Benro<\/a> are back with a pair of carbon-fibre tripods built to support DSLRs and long, heavy lenses up to 18kg where extra stability can be required.<\/p>\nIt seems like they’ve also thought of heavy video cameras \u2013 with the option of replacing the platform with the 75mm half bowl (included) so a video head with levelling half ball can be fitted.<\/p>\n
Based on its original ‘Combination’ tripod range, the new tripods come in 3-leg and 4-leg variants. The original versions’ lever leg locks have been replaced with some less old-hat twist locks.<\/p>\n
Other features include three options for feet – ‘big’ feet, rubber feet or stainless steel spiked feet – included with the main body. Also included is a ballast hook and padded carry bag.<\/p>\n
The new tripods are now available, starting from \u00a3400 at most photographic retailers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
