Been looking for a new tripod for past few weeks and stumbled across this today. Seems to be a large price drop (-89% from RRP $509.95). I recall seeing it between $200-$300 in the past. Only catch is it ships from Amazon UK, so may be longer than usual for delivery. I took the plunge and ordered. Expected to arrive by 8 Dec 2022.

  • Model Number: ‎ MKBFRLA-BH
  • Colour: Black
  • Material: Aluminium
  • Plate: Sony α7 and Sony α9 camera bodies
  • Head Type: Ball Head
  • Payload: 9 kg
  • Weight: 1590 g
  • Maximum Height: 151 cm
  • Closed Length: 40 cm

Full specs: https://www.manfrotto.com/au-en/befree-advanced-designed-for…

NOTE: Not sure if this is a pricing error for just the Sony plate, and not the tripod itself. The listing, RRP and Camelx3 all seem to suggest it's the tripod, but who knows. Will update once I receive something.

    It said: Compact in size, it weighs only 1.4 kg (3 lbs), and it’s 40 cm (15.7) when folded. It has to be the whole tripod.

      I got an email containing the text "Order Confirmation", but it was for 2 separate order IDs, one for the tripod and another for other purchases I made.
      Haven't received a cancelled email yet, but guessing I probably will. Let's see.

    Looks like the OzBargain curse has hit again. You often see these heavily discounted items posted here, and everyone understandably jumps on it, to only have it cancelled. We're like a pack of hungry hyenas that flock to a piece of meat, where no one gets a bite. lol

  • beemr on 19/11/2022 - 00:04

    mine hasn't cancelled yet, but no confirmation email either. not looking good.

  • 3atc3 on 19/11/2022 - 15:39

    Amazon CS is second to none. Reynard first offered me the Manfrotto Compact MKCOMPACTADV-BK for the same price. Good deal, but I declined. He then offered me $51.57 in account credit (on top of the full refund). I don't think any other company would do that.

    • yuisakas on 19/11/2022 - 19:00

      Just a shltty company,if they are good they will honor or give some credit at first place,you might get something/or not depends who you chat with but waste your time and most of other people's time

    • Fuzor on 19/11/2022 - 19:11

      Bezos company is all about customers. I've had the same experience as you. Amazon has better service than most retailers. Only the big ones like myer, David jones, jb can really match

      • yuisakas on 19/11/2022 - 19:20

        Yes?What customer service?An email said"We're writing to inform you that your order has been cancelled by Amazon UK. We' re sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. You will be refunded within 3-5 business days."? Or the auto refund is not should thats why is good customer service?

        • Fuzor on 20/11/2022 - 11:17

          Its a price error! My god get over it. If you're normally a customer of theirs when there isn't an error, you'll know Amazon provides great service.

            -1

            @Fuzor: It is not a price error because" the great customer service "told me on the phone and what great service I wonder?Only things like this will tell a company care about their customers or not,I remerber Bunnings gave $200 giftcard/or honor part of orders with error price with DJI at first place even I didn't jump on that party

            • I Smell Pennies on 20/11/2022 - 11:29

              @yuisakas: So you think Amazon should give out $200 for every cancelled order? No

              If this was your company, would you do the same? Giving large amounts of compensation for each cancelled order, knowing there's probably hundreds of orders?

              • yuisakas on 20/11/2022 - 11:31
                -1

                @I Smell Pennies: I dont think they should and I dont think they are great customer service,but if they did they are great customer service.Also this is not price error just Amazon UK cant full fill the order that they oversold(Great customer service told me on the phone),so I ask if they can fullfill by Amazon AU or even lower grade item by Amazon UK but they can't,thats below average customer service standrad for me,Make sense?

                • Fuzor on 20/11/2022 - 11:53

                  @yuisakas: You just wrote below they gave you $80 credit. You're obviously not a customer usually otherwise you would realise that is very generous of them.

                  • yuisakas on 20/11/2022 - 12:01
                    -1

                    @Fuzor: Ye?$80 credit,$320-$80=$240+ 1 hour of time(which I only have to pay$52),thats generous,I dont know who will think this is great customer service,eg:coles/woolworths if they sold out items they replace with higher grade items or fullfill from other store.Bunnings give you giftcard/fullfill part of orders(even its price error) at first place.
                    If you over sold an item that is not price error and you still selling it the customer have right to choose the item I think it is common sense(even sold by Amazon UK may fullfill by Amazon AU,or lower grade by Amazon UK)

      quality built tho the plate is a bonus :)

    • superdoedoe on 27/11/2022 - 17:59

      lemme know if you wanna sell it xd

  • ubcool on 29/11/2022 - 15:44

    arrived today looks boxed damaged but unused. The sony release plate is a bit fiddley and overkill considering its not a fluid head so you not likley to be moving it much. The sony mount would be far more useful on fluid/ video tripod. a bubble would be nice too but on the plus side its surprisingly sturdy for the weight . solid but but nothing special so you not missing out no too much.
