Use the Benro 100mm Half Ball Adapter to mount flat-based tripod heads and accessories onto tripods, hi-hats, or other grip equipment with 100mm bowls. The short tie-down thread can be used in situations where low clearance would otherwise obstruct longer tie-downs.

Q: 2. Did you know if this works with a Benro Mach tma47al tripod?

A: The Benro TMA47AL Long Series 4 Mach3 Aluminum Tripod does not have a 100mm bowl. It therefore cannot use the Benro 100mm Half Ball Adapter.

Q: 3. Did you know if this works with a Benro tripster FTR28C ?

A: No, the Benro 75HB 75mm Half Ball Adapter is designed to work with a video half bowl 75mm mount. The Benro Tripster Travel Tripod (2 Series, Black, Carbon Fiber) is a photography tripod that uses a center column that extends into a monopod, which is very different.

Q: 4. Is this just one screw that passes completely though the device, or are there multiple pieces?

A: Thank you Cory. I see how it works now. It is not a bolt coming up through the bottom, it is all threaded and the bottom knob moves up independently.

Q: 5. Will this fit the Sachtler 75mm FSB8?

Q: 7. If I’m using a Manfrotto (608 Nitrotech) fluid head with Benro tripod legs; Should I purchase a Manfrotto or Benro half-ball adaptor?

A: You could purchase either one in this case. They would both do the same job.

Q: 8. Will this Half Ball Adapter fit onto the Cartoni Focus12 head? I am fitting it to Manfrotto 645 Fast legs.

A: No, the Benro 100mm Half Ball Adapter won't mount to the Cartoni Focus 12 Fluid Head (100mm) since the this model head does not convert to a flat base. The Cartoni Focus 12 Fluid Head (100mm) provides a 100mm ball that can mount to 100mm bowl tripods like the Manfrotto 645 FAST Twin Leg Video Tripod with Ultra L-Lock Mechanism (Carbon Fiber).

Q: 9. Can this be used on any other 75mm tripod legs?

A: The Benro Mammoth Tripod 75mm to 100mm Half-Ball Adapter is only compatible with the Benro Mammoth Tripod.

Q: 10. Could this also be used on a Benro 100mm Hi-Hat?

A: Benro 100mm Hi-Hat has a different base mount and already comes with the half bowl adapter. Unfortunately Benro Mammoth Tripod 75mm to 100mm Half-Ball Adapter. is not compatible with Benro 100mm Hi-Hat.
