler Small. It doesn’t offer as many features as this one, but for my occasional photography use, I think it’s fine.

[@KaanSenel]

Really awesome review man, might pick this one up. Do you have any suggestions on a tripod on which you can put the middle column horizontally? To take flat lays and do flat lay videos or is there a way I could do it with this tripod?

[@TbonesTech]

Sorry in just now reading this. I would recommend the Manfrotto MK190XPRO3-BHQ2 I own one and really like it

[@SkylerWilsoncroft]

This was very helpful, thank you!

Hello. Do you consider this very tripod to be a very good option for a gimbal? I´ve just purchased the Moza Aircross 2 + Slypod E for my Sony a6400 with 16-50mm lens kit.

[@purpleyams8738]

Are birds eye view possible with this tripod with heavy lenses?

[@dzna5g986]

For a moment I felt like I'm in shade review 😂 when you said it's made in italy hhhh

[@TbonesTech]

Hahahahaha

[@JamesPotterAboutArt]

Hi. Really good review. Thanks

[@garyhunt8455]

Does this have an Arca Swiss plate?

[@girarcat]

Hi! Do you think it is possible to attach an L Bracket or a Nodal Slide to this ballhead? I'm not sure if this quick release system will allow to use any other universal arca swiss accesory

[@nonewfriends6446]

I have this and love it because I am only 5' 2" :)

[@duk_kicks]

How did you remove the ball head? Couldn't seem to replace mine. Using a BeFree as well :)

[@TbonesTech]

Lock pan knob down. And it will twist off the 3/8 inch screw

[@pattistriefel3804]

@@TbonesTech Thank you! Have been looking everywhere on how to get the 494 off

[@cultivatedbynature5953]

Hi, I’ve just purchased a tripod off a site, unfortunately they’ve given me a tripod with a mix and match of pieces. The head of the tripod is manfrotto and it didn’t come with the quick release plate, I’m wondering if you know where I can get that quick release plate from?

[@anassepet4394]

The first time i saw people attached mvh502ah on the befree tripod. I was wondering is it possible or not as i own the befree xpro gt (carbon). Was wondering is it able to attach 502ah or i need to buy the video tripod. Cause i only making video for my product review only using a7iv. Unless using more heavier video camera maybe i need that big video tripod

[@sebastiandiego8539]

I like how your jeans cost more then the tripod does hahaha

[@carly3710]

Wait I didnt now they make Jeans that cost more then $200 what brand does he have on and how much do they cost? also how can you tell

[@notablog4750]

That is not surprising $189.88 is not a lot to spend on Jeans

[@sillycripple435]

@@notablog4750 ARE YOU JOKING $189 IS A LOT TO SPEND ON JEANS

Is it water proof?

[@reyneilperez5578]

Really helpful review. Tnx a lot.

[@TbonesTech]

No problem thanks for watching!

[@randomtechchannel671]

I love your setup ❤️

[@miscfamilybv1032]

This tripod I feel is little expensive - they should have added atleast a single level reading tool along with the main piece . Then it would be a worth to buy for this price .

[@kevinkidd7211]

Nice

Thanks!
