Benro S Series Video Head Reviews

Good for spotting scopes

By Thomas
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-09-07

I have a Kowa TSN 88, a four pound and a bit spotting scope for birding. My old head could not deal with the weight - I’d lock it in and the scope would droop. The Benro S4Pro locks and stays put. It pans and tilts smoothly. The knobs for locking pan and tilt are next to each other - my fingers find them easily without having to look for them, and the handle adjusts to any position one might want. The spring loaded feature that returns it to level is proving useful - it’s nice to not have the scope nod off if I step away. The construction is robust - not a plastic throw away model. Worth the money imho.

This is damaged,

It has missing g screws. Scratches and the leveler bubble isn't functioning properly, with bad qualityglue. When I do 360 turn it has a place when it does like a stop movement it isn't completely smooth
