The Benro A-158EX Tripod Legs are a sensible choice in a no-nonsense tripod for those just wanting good support, speedy use, and compact folded dimensions (19" 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-158EX has 24mm diameter upper leg segments and provides a 'working height' of 50.8", meaning that it can comfortably support an SLR at a height that won't hurt your back even if you leave the column fully collapsed.
The A-158EX is officially rated to support 13.2 lbs (6kg), and Benro recommends it for SLRs with lenses of up to 200mm focal length.
The A-158EX'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 only 3.4 lbs (1.6kg).
