Q: 1. I would like to use this tripod for night photography as well as for video. Is the tripod sufficiently steady for exposures up to 30 seconds?

A: While it is of course imperative that you have a tight, strong (8.8lbs payload) tripod like the Manfrotto Befree Live Video Tripod, it is even more important that you apply correct long exposure techniques. If you do not, you will defeat the steadiness of any tripod. For long exposures outside at night I would suggest the following to avoid sharpness killing vibration: 1. Keep the center column down. 2. Use a timer or wireless remote. 3. Remove or tie down the camera shoulder strap to prevent it flapping in the wind. 4. Hang from the hook on the bottom of the BeFrees center column your camera bag, a gallon jug or a nylon bag with rocks or a rope that you step on. 5. Shoot with the mirror up. Apply all these techniques to the BeFree and you will come back with sharp pictures.
