Support up to 26.5 lb worth of gear with the TMA27A Series 2 Mach3 Aluminum Tripod from Benro. Made from aluminum, the 3-section legs are secured via twist locks and extend to a maximum height of 63.6". The center column can be replaced with the included short column to allow the tripod to reach a minimum height of 15.2". One of the legs unscrews from the tripod, attaches to the center column, and with the addition of an optional head converts to a monopod. The rubber feet can be swapped out for metal spikes so that the tripod can be used on hard surfaces, such as ice, or soft surfaces, like carpeting or a lawn. A ballast hook on the center column allows for the addition of stabilizing weight, and the included carrying case protects the tripod during transport. A 3/8"-16 threaded stud on the mounting platform lets you attach a head of your choice.

Benro Mach3 TMA27A Reviews
I bought to mount the SkyWatcher Virtuoso telescope
I bought to mount the SkyWatcher Virtuoso telescope as a tripod for my SLR is totally inadequate for the mass and size of the 'scope and mount. This work great. It is light weight and small when collapsed. The bubble level makes it easy to setup. After going thru the setup for the 'scope, the 'scope mount tracks perfectly for viewing purposes. I have tried any astrophotography. so I can't comment on how it works for that. While not as rigid as a pier, this is a good portable solution. It arrived on time and in good condition. Would buy it a again for the same purpose. For someone wanting to use it for normal photography, a ball head or similar mount will be required.
Well Designed
I'm very happy with this tripod. I love the twist release on the legs. My previous tripod had the flip locks which I didn't like and constantly pinched my fingers. The center column is smooth and the large knuckle is easy and efficient to use. It's light enough to be portable but sturdy and solid. I would recommend.
