Benro Mach3 Tripod S3 Carb 4 Sect Long

Very sturdy, adjustments (legs center column) are smooth and secure and easily accessed with short small movements. Very lightweight however the lightness has one small drawback in that the legs are not heavy enough to fall out when released and must be manually extended somewhat. Not an issue with me. Also the screw locks on the legs while very smooth are not as quick as lever locks. Also not a problem for me. I like that the feet are screw in (also very smooth and sturdy) and not a cap. Comes with spike feet if needed for more stability. Also I like how the legs can be unlocked with one movement of a clip to flair out and get very close to the ground. It also comes with a second center column thats shorter for this purpose. As far as height, it will extend out 69" without the center stand which adds approx 12" more. The whole thing comes in a nice nylon carrying case with 2 side pockets for accessories and a nice cloth inner case for the tripod itself. Also has with a small tool set with an open end and allen head wrench to tighten up anything that may work loose. I have not used it long enough to see for sure but I dont see anything working loose anytime soon. Just seems like every screw or nut is such close tolerance that the tools wont be necessary. A bit pricey at 450 but well worth it.

Very much impressed. Solid and very stable. The leg collars are large thus giving a good grip and easily tightened. The rubber feet are stellar. They stick to a floor like glue. The spikes are going to be usufull in my case. Outdoors photographer. Windy places. I need steady. This foots the bill.

Love it but did have the white inner plastic tubing break which allows one of the legs to slide straight out and off the tripod which is problematic. Not sure why it has broken within the first week of use. Otherwise is sturdy and easy to use.

Upgraded from my travel tripod to something more sturdy. Excellent quality, legs glide with ease on setting up and closing down. Topped of with a solid Benro Gx30 bullhead, the set up has with stood strong winds and gusts, and all photos produced without blur. Slightly on the heavy side but that’s to be expected from such a large tripod. Highly recommend Bento anytime.

très léger, pas de défaut, un excellent pied pour la rotule BENRO
