Manfrotto Befree One Travel Tripod - Red for £79.99?

[BenUK]

Hi,

I have been looking at the above tripod both on here and on Amazon and the reviews seem pretty positive. I use a D7200 with the biggest lens being a Nikon 55-700mm. I do an awful lot of traveling and the time has come to take a decent tripod with me. I've seen it on WEX for only £79.99 which seems a bargain. IS this a good tripod for a good price please?.

You have to use there 20% off code before but the website looks like its trusted. (I'm a bit of a newbie in-case you can't tell).

Wex are a decent enough retailer so you'll be fine buying from them.

I have a befree and it is a nice piece of kit well made as you'd expect from manfrotto and reasonably compact and light. I got mine for the northern lights in Iceland and it was great I've used it about three times in the two years since!

Fantastic, I have a cheap one at the moment that also is very heavy. Almost so heavy I don't bother packing it when I got over seas. I come to realize I can't use this cheap one any longer when the head just wouldn't stay in place as the plastic was bendy.
