Manfrotto launches two new models of tripods today. BeFree and 190 models are for different photographers.
For the travel photographers, the BeFree will suit your needs. It is very portable at only 1.4kg and 15.8inches, very compact that you tuck this in your luggage or backpack easily.
Manfrotto BeFree comes with a nylon carry bag which is secured by a zipper. And in case you don’t like to put it in your backpack, the carry back has a should strap. The tripod is design to carry your DSLR rig up to 4kgs. This configuration will fit the entry level to mid-level DSLRs with basic zoom lens mounted.
The lens is best for shooting landscapes and cityscapes.
Here’s a quick video clip that demonstrates the use of Manfrotto BeFree.
