Perfect heavy duty tripod! High quality build. Easy to deploy three leg design with clamp locks. Great for heavy gear (big lenses and video). My go to tripod for Astro Photography. Great for panoramas as well.

Tripod for my telescope

By Bill

Date: 2023-03-08

I needed a tripod for my telescope. I bought the scope used and when I tried to set it up for the first time, one of the pins on the tripod had rusted through and it crashed onto the concrete (not good). So I needed a new tripod that wouldn't cost $2000, would support the weight (16 lbs), didn't have a bunch of extension claps (try manipulating a bunch of them while holding an odd shaped scope) and also had a connecting screw that would match the bottom of the scope. It succeeded in all categories. Couldn't be more pleased.

would these legs be good pair with the Manfrotto XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with 200PL-14 Plate(model MHXPRO-BHQ2) ?
Asked by: Alex
I have not used that particular head on my tripod but I see no reason why the combination would not work effectively. I use my tripod with a video head to support a spotting scope for birdwatching. For a relatively light weight tripod it is nice and sturdy. Legs are easy to adjust.

Does this come with the head in the picture or do I need to buy a separate head?
Asked by: Tiffany
A tripod head is not included with the purchase of the Benro TAD27A Series 2 Adventure Aluminum Tripod, B&H # BETAD27A. The tripod head, Canon DSLR camera, and Canon lens pictured as options and to display the tripod in usage. If you are looking for a 3-Way Pan Head for use with the tripod, I would recommend either the Benro HD3A 3-Way Panhead, B&H # BEHD3A, or the Benro HD1A 3-Way Panhead, B&H # BEHD1A, depending on the amount of weight you plan to support and/or your budget.

what is the difference between the Benro TAD27A and the TAD28A?
Asked by: Terry
The difference is in the sections. TAD27A is 3 sections and TAD28A is 4 sections. Having more sections allows the TAD28A to fold smaller to 20.7 inches so it is easier to carry. TAD28A is 2.4 inches smaller in the maximum height though. Some photographers feel that having more sections does not stabilize the tripod as well in a long exposure with wind for example.

Would this be a good choice to pair with the Oben GH-30 gimbal? I am planning on using it with a Nikon 200-500 zoom.
Asked by: Keith
Yes, the Oben GH-30 Gimbal Head (B&H # OBGH30) will pair well with the Benro TAD27A Series 2 Adventure Aluminum Tripod to support telephoto lenses.

Does it also come with spike feet?
Asked by: Kristin
No, the Benro TAD27A Series 2 Adventure Aluminum Tripod has rubber feet. You could get the Benro Stainless Steel Spike Feet (Set of 3), BH #BESPFT1, to convert the feet to spiked feet.
