Remember the Essentials
A tripod head is required and not included with these legs. Be sure you purchase a tripod head to attach to your camera.
The Benro Classic A3580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod is a lightweight, sturdy support for a medium-format camera or a DSLR outfitted with a long telephoto lens, with a maximum load capacity of 33 lb. With the center column and the four leg sections fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 69.3".
The A3580F includes several professional features that ensure its stability, such as user-adjustable flip locks on the legs. Locking screws in the top plate provide an extra level of security and stability when attaching a head (not included). A hook at the bottom of the center column allows you to hang a counterweight from the tripod's center of gravity for increased stability, especially in windy conditions or with uneven loads.
- Adjustable Leg Angles
- The legs can be independently locked into place at three different angles to enable shooting on irregular surface areas or at ground level
- Anti-Rotation Legs with Quick Locks
- Tripod height can be set easily by flipping the quick-lock leg levers. Combined with anti-rotation legs, this enables fast setup without fumbling
- Rubber and Stainless Steel Spiked Feet
- The tripod comes with both rubber feet and stainless steel spiked feet that screw in and out of the leg
- Foam Grip on One Leg
- A thick layer of closed-cell nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) provides a comfortable yet firm grip when carrying your Benro tripod, and it mitigates the effects of extreme heat and cold
- Wingnut-Style Column Lock
- A wingnut-style center column-locking knob allows for secure height adjustments on the fly, with intuitive execution
- Reversible Center Column
- The center column, which is grooved to prevent rotation, is removable and reversible so that you can mount a camera as close to the ground as possible
- Spirit Level & Compass
- Built into the chassis are a spirit level that helps keep your camera squared off and level with your subject, and a built-in compass that indicates directional orientation
- Carry Case & Shoulder Strap
- Benro carrying cases and straps are made of high-quality, durable materials to provide maximum protection for your tripod and head (not included). The included shoulder strap doubles as a tripod-carrying strap – just slip the strap's lasso around the legs and, at the other end of the strap, attach the clip to the loop on the tripod's magnesium chassis

Comments about Benro Classic A3580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod:
This tripod is solid, stable and light. I see no reason to spend three times as much for the carbon fiber version and not even save a pound of weight. It supports my camera and lens on a gimbal mount better than any other I have tried. And at an effective 896mm focal length I can easily tell if a tripod isn't solid. This one is a real steal.
