Box Contains Mach 3 Series 4 Tripod, Carry Case, Short Centre Column, Spiked Feet & Tool Kit Review: Great legs at a reasonable price! - These are a great set of sturdy legs. Stability is good for astrophotography and are relatively light weight. Benro are a great company and the price is usually very reasonable! I have had this set for years now, and I'm very happy with them overall. The only minor complaints I have after years of us are; that one of the legs is slipping when I push down on it (can probably be fixed by stripping and clearing), and that the rubber feet have come loose and can no longer be unscrewed. Review: Quality Equipment at Value for Money Price - This tripod replaces my old Manfrotto 055ProB, which was just getting too heavy to lug around. This Benro is my first CF tripod, and I am thoroughly impressed. The 4 leg sections initially made me nervous, as I expected a 4 section, CF leg set to be not that stable. How wrong was I? This tripod is sturdy, solid, quality built and is easy to carry around. Some comments mention it is a "bit heavy", but this will depend on which head you place on it. Personally, I went for a ball head from Highlights, and the two complement each other perfectly. The tripod comes with a short centre column (aluminium) which I use all the time, a tool bag with interchangeable metal spikes, a quality carry case with strap - all very nicely presented and packaged. It is a quality product and it supports my Nikon DSLR with heavy zoom lenses from 14mm to 200mm. I am 6'2", and when my chosen ball head and camera is placed on top of the tripod (without any centre column extension), the camera is at eye level, without bending over at all. It's tall, and I love it!! ## Features - Benro TMA38CL Mach3 9x Carbon Tripod (without Head) - benro tma38cl mach3 9x carbon tripod (without head) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00YEU96GQ | | Audio Recording | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 447 in Complete Photography Tripod Units | | Box Contents | tripod | | Brand | Benro | | Brand Name | Benro | | Colour | r.blue | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Compatible devices | Camera | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 168 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium, Carbon Fibre | | Folded size | 13.98 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06931747334919 | | Head Type | Headless | | Item Length | 69.69 Inches | | Item Type Name | TMA38CL | | Item Weight | 4.52 Pounds | | Item weight | 4.52 Pounds | | Leg Diameter | 20 millimeters | | Manufacturer | Benro | | Manufacturer Part Number | TMA38CL | | Material | Aluminium , Carbon Fibre | | Maximum Height | 177 Centimetres | | Maximum Weight Capacity | 16 Kilograms | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Height | 35.5 Centimetres | | Model Name | TMA38CL | | Model Number | TMA38CL | | Number of leg sections | 4 | | Product Features | Bubble Level, Adjustable Feet | | Product Warranty | 2 Years | | Special feature | Bubble Level, Adjustable Feet | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Benro - **Colour:** r.blue - **Compatible devices:** Camera - **Item weight:** 4.52 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminium, Carbon Fibre - **Maximum height:** 177 Centimetres - **Model name:** TMA38CL - **Special feature:** Bubble Level, Adjustable Feet - **Tripod head type:** Headless - **Weight limit:** 16 Kilograms ## Images ![TMA38CL Mach3 9X Carbon Fibre Series 3 Long Tripod, 4 Section, Twist Lock (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614aPBj2FLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the benro mach3 tripod s3 carb 4 sect long come with a built in spirit level?** A: There is a bubble level mounted on the top casting where the 3 legs pivot, but you may also have levels on the head you use plus it's always good to have a level that mounts in the hotshoe of your camera - that way most bases are covered. **Q: Can long spikes be fitted to this model ?** A: Yes, It's got the threads from underneath. Also, the spikes are included with this **Q: Do you need to buy a head for it separately?** A: Hello.

This is very sturdy tall especially when the centre column is extended. The short column is also useful. Comes complete with a great storage bag only gripe is the bag is too small when my Benro geared head is fitted. Haven’t tried the spiked feet yet. ## Frequently Bought Together - Benro Mach3 Long Carbon Fiber 3 Series Tripod (TMA38CL) - Benro 3-Way Geared Head (GD3WH) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/50631341-tma38cl-mach3-9x-carbon-fibre-series-3-long-tripod-4](https://www.desertcart.us/products/50631341-tma38cl-mach3-9x-carbon-fibre-series-3-long-tripod-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
