Benro GX30 Reviews

Multiple pan options on a solid base

By Rob
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-08-08

I haven't had a ball head with multiple pan options before. This has one on the base of the ball head and one above the ball head. That's not apparent at first glance. The ball head and base are also quite solid. If I had to do it over again, I might have purchased the GX35 to get a slightly larger radius ball head and diameter base. That's missing in the specs.

Overall, a good ballhead. I would buy it again. Stout, not heavy or huge for its strength, excellent knurled control knobs. Ball does get a little sticky sometimes, but not bad. As usual, B&H is perfect.

Will it can be use in Redged RTA-424 tripod legs?
Asked by: Juhi
Yes, the Benro GX30 Two Series Arca-Type Low Profile Aluminum Ball Head may be used on the Redged RTA-424 Steady 4-Section Aluminum Tripod. The Redged RTA-424 has a reversible 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 male threaded screw for attaching a tripod head, and the Benro GX30 Ball Head has a female 3/8"-16 threaded socket on the base of the ball head. The two units may be used with one another.

Will this head work on a Benro A2580F tripod legs?
Asked by: jaime
Yes, as the top of the center column of the (now discontinued) Benro Classic A2580F Aluminum Tripod has both 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 head attachment fitting screw threads, and as the base of the Benro GX30 Two Series Arca-Type Low Profile Aluminum Ball Head has a 3/8"-16" female threaded socket, the head and tripod would be compatible for use with one another.

Can this quick release plate be used on any head ...

Can this quick release plate be used on any head that claims to have an arca-type quick release? I'd like to have one tripod with a focusing rail head, and another tripod with a ball type head, but only one quick release plate for my camera body.
Asked by: Stephen
Yes the included PU56 Quick Release Plate is Arca Swiss compatible so it can be used with other heads that are also Arca Swiss compatible.

what is the diameter of the base of the ball head ...

what is the diameter of the base of the ball head ? would this to large to fit on a 3 legged thing winston 2 tripod ?
Asked by: Peyvand
Since the base of the Benro GX30 Two Series Arca-Type Low Profile Aluminum Ball Head is 47mm (1.85"), and the top of the 3 Legged Thing Winston 2 Tripod is 40mm, it will work, but there will be a little bit of overhang.
