compare t-1005x with Manfrotto Befree,

any difference? 

I know Manfrotto Befree is two times expensive but how is it when compare?

More depends on equipment on the tripod. Is it heavy? Do you have heavy long zoom lens? Video? If doing video, you may want to invest in panning tripod than ball head. Dont buy light tripod for heavy equipment or else not stable or rigid.

Good question to ponder.

My shooting style primarily for landscapes with wide lens. Occasionally. i use zoom lense like canon 70-200mm F4.

That looks heavy. Travelling tripod might not be enough if the tripod load capacity is too small. There should be a info sheet for the model you seek detailing head load capacity and tripod load capacity before you purchase. Unless the lens has the mount hole, you may have spend extras on unique head that allow centre of gravity adjustment.

Bring ur camera with heaviest load and test first see if it shake or move at slighest bump or when shutter operates.
