Benro Mach3 TMA27A Reviews

Top of tripod separated from center column

By Kurt
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-10

This seemed like a pretty good tripod for the money. I had it a month until it had issues. The head of the tripod, where the camera sits, completely separated from the center column. It looks like it's only attached with an adhesive. I had just barely caught my camera. Not worth the price when your equipment is on the line.

Nice

Replaced my much heavier SLIK tripod with this. It's stable and I love the twist locks. They are fast to use and have no levers to catch on anything or pinch my fingers. Perfect height for me as well.

This tripod with a head attached GD3WH can be placed in a bag, what comes with the kit?
Asked by: Andrey
The Benro TMA27A Tripod includes a tripod bag, strap, allen key for leg joint tensioning, a flat wrench for the tripod head screw nut, and 3 spikes for the feet. The case can fit with typicall ballheads, however the handles protruding slightly from the Benro GD3WH Geared Head may prevent it from fitting in the case together. Hope this helps.

question

Does this tripod legs comes with padded bag which has room for head?
Asked by: Jonathan
No, it does not. According to Benro, cases included with tripod legs by themselves are only designed to support the tripod legs, and will not fit a tripod with a head mounted. Benro tripods sold with heads as a kit would already allow for the additional length of the head. As the Benro TMA27A Series 2 Mach3 Aluminum Tripod, B&H # BETMA27A MFR # TMA27A, listed above does not include a head, and as such, the included case would not fit a head; it would fit the tripod only. Benro states the included case's dimensions are 4.33 x 4.33 x 30.30 in in size.
