Thanks for posting. I’ve added the price and merchant to the title.
Here’s a ‘Help’ link which gives tips and advice on thread posting.

Very good deal for a branded make, I was tempted by the Chinese Carbon or the Amazon's version which hovers around £70. This makes it so tempting!

Any reviews on this with a DSLR weight?

I have just spent a month travelling around South India with the non-red version of this BeFree tripod (build is exactly the same, just different colour), and it is great! I used a Nikon D7100 with battery grip and a tokina 11-16mm f2.8 wideangle lens and also sigma 17-50mm f2.8, both not light lenses. But it won't be good for a large telephoto lens as the ballhead is not rated for more than about 5kgs. But as a compact travel tripod it is quite sturdy and very portable. I would definitely reccomend it.

I have this and a Chinese carbon one from amazon.
I have to say this tripod gets used as a backup for me as I am 6"2 and this only extends to 130 cms (Chinese carbon one extends to 155 cms) which is very below eye-level for me so a deal breaker to be hunched over all of the time then shooting with it. This is heavier and bulkier than the Amazon carbon alternatives and is the same in terms of sturdiness and I much prefer the Chinese head to this. Add on the fact that you can use the carbon one as a mono-pod and invert it then this get left at home a lot or used as a light-stand.
To answer you question about what weight it can take. I have a Canon 7Dmk2 and I have put my Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 on there with the 7D body so thats just under 5KG's and it was fine, however this was using a collar on the lens so the weight was over the middle of the tripod. I wouldn't have all of that weight out in front as its not stable enough IMO for that.
I am sure the metal construction will take more of a beating than the carbon one from china, however I value portability and versatility over being more resilient to damage from side impacts.
Hope this helps someone.

You can get one for £65 but slow Chinese mail vs the £90 from Amazon prime - but I've seen that going as low as £75.
After looking at the height of this, and the review above, I am leaning for the Chinese carbon...
