Never understand as to why the bubble is always underneath the plate where in most situation it is obstructed by the camera or lens.Better placing would be the ball head .
@ 3:55 "So it is quite lighter". Is it? Both models weigh 2kg. The 190 is 500g lighter than the 055 in the same material. In both, Carbon version is around 500g lighter. Useful video nonetheless, thanks
I am a beginner, looking for my first DSLR tripod. I have watched a few tripod reviews and some of those reviews,like this one, ignore the maximum heights of tripods which are important if you are tall. Manfrotto Be Free Live has a maximum height 150cm without its ball head which is too low for me. It’s kind of sad.
Great tripods, but absolutely horrendous customer support folks.......been trying for 3 weeks + to get the USA sales office to answer a simple question about a carrying strap availability and no response!
True. HOWEVER, one advantage that's is virtually never mentioned about the "PRO" 90° version is the significantly larger size of the center column's locking collar (the dark-red thingy), compared with the regular non-90° version. I've owned both tripods in the past, and the "PRO"s center column lock is noticeably more secure. It's like comparing the grabbing ability of a whole fist around a pole, versus just using your thumb and index finger (like an OK sign).
I had a 190 before moving to befree original range. The befree is compact but adjusting the legs is awkward. Between the 190 and 290, is there a difference in sturdiness?
I just bought sony alpha version of befree advanced carbon tripod.strange that I can not attach my native sony 70 - 200 f4 lens to tripod plate which is supposed to be made for sony alpha mirrorless system how come?
The plate that is included with the Sony Alpha version of the BeFree Advanced is designed to prevent the camera body from twisting. If you wish to use a lens collar, you will need a regular Manfrotto 200PL plate.
@@GentecInternational it is supposed to be compatible all sony alpha product if the product name says so and sony 70-200 f4 lens is for sony alpha mirrorless cameras why should I need to buy another plate
@@cuneytgumushaneli9820 The product page says it is designed for α cameras from Sony. "The plate is designed to match Sony α7 and Sony α9 camera bodies*" - www.manfrotto.ca/befree-advanced-designed-for-cameras-from-sony - our apologies if that wasn't clear when making your purchase.
Technically it's a 'whatchamacallit' but point well made ... ;-) For those without the tool the clamp nut is an 8mm hex and a nut driver in that size works a treat. ;)
I've had a Manfrotto 190 series tripod-originally with a 200 fluid head but now with a far superior 128RC fluid head-for over 30 years. I use it to support my two spotting scopes in the field: a 60mm Optolyth and a 3½" Questar. It is light and sturdy and does a good job but I need a bigger one, especially for the Questar. To that end I've just ordered a Manfrotto 055Xpro3 in black aluminium for use with the 128RC. I shall keep the 190/200 head combination for a back-up or just home use. Oh, and I fastened some one-foot lengths of foam pipe insulation (bought from a plumbers' merchant) to the top of the legs of my 190 and secured them by winding some black Tesa 'tough tape' around them. The comfort this gives to the shoulder when carrying the scope on the tripod for long distances in the field is immeasurable.
Define "medium size." :) The 190 will do nicely with any scope in the 60 to 70mm range, though get the one with 3-section legs, not the 4-section shown in this vid. (The 4-section leg model has thinner lower sections and an extra leg "joint" which makes it slightly more "flexy.") For scopes 80mm and above, you're better off with the 055 (again, go for the 3-section leg model). As for the head, the MHXPRO-2W is a primo choice for any scope between 60 and 85mm.
Yea, it's a 8mm hex nut in those leg locks and my (used) 055XB didn't include the Manfrotto tool so I just keep a nut driver (8mm) in a side pouch for those (very rare) times when I may need to tighten things up a bit.
Would you recommend 3 sections or 4 sections tripod which one is more sturdy of the same model I am looking at, Manfrotto 190 Aluminum 4 Sec tripod and Manfrotto 190 Aluminum 3 Sec Tripod
Idk how many videos I have seen that didn’t really have specific details on the tripods. MAIN QUESTION .... How much weight does it hold? Does the ball head swivel? Come on Manfrotto sheesh!
Hi Eva, thanks for your feedback. The videos were meant to be a brief introduction to the Manfrotto family of tripods. For exact specifications of every tripod, such as weight, capacity, folded size, etc - we would recommend visiting our website which also has a handy comparison tool: www.manfrotto.ca/products/photo-tripods
One of the TH-cam channels said the 055 is going out of production, I was actually upset at the news. I’ve just taken my very old 055c out of service as the leg adjustment grips have snapped, they were made out of cast iron then and I have no idea how many times I’ve use it in going on for 25 years. I asked Manfrotto about spares and they said they had two different models of older 055, both of them were much younger than mine. I’d like to get it fixed as I got it off my first photography tutor.
+Mark Harris - don't believe everything you read on the internet, the 055 isn't going anywhere ;) We may still have parts available for your older 055c. If you're in Canada, give Gentec International a call at 1-905-513-7733. Many of the parts diagrams are also available on www.manfrottospares.com.
Gentec International Thank you very much, I think it was on fstoppers channel. I’m in the U.K. but thank you very much for your kind offer of help. I have been on Manfrotto Spares before, it was from there that I emailed Manfrotto themselves, I don’t think the person believed when I said my my leg adjustment fittings were cast iron with a tap style tightener. Again thank you for your kindness. You have taken me to a different site than last time, they are there! 🙏

Please advise which model, among all of them, has the maximum camera and lens work load capacity. Many Thanks.
Lovely video! But it would of been great if you named or linked the tripods in the description .
She names everything and you can see it in the video!
I love the technical term "thigamajig" That what I call it any way.
3:38 - "keep it on the leg so you don't use it"
Me: *keeps it on the leg....instantly loses it.*

They should place this video on their website on tripod page, there is no good comparison info on their website

The advantages of being 5 ft 6
Cn the first tripod be able to tilt 90 degree in order to take overhead shots...?
Great tripods, but absolutely horrendous customer support folks.......been trying for 3 weeks + to get the USA sales office to answer a simple question about a carrying strap availability and no response!
Did they get back to you yet?
Yes, purchased and works great.....................
It's not true that carbon version supports more weight. Both are rated for the same kg. Keep your facts in check.
Does...............................it.................................invert?
Many thanks for the general review, which is very useful in selecting the suitable model for each type of photography.
How about spotting scopes? Who wants a Manfrotto that to set at 90 degrees?

Hi can you suggest me a aluminium tripod with 75mm ball???i stat in india....
Would you recommend 3 sections or 4 sections tripod which one is more sturdy of the same model I am looking at, Manfrotto 190 Aluminum 4 Sec tripod and Manfrotto 190 Aluminum 3 Sec Tripod
KEN HUANG less sections will always be more sturdy. I got the 3 section instead of the 4 section for that very reason.
Is there any advantage of the 3 section 190 to the 290 beyond how compact it is ?
@@murph914 check the max height they go to
