    • Quality tripod from Manfrotto
Style: Befree Live - Alumn Twist
First off, I got the Befree Live for a helluva deal. I was looking for a tripod like the Manfrotto for under $200 and this got really good reviews and I'm loyal to Manfrotto products. Turns out that I spent only $197 and now it's selling for $240+ I prefer the lock twist over the levers which I have on a lighter tripod but they feel too flimsy and could snap off if you aren't careful. The twist locks do take some getting used to for tightening the legs but I really, really like the quality. My only problem was that I wanted to switch the fluid head with a newly purchased Manfrotto ball head. I followed many videos and I just could not get it to come unscrewed. I rotated it counterclockwise at least 30 times and it would not come off. I was ready to send this back. What worked for me was tilting the arm all the way up then rotating it again and it finally came off. Be careful though because the fluid head is heavy and you don't want to drop and break it. A replacement is something like $100+ My biggest gripe is the hook placement that has moved to the side instead of being underneath the column. It's awkward and really small, and frankly I have no idea how you can hook anything onto it. I'll have to find a special hook attachment and see if that helps. I tried a carabiner but it was too big. Anyways, for the price I got a great deal. I'm debating whether to spend an extra $33 for warranty protection but being used as a mostly outdoor tripod I'll probably need it. It's a great all in one solution now that I have the Manfrotto fluid head for video, ball head for photos, a phone mount for a quick and easy setup and finally the Manfrotto quick realease plate that I mounted directly to the fluid head plate and can quickly remove my camera, change to the ball head and snap into that. You don't want to mount the fluid head plate to your camera. It's way too big and cumbersome. Are there better options? Probably, but at the price I got this and after doing lots of research, the Manfrotto Befree Live hit all the right points for me. It's a solid tripod, a bit heavier than I thought it would be, and the angling of legs take some practice, but the Befree Live is totally worth it. ... show more

    • Lightweight but cannot use for vertical compositions
Style: Befree Live - Carbon Twist
I like the weight of this tripod, although I have not tried it with heavier lenses. However, I did not realize that you can only use for horizontal/landscape compositions not vertical/portrait compositions.

    • Perfect tripod for smartphone videography
Style: Befree Live - Alumn Lever
I shoot a great deal now with my smartphone - they’ve gotten so much better, and since I am not lugging around a camcorder, I wanted a lighter tripod but with a fluid head. I had used cheaper, under $50 tripods, which would cause my tripod to fall over during a wind gust. It has a hook in the center so that you can add a counter weight. More importantly, panning on those types of tripods is very difficult. The built-in fluid head on this works so smoothly - just like my heavy duty Manfrotto. But now I am so glad I don’t have to drag that big boy around. I like the clamps to extend the legs, and the legs flip up to place in the carrying back it comes with or a backpack. My only complaint, is the screw under the quick release, I wish it had a turning toggle so you can tighten the smart phone holder easily. A dime would be perfect but I rarely have a dime on me, though car keys work. But other than that, I use this with the Manfrotto smart phone grip which is the best on the market. ... show more

    • Worth every penny - solid and lightweight with small form factor
Style: Befree 3-way Live - Hybrid Alumn
I needed a second tripod to hold phones and light weight dslr's but that was easy to pack on trips and still had some height - this is a lot to ask and end up with a sturdy design. I got the fluid head too and it's incredible smooth and adjustable. I love my heavy weight manfrotto tripod but this is a wonderful second tri-pod! ... show more

    • Nice tripod, subpar fluid head
Style: Befree Live - Alumn Twist
The overall design, look, feel and functionality of the tripod stand is good and reasonable for the price. No complaints with that. But the fluid head is an absolute joke. I haven't had any issues with broken parts as others have noted but then again after reading the other reviews for that aspect of this product, I have been very careful with tightening and handling the adjust screws on the fluid head which may be why I've been fortunate in that respect. I am going to suspect that those who have had no issues or complaints with the fluid head are using equipment that is fairly light. Maybe 2 lbs or less. I on the other hand, have a Sony HXR-MC2500 Pro Video Camera weighing approximately a little over 7 lbs and I've been thoroughly disgusted with the lack of support the fluid head gives. As long as the camera is positioned in a flat horizontal position and the screws are adequately tightened there isn't much of a problem. But angle the camera slightly down or up and be prepared for a catastrophe. I had to catch my camera on several occasions for fear that it would tilt the tripod to the ground because the fluid head won't support the weight. Bottom line, if you decide to purchase this product for the tripod; you won't be disappointed. But if you think you're getting a quality fluid head with it, I'd suggest you don't get your hopes that high or you'll be sorely disappointed. I'm going to purchase a good pro fluid head to replace the junk that came with it; which will add more $$$ onto the initial investment which clearly wasn't the idea I had in mind. So as a piece of advice; you may want to keep those types of figures in mind before committing to purchase this product. If you have a camera that is fairly light weight (maybe around 2 lbs or less) you'll probably be okay. Overall, I'm happy with the "tripod". But I would have gladly paid less for this product if I had the option to purchase the tripod without the crappy fluid head. ... show more
