The tripod is light and well made. Comes with a nice carrying case and converts to monopod quickly...a nice added feature. May be a bit light for very heavy gear.

Comments about Benro C-2691 Travel Angel Carbon Fiber Tripod with B1 Ballhead:
This is a great tripod tha will save you easily about $300 bucks compared to a similar Gitzo. Made sturdily, light weight and comes with the a ball head with a quick release. Sweet deal. Easy to use, and no problems. Doesn't feel cheap at all. Proud of myself for not buying the more expensive one just because it has the name behind it. Sometimes bargain deals really are so. The head is okay. You might opt for a better ball head with the tripod. But, this is a great deal.

Comments about Benro C-2691 Travel Angel Carbon Fiber Tripod with B1 Ballhead:
Benro has come a long long way since its humble beginnings. In the past I bought Benro because I couldn't afford Gitzo and the quality really did show: the twist locks were stiff and the large ballhead slipped under a slight load (100-400L at 400mm with 1D3). It wasnt obvious, but Benro was definitely subpar.
Now however, I buy Benro because there really is no point paying so much if you can get the same quality at half the price. The twist locks are smooth and lock tight and there is almost no flex at all in the legs (of course if you put a heavy camera lens combination the last segments flex ever so slightly but it's literally not noticeable).
The refinement in Benro technology has brought them up close to the level of Gitzo. It is not a cheap buy, but its more than worth every penny!

No complaint whatsoever! I used it with my Nikon D300 and a 17-55mm f/2.8 lens with very steady result. A quality Benro product.

Comments about Benro C-2691 Travel Angel Carbon Fiber Tripod with B1 Ballhead:
The quality of a Gitzo tripod at half the cost.
I've found this to be the perfect tripod to travel with. It's ultra-light weight, holds plenty of gear/lenses and is super sturdy.
In fact, I've actually started using this when I'm shooting locally since it's just so easy to take with me and there's nothing I'm giving up when using it.
I couldn't recommend highly enough.

Comments about Benro C-2691 Travel Angel Carbon Fiber Tripod with B1 Ballhead:
This tripod is very sturdy but really light weight. I like the fact that it has a lot of height, over my head with a 7d attached. compact when folded up, comes with spike feet in the bag, which is a plus and can turn one leg into a monopod, although I haven't tried that yet. Great tripod for travel or all around use. It is the only tripod i need.

Comments about Benro C-2691 Travel Angel Carbon Fiber Tripod with B1 Ballhead:
I used it on my recent trip to Luray Caverns and the Washington DC monuments. The B-1 head supported my D80 + 18-200 lens with no problems. There was no "give" at all once the head is locked in. The twist lock system took a little more time to set up than my old flip lock tripod but it was not a big problem. It is light and small when folded and I love the ability to put it in my carry-on luggage. The included tripod bag is nicely built. The tripod feels very substantial. I have not yet tried the monopod feature.
