Pros: Excellent portability, construction and finish strong, remarkable span, pin interchangeable system of leg adjustment fast and easy
Cons: Maximum height necessarily limited mounting system of the camera is not practical, the price a little 'high
Opinion: I purchased this to my Manfrotto tripod to support him "normal" by 160 cm, and despite having used a few times (it's a tripod "travel") I have to say I did a great investimento.rnIl its value is essentially to be easily transportable . This thanks to the very low weight and, especially, to its very small dimensions when closed. More than the length of 38 cm, surprising the other two dimensions: the width of about 11 cm and a depth of 5, which becomes 4 if you remove the plate for the camera. This allows you to slip it practically everywhere, even in a common non-specialist backpack (and even in some bag lady, wanting ...). RnBenro achieved this by aligning the three legs on a plate instead of straight triangular or round as usual. The downside is that it lacks the central column and the head is attached directly to the above plate, which limits inevitably the tripod height to 78 cm. For some it may be a limit, but given the other characterstics, there sta.rnMi liked the ease of adjustment of the legs. It can be lengthened or shortened by turning the collars at the top of each section, and once locked remain very stable. The legs can also be open in three different positions (one of which allows you to have the camera a few inches from the ground) by means of the "blocks" in extracting as much genius as simple. I took some pictures by mounting a camera with tele-zoom, flash and shutter release cable (about 2.5 kg in all) that moved without a millimetro.rnPer Incidentally, the flow rate of up to 6 kg in my opinion places him among the tripods for cameras large, even if the undersigned never ever be able to afford so much heavy equipment to check it out for yourself ... rnNella package, in addition to a cloth bag for transport, are also included metal feet to tip, useful for rough ground or uneven walls, on which even the normal rubber feet will slide or not to grip. Simply replace unscrewing. In the box there is a small wrench, but it is for bolts in the legs and should not begood for the legs, so be careful not to overtighten those to tip, because you might not be able to unscrew them without a key a little 'more perplexing grande.rnLascia system instead of fixing the camera. The screw on does not have a ring to grip to rotate but need an Allen key, which fortunately is in the package. This makes it a bit 'hard-working thing, so I would recommend leaving the plate screwed to the camera for the duration of the trip or session. In addition to avoiding continuous use of Allen, allows to reduce the clutter of an additional cm in depth treppiede.rnDetto of the ball head is very fluid, but by securing stable once locked, you can appreciate the presence of two spirit levels, on a mounting plate and a leg on testa.rnInfine the price, about 150 €. It is not really popular, but I think that its features may be worth the expense. If you travel often or you are fond of trekking, weight and small footprint of this tripod can make a difference |
