Benro Tortoise One Series Tripod with GX25 Ba... Reviews

Very Impressive Performance!

I bought this Benro Tortoise GX25 to be a travel tripod, replacing several cheaper and lighter models from other brands. In short, I am blown away by the design, build quality, functioning smoothness, and especially the value for price of this tripod. The legs travel so smoothly through their range and lock confidently. The ballhead is so well thought out - especially the ability to operate a panning setting from ABOVE the ball, so you can have a better-leveled panorama. I've owned maybe 4-5 different brands of tripods over the decades of photography. Prior to buying this Benro I went to an extreme to buy. what I hoped would be a high quality option. I purchased another more well known brand's tripod (name starts with a 'G'), that cost twice as much as this Benro, but returned it, being unimpressed with it. Even if the two were the same price, I'd still choose the Benro for all the reasons I mentioned earlier. This is a truly impressive travel tripod.
