Terrific height, stability, weight and portability. Easily rivals tripods 2 to 3 times the cost

I saw this on Cyber Monday Flash Sale for a unbelievable price so I pounced ! First of all this tripod supports My Nikon D5600 much better than my travel tripod. This tripod is the real deal , after using it for night time photography I am totally impressed. Thanks B&H for another great deal.

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.

I upgraded from a cheap aluminum tripod, wanting something sturdy but light enough to travel with. The Benro Rhino. Carbon Fiber Three Series with VC 30 Head seemed perfect and affordable.

I use the Peak design clutch and slide depending on the lens, and wanted something compatible with the system as well.

There are a couple things I should mention that might help someone comparing models. The carbon fiber gives micro splinters. I’ve gotten two from the first use of the tripod. I’ve never used carbon fiber, but I’ll assume this is due to being a new product and will stop with use.

The second thing is the knob that secures the quick release sits VERY close to the bottom of the camera. Large fingers may have trouble manipulating it. I have smallish hands, and it’s a bit tight. Coupled with minor neurological issues, I have some difficulty being able to tell if I’ve got it tight enough. Again, I’m sure with time this won’t be an issue.

The monopod feature is fantastic. Very easy to break down and assemble. Even the included carry case is well-made.

As a hobbyist, I was looking to upgrade my original tripod. I couldn’t justify the cost of a RRS no matter how hard I tried. Decided on the Benro and couldn’t be happier. Huge upgrade from my Vanguard. Very solid and stable yet light enough to carry on a shorter hike.

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!

You can feel the quality of this tripod and the carbon fiber is definitely worth it if you need to haul it around. Even fully extended up it's still extremely stable and has some really nice features for adjustments while shooting

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.

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)

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).
