Review: Incredible travel tripod - super light and compact - 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.
Review: Hard to beat at this price! - Light, yet strong, camera tripod; well made, versatile set of features, and at a superb price, especially for carbon fibre. Packs down into a suitably compact size for travel, in the supplied drawstring bag. Articulation of the legs is a useful feature. A great competitor for my heavier (and bulkier) Manfrotto!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this fit into a cabin luggage and support my 5D3 with an wide angle set up for long bulb exposures?**
A: I have one of these and it is an excellent tripod. It should fit into cabin luggage as it is 51cm long and most cabin luggage is a maximum of 56cm.  It can support 4kg so it should cope with your camera set up especially if you hang a weight on the middle hook. It may struggle with a long heavy lens mounted on your camera. I have been very happy with mine although I do use a mirrorless set up. I hope this helps.

**Q: is this tripod compatible with an iphone 6s?**
A: Yes but you must use cage or support for iphone 6S with.

**Q: Can the legs be disassembled for cleaning?**
A: I don't think so - possibly the legs can be removed - but I'm not going to risk it - not mentioned in the user manual - can be cleaned fairly easy without taking it apart

**Q: Can the ball head be removed?**
A: Yes it can, it just has a standard 2/3" thread on the legs so most heads can be fitted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light and cheap for carbon but with compromises
*by A***O on 5 March 2020*

You're probably thinking about buying this because it's very light in weight and yet relatively cheap. That's why I bought it. It's not quite 'feather-light' but it's so light that you'll hardly notice it if you have it around your neck all day or attached to a backpack. The carbon fibre legs look and feel quite cool too. Carbon fibre! Now you're a pro. And actually, it's fine. It's easy and quick to set up, and comes with a small and slim quick-release plate to screw into your camera and leave on while you're shooting. There's a bubble level on the top of the ball head but it's obscured when you put the camera on it so is a bit useless. I use my camera's level meter instead. I find the lever that locks the ball head in place quite good. No problems with my Olympus E-M1 and 12–100 zoom, which is a moderately heavy combo. No creep. And you can splay the legs right out to get low. At full height it's fine unless you're tall. The tripod takes a while to settle down when you press the shutter, especially with the centre column raised. I'd say it's really pretty wobbly. But it's okay if you use a long self-timer or some kind of remote release. What I don't like about the ball head is that rotation and angle are both handled by one lever, so it's no good for panoramas and useless for video. There's a panorama angle guide on the ball head but I don't know why it's there really. It comes with a reasonable bag with rope straps. Although it's very slim, and of course light, it's still quite long. But you can remove the ball head easily to make it shorter for packing. Really, you'll buy this if you want carbon fibre on a budget. Its weight/price ratio is excellent. You could fit a better ball head to make it more usable if you feel the need. My other (cheaper) tripod is a K+F Concept, and it's in almost every way a better tripod. But it weighs twice as much. The Benro's light weight makes the compromise more or less acceptable.
