Comments about Benro Classic A1580F 4-Section Aluminum Tripod:
I needed a compact and lighter-weight tripod for my landscape and night photography. Although this style is not as strong as my old tripod, I needed to lighten up my total payload when traveling. This tripod will be adequate especially since I can hang my camera bag under the tripod for more stability. Also, I wanted a tripod with flip locks on the legs.
