[Twist Lock] Recently purchased this model tripod during a sale. This is my second tripod from Benro (a smaller unit with about 7# capacity). I needed a more heavy duty unit to hold my Sony A7R5 camera and heavy zoom telephoto lenses. It meets my criteria and more. I rate this tripod 5 stars with no defects found.

[Yes] Very solid and well built. This tripod is much more robust than my other travel tripod, so it will not be on any long hikes because of its weight. It is more weighty than I expected, but that is my choice, not a flaw. There are more options available than I typically use, but one cannot complain about have too many, rather than too few, options.

[3/8"-16 Male] While I have not had a chance to use it extensively, It is very light, and easy to set up. Strong enough to carry the weight of NIKON Z9, converter ring and a 300mm telephoto lens.

[Carbon Fiber] Appears to be every bit as well designed and built as the big $ brands. Stacks up to high-end equipment shockingly well in all categories I can think of. Like most of the other folks who bought this, I got it on a sale. However, at it's retail price it's still an excellent value compared to comparable offerings from other companies. I've been very happy overall with Benro products over the years (my tripods are exclusively Benros at this point), though I can't say whether they'll stand the test of time like a Gitzo or RRS might (in regard to things like retaining bolt tightness for the leg hinges).

[4] Extremely stable, easy to use. Also, folds into very compact size.

[4] I had been using my old tripod for about 25 years...it was heavy...it was cumbersome...but it was sturdy and never let me (or my cameras) down...Naturally I have been looking for a new one for the last couple of years...visited brick &mortar stores testing them...but I never found anything I thought was worth the cost ...in my price range.


Naturally, I was ecstatic when I came across B&H's sale on the Beno Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod. It's light weight...super sturdy and was on sale for nearly 1/2 price. I couldn't type fast enough to get my order filled.


Thanks to B&H, I have a new piece of badly needed equipment that easily supports my Z9 with a NIKON 300mm f2.8 lens, but is light enough to carry and small enough to store comfortably.


Thanks,
B&H...(for my Christmas present)

[Yes] The class instructor really said we all need to get a tripod, so I started searching for something better than a starter model. I am very happy with this tripod, extremely well made and easy to use. The instructor is right, it IS really useful to have a tripod. And whenever the pandemic settles down, this tripod seems like it will travel well. Great value!

[4] My first real tripod was a Benro Travel Angel and I've been loyal since. I've had the travel angel for 11+ years and it was time for an upgrade. I have a Benro Mach 3 and love it but I wanted something more portable friendly. After reviewing the many series that Benro offers I decided on the Rhino because of it's focus on stability and portability. It was on sale so I got a deal and B&H packed it well and shipped very fast. And, with PayBoo I saved the tax. :-)

[4] I purchased this tripod while B&H had it on an excellent sale, and I was able to work with it on a lengthy shoot this past weekend (for the first time). I photographed an outdoor wedding for a really nice couple, and it's light weight and sturdiness was much appreciated. I'm a stickler for sharpness and detail, and I often use a tripod during such shoots. If it's helpful, I shoot with a Nikon D850 and a Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 for the vast majority of the photos, and the tripod and the VX30 ballhead held everything rock-solid. I found it to be an excellent tripod and will be using it for any future on-location shoots!

[Carbon Fiber] I wanted a tripod that I could take on a trip to arctic and I wanted something to be light and sturdy and after trying more than 10 tripods I ended up with this Benro Rhino which I have to tell you was great. If you are looking for a nice size and light weight tripod then look no further.
