Benro Classic C3580F 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod
The Benro Classic C3580F 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is a lightweight, sturdy support for a medium format camera or a DSLR outfitted with a long telephoto lens, with a maximum load capacity of 39.6 lb. With the center column and the four leg sections fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 70.9".
Despite its height and high load capacity, the C3580F weighs just 4.1 lb. The tripod includes several professional features that ensure its stability, such as user-adjustable flip locks on its 8-layer carbon fiber 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

We carried the tripod across the country and are very pleased with its lightweightness and ease of operation. It is sturdy yet light. We have one very heavy lens and are glad it can take it easily.

Comments about Benro Classic C3580F 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod:
I first became familiar with Beno by purchasing the Beno Travel Tripod for a trip to Colorado Springs. I needed a good tripod to carry on the plane with me. Needless to say it is a great product and I use it as my primary tripod. I hiked the Smokey Mountains the Spring of 2011 and wanted a tripod that was taller, very sturdy, and light weight to carry around on the trails. I decided to upgrade to a Carbon Fiber Tripod and chose the Benro Classic C3580F. I am a landscape and wildlife photographer (Serious-Amateur) and I shoot with the Nikon D700 and the Canon 7D. Both heavy cameras when using long lenses. Fully extended without raising the center post and the tripod puts the camera right at my eye. (I am 6ft) The legs open quickly and is unbelievable sturdy. What blows me away is when open it is a breeze to carry around. I swear it appears to weigh less when open than when collapsed. Well worth the price and I recommended this brand and this product.
