Benro IB1 Reviews

Excellent ball head!

By Richard

This is an excellent tripod head for my camera and birding scope, and at a very fair price. I purchased the larger IB1 head, but probably would have been fine with the smaller IB0 model. Consider both when making a decision.

It was a great ball head but it only last 11 months before breaking on a trip. When i contacted benro all they said was that i had to pay to ship it and once they receive it they will tell me how much it would cost to fix it. This in unacceptable, i used to love benro but i think they lost a customer

question

Will this fit a Nikon D7100?
Asked by: Justin N.
Justin:Unless your cam weighs more than 17.6 lbs (not likely) and DOES NOT have a 1/4 -20 tripod screw hole (also not likely) in the bottom then it'll work.fine. (The screw hole is pretty standard on most (all?) DSLRs and other camera types, too.) What you might want to put on the bottom of your camera is an L-bracket so you can easily attach the cam to the tripod head since the head uses an Arca-type plate. Talk to customer service to get the right bracket for you camera.
