International orders*The Benro Versatile C2970F 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod features a center column that can be raised out of the chassis so you can pivot and swivel it into almost any position. You can swivel the column 360° and tilt it up to 180° – perfect for capturing low-to-the-ground shots and for performing macro photography at any angle.
The C2970F reaches a maximum height of 66.9" and supports loads up to 26.4 lb, making it suited for medium-format cameras and DSLRs outfitted with zoom lenses. The lightweight 8-layer carbon fiber legs help keep the tripod's weight down to only 3.6 lb. The anti-rotation legs feature user-adjustable flip locks to ensure their reliable operation over the long term.
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. In configurations with the center column pivoted low, the loop on the magnesium chassis can be used to suspend a weight.

Comments about Benro Versatile C2970F 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod:
Bought this tripod for taking portrait. It is very well made and the carbon fiber is beautiful. You can hear and feel the air swooshing out of the legs when folding them, which indicates tight tolerance (water and dust resistance). The tripod is tall enough for a 6 foot person, without the center column extended. With a Markins Q20 ballhead attached, it can easily support a Nikon D90 with battery pack and a 70-200mm f/2.8. Even better, it came with metal spikes, tools, strap, and carrying bag. This tripod is a perfect alternative to the more expensive Italian-made one.
