The 4.4 lb Befree GT XPRO Aluminum Travel Tripod with 496 Center Ball Head from Manfrotto is a 4-section support with the twist M-Lock leg system that quickly unlocks with a 90° turn, enabling you to extend the legs along with the rapid center column to a maximum height of 64.6". The ergonomic leg-angle button disengages the legs, so you can splay the legs at different heights, and you can completely splay the legs out to a minimum height of 3.5" for low-angle or macro photography. At the same time, the built-in 90° column mechanism allows you to pull the center column out and slide it back in on its side, letting you shoot right over your subject.

Is this model too far away from the MT055XPRO ...
Is this model too far away from the MT055XPRO series or is it worth paying extra and going with the latter?
The Manfrotto Befree GT XPRO Aluminum Travel Tripod with 496 Center Ball Head (B&H# MAMKBFRA4GTX) (henceforth called the Befree), and the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod are both good options, albeit of different sizes. The Befree is smaller, has compact twist-locks on its legs, reaches a maximum height of 64.6" (164cm), and folds down to just 16.9" (43cm). In contrast, the MT055XPRO3 is taller and features surer but bulkier flip-locks on its legs, all while standing at up to 70.8" (180cm) and folding down to 27.9" (71cm) for storage. As its name implies, the Befree is typically considered a better option for travel while the MT055XPRO3 will be preferred by many for general use.
