Benro Slim Carbon fibre tripod kit with N00 ball head

I saw one of these in a store and thought the price must have been mis-marked; no way could there be a Benro CF tripod that inexpensive! I didn't buy it then, but later purchased through Amazon and I could not be happier. I've used a full size Benro for a few years and love it, but wanted something smaller for travel as airlines seem to get more difficult each day with weight and size. Like other Benro models, the build quality is outstanding, and all the mechanisms work with smoothness and precision. The ball head is great for photography and allows quick and accurate positioning of the camera (but other head choices would be better for video). I've found that I much prefer the circular leg clamps used by Benro over lever clamps used on some manufacturers - you can unlock all three clamps on a leg with one hand and one quick motion. The tripod folds compactly and fits nicely inside a carryon or I can strap it onto the side of my small camera day pack. Although I really like my full size Benro, I imagine it will end up staying in the closet and I'll take this little one instead for occasional excursions. The best tripod is the one that you have with you, and this travel model is much more likely to be at hand. Overall, it's a well built, low weight, compact tripod perfect for those who travel or want something light but don't want to give up the build quality and operation of a much more expensive model.

Excelente custo e beneficio

Precioso tripié , mucha estabilidad y peso ultraligero, fácil de manejar

できれば、もう一段軽いと嬉しい！ でもパーツカラーがやっぱり可愛い。 照明も天井側に伸ばす必要ない時はコチラを使っています。手元に置くための機能として手頃だし可愛い。 そして可愛い。

I own the Benro TMA38CL Mach3 Carbon tripod and was looking for something more compact and lighter when travelling or hiking. Positives Super lightweight, Great twist lock mechanism (smooth and no need to twist for ages to tighten) - Great for throwing in check in luggage when travelling abroad. - Great for strapping to backpack when going on a hike (So light and small) Negatives Ball head supplied with tripod is basic and one tension switch to control all movement but this is fine for this price > 100£ for a CF travel tripod. Wasn't expecting miracles. The bottom leg section is very thin and prone to flexing. Id recommend not to use it on unstable ground and instead work lower to the ground or extend the centre column slightly. Overall very impressed with this tripod. Once adapted with a sturdier ball head (i use the Benro B2) It holds its own. If you are looking a travel tripod - BUY THIS.
