Position and support your camera in myriad ways with the TAE-284CF Carbon Fiber Tripod with BH-12 Ball Head from Acebil. Offering a Multi-Angle Central Column, the TAE-284CF is able to place your camera in unique ways by tilting the center column of the tripod. This ability makes it easier to capture tough to photograph subjects and can help you create a stable setup where a standard tripod may not be able to reach. This carbon fiber model weighs just 4 lb and can hold a load capacity up to 26.4 lb.

The TAE-284CF can reach an impressive height of 69" and features four leg sections, each with quick-flip locks, so that you can more easily control the height of your camera. The legs can also be independently set to different angles so that you can ensure you have a stable setup on uneven ground and there is a spring-loaded weight hook for added stability when required. Additionally, for quickly checking if your camera is level there is a bubble level present on the TAE-284CF and each leg has a large foam grip for use in a range of weather conditions.

Included with the tripod is the BH-12 Ball Head, an Arca-type compatible QR head with the ability to quickly and easily adjust camera position. This head features a Friction Control System so that you can more easily set up the friction of the ball to work with the current weight being supported. Also, the ball head allows for tilting downward 90° and features a 360° pan function with an independent lock.

Q: 1. Is there a short center column available for this tripod? Thanks!

A: There is a center column that you can bring up and lock into place - its probably about 8-12 inches if my memory serves correctly - were very happy with this product - it was recommended to us by a friend who is a professional photographer

Q: 2. will this carry heavy dslrs? also is this durable for like mud wind snow rain hail lakes intense rivers and hiking? thanks

A: This Benro Slim tripod is rated at a maximum load capacity of 8.8 lb and will hold whatever cameras, lenses, flashes, etc. that you have below that weight limit. Because it is also a slim carbon-fiber tripod it is not very stabilized in heavy wind, snow, rain, hail, rivers etc. Take a look at B&H # BETAD28CB2 as an alternative.

Q: 3. Is the folded length of 20.1" including the ballhead or does the ball head add more height?

A: The folded length factors in the ball head.

Q: 4. Will this tripod set up hold a canon 5d markiii with 24-70 2.8 L or a 70-200 2.8 L lens with out creeping?

Q: 6. Is the a light weight gimbal head that I can use with this tripod? I use a micro four thirds set up.

A: The Benro TSL08CN00 Slim Carbon-Fiber Tripod with Ball Head only supports 8.8 pounds so it would not be recommended for use with a gimbal head.

Q: 7. What is the total weight of the tripod and the ball head?

A: Mine weighed in at 3.01 lbs. The description is misleading as it implies that the system only weighs 2.2 lbs. Even the legs alone weighed 2.4 lbs. The ball head weighed about 0.6 lbs.

Q: 8. I'm looking to change ball heads, any idea what size I need?

A: Depends on what your setup. It uses a standard 3/8 thread for the head mount so it can accept any standard tripod head. Just know that the legs can only handle so much weight and a bigger head means more bulk. The one it comes with is pretty capable. It has worked with my 70-200/2.8 on a 5D2 when I needed it in a pinch.

Q: 9. Aside from the included center column, is there an optional short column available?

A: Yes, the Benro CSC0 Carbon Fiber Short Center Column for 0 Series Tripods (BECSC0) is compatible with the Benro TSL08CN00 Slim Carbon-Fiber Tripod with Ball Head.

Q: 10. Can you remove the center column?

A: The column on the Benro TSL08CN00 Slim Carbon-Fiber Tripod with Ball Head can be removed and turned upside down for low angle shooting if you remove the column completely there is no place for the tripod head to attach.
