[Fluid Head] 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. 5

[3 Positions] I snagged this on a sale and it might be overkill for my setup but the deal was too good. The tripod isn't as heavy as I thought it would be. The pan and tilt customization is great and very smooth. The tripod also looks sleek if that matters to you. I can trust it in any situation even when traveling. 5

Jared	24/08/2024
[Yes] I wanted the easiest-to-use tripod possible, and this delivers for me. It's elegant, light, quick, and sturdy as heck even in wind. Everything is smooth and well-made. The first tripod I've ever actually liked using. 5

[Removable] I'm glad I was able to get a quality carbon fiber tripod at this price point. This is my first (and hopefully last) tripod. It's taller than competing tripods, but the slim design allows it slide deeper into a backpack sleeve. It still fits into my carry on luggage easily. The Benro has good height, the legs don't flex when pressure applied and its lightweight. The tripod is very stable, even with orientating my camera vertically in 10 mph winds (a7iii with 18-105mm lens). My only gripe is the tension lever on the ball head could be less sensitive. There's an overly fine line in the tension between holding the camera up and letting the camera drop. Because of this, I am used to holding the body/lens every time I make adjustments. Although, I think this is probably good practice anyway. 5

[26.45 lb] Using this tripod in a video rig with a Sony mirrorless camera, long Canon FD lenses (300mm - 400mm), Atomos Ninja V, Fotga matte box. Handles the tasks very well. 5

Jared	11/08/2024
[Yes] This tripod is a very good and affordable option. It has many if not all of the feature I was searching for at a great price point. My only complaint is with the mounting plate. The rubber on mine has peeled off of the mounting plate and can get stuck when taking the plate on or off. I had to reglue 5

YIFENG	07/08/2024
[Removable] Sturdy material with smooth pan and tilt for heavy camera, especially the price when 20% off deal. It is unbeatable. Like it. 5

Kenneth	19/07/2024
[Removable] Very good build quality. Perfect match for my Sony A6300. 5

Daniel	07/07/2024
[26.45 lb] This is my second Benro tripod and find this as another exceptional piece of gear. It has super smooth tilt and pan functions and can hold a relatively heavy set up. My only gripe is that it only has three settings for the pan function and wont allow for further tuning. Other than that this tripod is amazing. The quality is top notch and I have no doubt that itll last for years to come. Im more than happy with this purchase. 5

[Carbon Fiber] I purchased the Benro TS108 slim carbon fiber tripod for hiking. I am very happy with the size, weight and function with it. Very sturdy when used as designed. I like the ability to reverse the center column for ground shots. 5
