Benro Rhino Three Series Tripod with VX30 Bal... Reviews

Aerospace-grade Benro Tripod is a Hit

By Thomas
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-07

I upgraded to this tripod from a sub $100 tripod I got from another online retailer. The difference in build quality is unreal. My old tripod had plastic all through the tripod mixed with aluminum. My new Benro has no plastic used in its construction, just carbon fiber legs with an aluminum spider. It’s impressive to look at and even more impressive to hold and handle. I feel like I have a custom tripod made just for me. The attention to detail in this Benro Rhino is top-tier. I am not joking when I say this Benro Rhino can last me for 20 to 30 years easily.

Great Compact Tripod

I have several Bogan and Gitzo tripods already and needed a new one for my photographers. This is a great tripod for an even better price, less than half the Gitzo. Very light, sturdy and covers a great range of heights.

Can this tripod be used with a gimbal head as well? Id like to use it for both the ball head and potentially a gimble head in the future but im not sure how well the gimble head would mount on the center column?
Asked by: Stephen
Yes. Simply remove the attached ballhead to reveal a 3/8"-16 mounting screw that can be used with your gimbal head. While it would mount without issue, take precaution when using larger gimbals/lenses/bodies as travel tripods are typically not strong robust enough to handle larger systems during bird/wildlife photographer well.

Can the center column be removed and a ball head ...

Can the center column be removed and a ball head installed without the center column in place? Thx.
Asked by: Robert
A center column is required for use with the Benro Rhino Carbon Fiber Three Series Travel Tripod. You cannot use the Rhino tripod as a tripod without the center column. If you are looking for a Benro tripod that does not have a center column, the Benro Tortoise Columnless Carbon Fiber Three Series Tripod with GX35 Ball Head, B&H # BETOR35CGX35, would instead be recommended for your usage needs.
