Benro Tortoise #3 Reviews
Benro Tortoise Tripod
I bought this tripod to use for bird and landscape photography. The tripod is light and very sturdy. I've only had the opportunity to use it once, but it worked well. My only complaint is that it was supposed to come with two allen wrenches, but both were missing. Thus the reason for four stars instead of five. I believe the tripod was a returned item because the manufacturer's tags that would have normally been attached to the tripod were removed and in a plastic bag with the spike feet. I have contacted both Benro and B&H but have not received a response from either.
Sturdy and tall tripod with built in leveler
This tripod checks all the boxes for me. It's tall, sturdy, and still opens up for very low shots. It was the only one I could find that also had a built in leveler. Perfect combination a the right price.
