Asked by: Pierre
Yes, Benro VX20 Two Series Arca-Type Aluminum Ball Head is fully compatible with Benro TMA28A Series 2 Mach3 Aluminum Tripod. The screw and thread on both base mounts are the same size 3/8-16 and you can use the tripod base mount locking mechanism.

One of your user feedbacks says it's not a true arca swiss head. So does that mean you cannot use with any other arca swiss accessory? Be good to clarify the difference between arca swiss and 'arca type'. Cheers
Asked by: Marc
Benro VX20 is supposed to follow the arca standard. It could be that the head that reviewer received is defective or the Small Rig cage they are using is defective.
