Benro S2Pro Tripod System Overview

The Aero 2 PRO Aluminum Travel Video Tripod with Flip Locks, featuring aluminum tripod legs, is one of Benro's most compact tripods, designed for travel and easy storage and carry. Although small, it offers a substantial height range of 21.3 to 65" with the center column extended. The legs are easily locked and released via flip locks on each of the three stages of this 4-section tripod.

The Aero 2 PRO is built for compact cameras and supports payloads up to 5.5 lb. It offers vertical tilt movement and a full 360° pan range, and it has independent pan and tilt locks, so you can set your camera into a locked position when you need to. The tripod legs are adjustable into multiple preset angles.

Convertible to Monopod
The Aero 2 PRO can also be converted into a monopod. One of the tripod legs is removable and can be combined with the center column to turn the system into a monopod, which can be useful in many mobile applications. To set it up this way, simply remove the tripod head along with the center column, unscrew one of the tripod legs, and attach it to the center column.
Reversible Folding Design
The Aero 2 PRO has a reversible design wherein the tripod legs fold backs when you're ready to pack the tripod away. When the tripod is reversed this way, the folded length becomes only 25.2".
Quick Release Camera Plate
An included camera plate features a standard 1/4"-20 mounting screw for attaching your camera.
Spiked and Rubber Feet
The tripod feet have rubber footpads on them, but these can be retracted to reveal native spiked feet. Between these two foot types, you can securely use the tripod on smooth surfaces as well as soft ground.
Left/Right Pan Bar Mounts
A pan bar is also included and can be attached to either the left- or right-side rosette mount for your choice of left- or right-handed operation.

Benro S2Pro Tripod System Reviews

Do not buy this if you want to use standard arca-swiss plate

By Roger
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2025-10-08

This tripod has a weird head. It comes with a unique quick release plate that looks similar to the standard arca-swiss type plates but it is very hard to use and not compatible with standard plates. I wanted a tripod/head that I could use with the lenses I have that have plates on them already and with a spotting scope that I have installed a standard a-s plate. It is very hard to put on and take off this head. Avoid this trip/head, I made a mistake purchasing it, I should have known it was cheap for a reason.

Great for hobbyist, not for pros

By Charlie

This is a great quality tripod for hobbyists and semi-pro shooters. However, it does not hold up long to the rigors of pro shooting. It's quality and functionality are good for travel or as a compact rig, but it did not survive longer than two years of weekly use and several cross country/cross continent trips. We have several of the compact, bare bones Manfrotto tripods that are still holding strong after nearly 10 years of constant abuse. I don't think Benro will last as long as a Manfrotto for the same price, but the Benro has more features. It'll probably last a while if you take really good care of it.

Asked by: Fabian
The Benro Aero 2 PRO Aluminum Travel Video Tripod with Flip Locks would not be compatible with the Benro 3-Leg Locking Base For Monopods. The foot of the leg when configured to a monopod would be either a spike or the rubber foot included with the system.
