aluminum version weighs ~ 1.4kg, 1.1kg carbon in that, then yes it is light, but there is, in my opinion too many sacrifices.
of its weight it will not perfectly stable in high winds, but that is the goal, it is light because it serves for travel, so not as main tripod.
light weight also will impact on another important feature: its resistance, the problem is that if you weigh down the tripod with a stone bag or backpack (not that flies) necessarily decrease the allowable load , being confined to 4kg, this leaves you little leeway (so if you're on hybrid, provide for heavy lens used is not advised beforehand)
4kg provided for the ball enough, or you still would sacrifice weight and anyway, this tripod is for compact (read here hybrid bridge ect ... so small sensor).
Another thing too is its height, with just 1.40m, he is really small, this height is recommended not to lose stability, so it will reduce around 1m10 or 1m30, is high enough if you shoot sitting, but it can be problematic for everything photo with a barrier in front, being so low, there is a large chance that the barrier effect is blocking your view.
CONCLUSION: a good tripod for compact, but avoided SLR.
FOR REFLEX:
if you look for a compact tripod in the range manfrotto SLR and travel, MT190CXPRO4 (2014) (mini size maximum 52.5 cm, weight 1.65 kg, 7kg load, max height 160 cm) is the leading opponent of befree since 2013 was almost the same weight.
--------------
CAUTION:
a ball must be added if you take it without and thus ~ 1kg more, but you will also won his ten centimeter.
--------------
it supports almost double the burden 12cm most is in my opinion the best compromise for tripod travel / SLR in manfrotto even if its carbon price is much higher
and finally for those who are not looking for spending remains the gitzo brand (acquired by manfrotto) but is closer to 1000 euros for the tripod, but there you have what is does best.
if that comment helped you thank you noted, if not left me a note if something is wrong, and I will answer you.
