The Benro BV8 Twin-Leg Aluminum Tripod Kit is a complete tripod system ideal for studio applications and handling larger camera rigs weighing up to 17.6 lb. The kit pairs the 75mm-ball BV8 video head with a twin-leg aluminum tripod. The BV8 head features a 5-step counterbalance system to dial in the correct amount for your setup, and independent 4-step pan and tilt drag settings for precise control over camera movements. A Manfrotto 501/504PL compatible sliding quick release plate is provided. All the main controls aside from counterbalance are located on the left side of the head, making it easy to make adjustments with a single hand while operating the camera. For added versatility, the 75mm ball tie-down stud is removable to convert the head to a flat base for use on a slider or other support device.

The 2-stage, 3-section twin-leg aluminum tripod incorporates a 75mm bowl and offers sturdy support for the BV8 head. It features oversized quick positive leg locks for a simple and fast setup, an adjustable/removable mid-level spreader, and dual spiked feet with removable rubber pads. The tripod system extends to a maximum height of 63" while getting as low as 28". A carry case and shoulder strap are included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can you attach shoulder straps?

A: No, shoulder straps cannot be attached. But the padded handle is leather wrapped to make the bag comfortable to hand carry, even when loaded.

Q: 2. Can the head be removed from the tripod itself? I want to put a slider on the tripod with just the ball adustment and put the head on top of the slider. Would that work?

A: It can.

Q: 3. Is this too big for international carry on size?

A: It depends on the carrier and the plane being used. The height (21 inches) and width (14 inches) should meet most international requirements. However, the depth is around 9 inches (10 including top handle), and that might be too tall for some regional jets.

Q: 4. Besides the 2kg difference in load capacity, are there any other major or key differences between the BV8 and BV10? Will I be sacrificing more than just load capacity? Is the BV10 just overall better-made?

A: The 2KG/4.4 Pound difference in load capacity really is what sets the BV8 and BV10 apart. They are both well made tripods, it would just be a matter of if you need that extra bit of load capacity for your set up.https://bhpho.to/2ozfv7d

Q: 5. What is the difference between this head and the older H8 from Benro?

A: The tripod spreader and legs work much better. The QR plate changed from a top release to a Manfrotto standard. The head's settings are more precise.

Q: 6. I have a Canon C300 Mark 2. Do you think this tripod is a good enough option?

A: I use it with a RED Weapon and have used it with a BM Cinema and it handles the weight fine. I picked this tripod after spending a few hours in the store trying out similar options from multiple manufacturers. It seemed to be the best option even against a few products priced a bit higher.Have been very happy with it.

Q: 10. Hi. Is it possible to carry a 15 inch MPB in a sleeve on top of the camera gear inside the bag? Thank you.
