[25.2" / 64 cm] Very good build quality. Perfect match for my Sony A6300.

[25.2" / 64 cm] This is a small light tripod, easy to carry, fast to set up. Because of its reasonable price for carbon fiber, just $150, I bought it for a travel tripod with my Lumix micro four-thirds camera. Turns out it is rock solid and firm even when I mount my Canon 5D Mark IV with 24-70mm on it.
The built-in ball head is also excellent. Even though there is only one locking lever, it exerts smooth soft pressure, so there is no creep after set up. That is, I don't have aim the camera high because I'm expecting it to adjust itself down a bit after I've tightened the ball head. That said, I don't think I will mount my Canon 100 to 400 mm zoom on it! I'll keep my heftier tripod for that. But this Benro is replacing all my other tripods for all but the heaviest work.

[25.2" / 64 cm] I was a little skeptical at first. I wanted to keep the size and weight to a minimum without giving up quality and this tripod has proven to be an effective tool in the field after testing. It allows for a trinity lens system, one Sony camera, tripod, plus accessories in a small backpack (see photo), all coming in under 12 lb. (a little over 5 kilos). The tripod can be extended to nearly 60, but I use that level only to stabilize my 70-180 lens. The three foot level and below gives you maximum self-stability, which works fine for me. I can put a 10 lb. ballast bag under with 3-5 pounds of camera on top with confidence. Kudos to K&F, I think the overall design was pretty well thought out. Thanks B&H!

[25.2" / 64 cm] Strong & stable light tripod. Convenient to travel. Good value

[25.2" / 64 cm] This is exactly what I was looking for in a travel/walkaround tripod for shooting stills with a mirrorless. It's small and light, but the build quality is confidence-inspiring. You always want a margin of safety with a tripod, and I would not want to use this with an 8lb DSLR setup, but it's wonderful with a 4lb mirrorless. One unusual feature I especially like here is that the center column is keyed so it won't rotate, allowing you to really positively thread on your ballhead. The center column is aluminum which I think strikes a nice balance between weight savings and sturdiness. I also like that there's no rubber or plastic overmolding on the leg locks, so you get a really positive lock action, which should stand the test of time.


The included ball head is usable, but it is a very poor showing, and is not nearly as nice as these legs. It has angle adjustment marks for panning, but no separate control for pan, so these are decorative, I guess? Ball smoothness is mediocre, and the integrated bubble level is hidden underneath the plate, which itself is really small with hard plastic inlays at the attachment surface, so you don't get much friction. It also features not one but two fixed stop pins, for maximum frustration. I replaced this ballhead immediately with a Novoflex Ball19 I had around, and it is a superb pairing. Hey, the blue even matches!


Overall, these legs occupy a nice niche, offering quality but fairly-priced lightweight tripod that is ideal for mirrorless shooters who want to keep it light and minimal. I think the asking price is a fine value for the legs alone, so I rate this 5 stars, in spite of the throwaway ballhead. It is surprising that Benro doesn't include something nicer here- I love the ballhead on my little Benro Tablepod, so they clearly know how to make a solid lightweight ballhead.

[25.2" / 64 cm] I was looking for a light-weight photography (ballhead) tripod. Something that was carbon fiber. This checked all the boxes. I take it everywhere with me. Lately, I've even been taking it to video shoots.

[25.2" / 64 cm] Perfect lightweight tripod,particularly for travel use. Very sturdy, well made.

[25.2" / 64 cm] I bought this on the recommendation of Youtuber Joe Edelman. very light, yet sturdy for travel tripod. Benro makes an aluminum version of this for less money. Easy to carry. Ball head is small, but very smooth. I have used this in my makeshift studio with my crop sensor Canon� DSLR� and a fairly heavy old medium telephoto lens and got good results, but I just know it would be very easy for this setup to tip over - recommend using the weight hook on the bottom of the center tube. With everything extended fully, it is tall enough to be about eye level for me and I am 5' 10", but usually I will not use it fully extended. The center tube can be turned upside down to get the camera very close to the ground. Comes with a usable nylon fabric carrying case. I've seen a lot of tripods in this price range that just felt like junk - this feels like quality! Twist locks are easy to use, feel good.

[25.2" / 64 cm] I wanted a lightweight but sturdy tripod for film cameras, particularly my Nikon FM-2 and my Olympus OM-1. Small packing volume was less important and I didn't want to fuss with too many leg sections. I was willing to pay up to $200. This one at half that price is perfect for my needs. With the legs collapsed you can lock them or release them in one partial turn. Extended, of course, you must do all three locks on a leg individually. It's very stable, and even holds my Hasselblad 501C securely. The PU 30 QR plate is fine with most lenses, but there's a bit of "sag" after I tighten the ball head with a 200mm lens on the FM-2. A 60mm plate from Breakthrough Photography took care of that. I can't speak to its longevity, but it's so well made I'm confident I'll get a lot of service from it. This was a completely satisfying purchase.

[25.2" / 64 cm] Perfect
