Great value tripod

Great value tripod that includes the head. I needed a tripod that fits in my suitcase and this one fits perfectly. It is solid without being too heavy.

Nice addition to my tripod family. The folded size is perfect for packing/hiking/carrying (which is what I was looking for), the extended size is a perfect height for me (Im 54), and the ball head works great--no creep. So far, I havent had any issues with stability and it easily supports a d750 with a 24-70 or 105mm lens. And although I have yet to use it, I love the option of having a monopod should I need one.

Yes it comes with a plate. Yes you can attach a video camera to it; however you probably would want to get a head more suited to the needs of video.

What is the closed height? Benro's site shows this model is 20inch closes, but specs on BH shows 15inch.
Asked by: Perry
The box it comes in is about 17", so the tripod can't be larger than that. The tripod is 15.7".

Is it coming with quick release plate? also, can you attach video camera to this tripod?
Asked by: Thomas
Yes, it does come with an excellent 60mm long Arca type QR plate with 1/4-20 screw, 2 captive screws and rubber pads for a secure fit. It should be possible to mount a video camera that would accept the above screw and is within the load limits. Biju

Can this setup hold an Arri Amira with Ultra prime package at about 15lb all put together?
Asked by: Jaret
The Benro Tripster Travel Tripod (2 Series, Black, Carbon Fiber) can hold such a setup. However, this is a photo tripod, and we would recommend a video tripod instead.

Would this tripod securely hold a d810 with a 24-70 f2.8?
Asked by: Susan
Yes it can but may not be the best choice for stability. I've shot with my D850 on it without issue but had to be careful and definitely didn't extend the center column.
