Q: 9. Can you tell me if the Manfrotto BeFree Live Kit will work with the Manfrotto Q2 L Bracket on a Nikon D7200 camera to easily switch between horizontal and vertical on the tripod?Thanks so much for your time!

A: The Q2 L Bracket uses 200PL-14 Type QR Plates, which are not compatible with the BeFree Live Video's 501PL system. Instead you would want to look at Q5 L Bracket, B&H # MAQ5LB, which has 501PL quick release plates on it.https://bhpho.to/2iheHB2

Q: 10. Does the Befree Live Video Tripod come with a carbon fiber legs option?

A: No, but you can buy the carbon fiber legs and the Be Free video head separately, but you will pay a lot more for only a slight weight difference. Also, the carbon legs don't have the ball-joint between the fluid head and legs. That was the main selling point for me. The ability to adjust the head for level pans instead of messing with the hight of each leg. For me that's really what makes it a video tripod.
