Benro CLT203 Overview

The CLT203 Induro Classic Carbon Fiber Tripod, 2-Series Legs from Benrto provides maximum stability in a compact, unique design, suitable for the evolving image maker. The 63" tall tripod features a unique carbon fiber weave that maximizes the strength-to-weight ratio and has a load capacity of 35.3 lb, while keeping the weight down to 3.5 lb. The magnesium spider features V-pattern cross-braces for extra rigidity and the sturdiness needed for long-lens photography.

The ergonomic, rubber-covered twist-lock joints are dust-resistant and oversized, so they easily fit the hand, even while wearing gloves when the cold weather hits. Engineered for stability at any angle, the three-stop adjustable leg locks and independent leg spread provide lower angles and maximum stability. The adjustable legs and bubble level allow easy and accurate leveling on uneven terrain. The oversized center column lock makes it easy to secure the short, grooved column in any vertical position and even allows the camera to be positioned as close to the ground as possible. Additionally, this 2-Series leg set folds down to an impressively compact 24.6" for easy transport and storage.

Benro CLT203 Reviews

I liked it so much I purchased another one.

By John

I purchased my first CLT203 on sale, not sure how I would feel about it, but for the price it was worth trying. I paired it up with a leveling base and a Cayer H8 video head, and I love it! ($210 total!) I have a SmallRig AD-80 and it is too big to lug around for most of the shooting I do. I liked the CLT-203 so much, I purchased a second (on sale). It seems well built and I have not had any problems with it, so far.

Strong And Simple

This Is A Very Solid Tripod. It's Simple To Use. The Leg Locks Are Simple And Secure. It's Versatile - Especially With 2 Center Columns Included. I Like The 3 Leg Sections Vs 4 That A Lot Of Tripods Use. Can't Say Anything Bad About It!

Asked by: Matthew
If your Manfrotto ball-head has a 3/8" 16 female thread, you can connect the Benro CLT203 2-Series Induro Classic Carbon Fiber Tripod to it.
