This TSL08AN00 Slim Aluminum-Alloy Tripod from Benro supports up to 8.8 lb and includes an Arca-type ball head with quick release plate. Designed to conserve space during storage and transport, the tripod measures 20.1" long and 3.2" wide when folded. Its 4-section legs each feature an independent spread, a 3-position angle lock, half-turn twist locks for rapid deployment, and a rubber foot to enhance stability on a wide variety of surfaces. Together, the three legs can be extended and spread to raise the tripod from a minimum height of 15.7" to a maximum height of 48.4" or 57.6" with its push-and-pull, rapid center column fully raised.

Cameras, lenses, or sport optics that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the included quick release plate. The quick release plate can be attached or removed from the integrated, Arca-type clamp located at the top of the head's ball-and-socket joint by tightening or loosening the clamp's knurled, locking knob. While the top of the quick release plate features a rubberized, non-slip platform, dual retaining screws are provided along its underside. Those retaining screws help prevent the quick release plate and an attached camera from accidentally sliding off when the clamp it is placed on is opened.

By loosening the ball head's primary locking knob, the head's ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. Additionally, the primary locking knob controls the ability to pan the head 360°. For added versatility, the tripod's center column is reversible, facilitating low-angle photography where an attached camera is positioned among the tripod's legs instead of above them.

A nylon, drawstring bag is provided for storage and transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the leg lock in a partially extended state or must it be fully extended to lock?

A: Hi yes I am almost positive it can lock partially extended. I have only used it fully extended and in locked position. Hands down a well built Monopod! - Drew

Q: 2. Will this work with a Cannon rebel t6?

Q: 3. What monopods are compatible with the benro vt2?

A: I contacted Benro USA with your inquiry. Benro USA states that any tripod/monopod with a 3/8 threaded foot will accept the VT2 foot. Not all Benro tripods/monopods use 3/8 feet, as some have glue-in feet or some use M8 screw-in feet. There has been over a hundred different model tripod/monopods made by Benro, and unfortunately, they do not have a Compatibility Chart listing all tripods/monopods compatible for use with the VT2 foot. If you have an inquiry about a particular tripod/monopod, you may either check the Specifications or Accessories tabs on our website, or you may contact us at prophoto@bhphoto.com and we can try to assist you with the inquiry for the specific tripod/monopod you are interested in purchasing.

Q: 4. Can you shoot down for flat lay photography or do you need an arm?

A: The tripod does not have a column that goes horizontal. The center column is reversible, facilitating low-angle photography where an attached camera is positioned among the tripod's legs instead of above them.

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.
