Benro Tortoise Two Series Tripod with GX30 Ba... Reviews

Great lightweight set

By Dave
Rated 5 out of 5

I have been using a very heavy gitzo studded 320 tripod with an Arca Swiss head. Those are great for larger gear. I recently switched to shooting with Leica’s. This is a perfect lightweight setup for a smaller camera. The GX 30 head is great for Leica. If you’re going to shoot with something much heavier than that, you will probably need a larger head. The series two tripod is very sturdy and light. It can be lowered very close to the ground due to not having a center shaft. Great to travel with! Very versatile!

Great Tripod

Overall I am very happy with this tripod which was meant to replace my Benro Slim as I needed a sturdier setup while not not adding too much weight or size for traveling and long hikes. The ball head works well too even with my Sony E 70-350mm lens fully extended.

Is this capable of handling a FF mirrorless body plus a telephoto lens such as a 70-200 2.8? A reviewer was concerned about the capacity of the head.
Asked by: Ignacio
Yes it is a very strong head with friction control and able to handle a telephoto lens such as 70-200 2.8. Please check here the listing for the head only and there is another review here which is positive. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1576684-REG/benro_gx30_three_series_arca_swiss.html
