The GAC502PRO Aluminum Tiltable Center Column from Benro is an aluminum center column adapter that allows almost any tripod's center column to be extended laterally from a 90-degree horizontal or to add a vertical extension. One end of the center column has a 3/8"-16 male stud for use with most tripod heads, and the other end features groove to fit a sandbag or other ballast. An object can be hung at the end to enhance balance and stability.

The built-in quick release plate base of the GAC502PRO is designed with and Arca-type mount that can be used with Arca-type tripod heads and other receivers. Two anti-slip safety screws are on the bottom of the plate to prevent accidental release. The bottom of the base plate also features additional 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting points, allowing it to be mounted to a video quick release plate or a number of other options.

Q: 9. Does this fit the TAD27A Benro tripod?

A: B&H never responded so I took a chance and bought this. It DOES fit my TAD27A, and comes complete with screw and tripod hook. It's a bit shorter than the stock one. I bought this so I can attach a gimbal, and now can do a quick change simply by yanking out the center post. The extra post cost less than a clamp/plate combo, and I can now loctite my heads down solid.

Q: 10. Will this fit a Benro A250F tripod?

A: Not that we are aware of. This is only compatible with Benro Series 2 tripods.
