The Mammoth 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod from Benro is lightweight, robust, easy to setup, and made for heavy loads. It has a maximum height of 59.8" and an impressive load capacity of 39.7 pounds, yet weighs just 4.3 pounds. The carbon fiber legs offer independent leg spread, three locking angles, and durable aluminum twist-locks. The tripod includes a head platform with a standard 3/8"-16 mounting thread to be compatible with almost any tripod head. The leg apex has a quick release lever so you can easily swap the interchangeable 75mm bowl and level a camera in seconds, even on uneven terrain. The apex has a hollowed design to reduce weight, and three built-in 3/8"-16 mounting holes for adding accessories like microphones and monitors.
