The Benro A-058EX Tripod Legs are a sensible choice in a no-nonsense tripod for those just wanting good support, speedy use, and compact folded dimensions (17.7" in this case). This isn't a tripod for doing a lot of extremely-low-height shooting or pointing towards the ground or directly underneath the tripod; it is just a solid 4-section 'flip lock' aluminum model, with enough of the creature comforts to make a vacation a little more pleasant. The A-058EX has a 20mm maximum upper leg segment diameter and provides a 'working height' of 46.5", stats which equate to it being just right for a small SLR kit and a steady nearly-eye-level experience.
The A-058EX is officially rated to support 8.8 lbs (4kg), and Benro recommends it for smaller-sized SLRs with a lens of up to 100mm focal length.
The A-058EX's flip-lever leg locks are of the newest technology, and provide reliable and fast use with just a small motion necessary. Benro also has developed a rigid aluminum tubing that's just 1.2mm thick, which along with the extensive use of magnesium in the castings allows this tripod to weigh just 2.6 lbs (1.2kg).
