Benro Classic A0580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod
The Benro Classic A0580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod is a lightweight, sturdy support for a point & shoot or DSLR camera, with a maximum load capacity of 8.8 lb. With the center column and the four leg sections fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 56.3".
The A0580F 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 A0580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod:
I've used this tripod on tripods and at home and found it easy to use, easy to
transport. It sets up quickly, level easily and it's light yet solid. Time will tell, but I'm happy

Comments about Benro Classic A0580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod:
I was looking for a lightweight, versatile tripod that would be good enough for travel, as well as the trail and really found it here in the A0580F. It's one of the few that had a wt. below 3lbs, and still held decent wt. gear, including my beefy Sigma 70-200 EX.
I also like that like that the center column inverts.
I paired this with the Benro BH1 ballhead for extra stability.

Comments about Benro Classic A0580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod:
This tripod is a very good product for the money. It is well made with a number of features usually only found in higher priced tripods. Put a good ballhead on it and you will be ready to take great pictures.
I will still use my full size tripod when I need to but I can see this one becoming my new favorite when traveling, biking or camping.

Comments about Benro Classic A0580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod:
I use this tripod whenever I have to travel and can't carry my regular one with me. Quite honestly this little device is practically as useful as any other full size tripod I own. The built is solid and although the legs get quite thin it remains relatively stiff. Additionally the top post can be reversed and the base is equipped with a small level and a compass.
