Pros:Pro: Head made of magnesium alloy, well-finished with large sphere for fluid motion. Universal face-swiss connector, PU-60mm flat plate. Graded scale for panoramic shooting adjustments. Double adjustment
Cons:No problems found
Opinion:Opinion: Benro B3 head is very interesting for use in naturalistic photography. The ball diameter is 36mm, the base of 56mm. It supports a load of 12Kg and greatly reduces the friction adjustments during blockage of the head itself. It can work in symbiosis with the gimbal "sidekik" Benro gh-a (it places the curved plate vertically and locks it, here will be hooked the sidekik terminal). This upgrade allows the photographer to make an essential photographic output with the ball head + tripod or to add the gimbal to a fluid motion control suitable for birdlife chase. As an expandable 2-piece system, it is possible to find a secure housing inside a compact backpack. For naturalistic use I recommend purchasing the well-plate PU-100mm or 140mm. Head B3 + sidekik gh-a (the latter is already equipped with a PU-85mm plate), I recommend for naturalistic photography with optics up to 2-2.3kg.
Pros:minimum reduced height, fluidity and stability
Cons:the knob for adjusting the fluidity totally useless
Opinion:Purchased along with C2692t is a good head, unable to sustain without problems even with the 1D IV 300 2.8. It has three knobs, the smallest to adjust the horizontal movement, the largest to release or lock the ball head and an intermediate to adjust the fluidity in smoothness. in my opinion it has a run too long and makes the setting most of the time useless. He did very well without possessions. very safe and quick release system
Pros:Solid and good flow, very light and easily transportable. Settings lock accurate and robust.
Cons:Not reported.
Opinion:Given the good reviews, I bought this head as all do, and I was always satisfied. It is stable at both low focal that with the Nikon 70-300. Once securely attach the lock knobs The camera remains completely stable. rnAlla base has a small level that allows a coarse adjustment but fast commissioning level. rnConsigliata to those looking for a head-rounder.
Pros:good flow and construction, lightweight, Arca plate
Cons:Nothing
Opinion:I bought this head to replace the head B0 owned, and combined with the A1682TB0 Travel Angel Tripod II, for a greater range of equipment. I tried to use it with the Canon 6D mounted with the Canon EF 70-200 f / 2.8L IS II USM and Canon 2x III extender (total weight 2.7 Kg) and I had absolutely no stability issues or anything else. The tripod with the new configuration closes perfectly as it was previously. It 'also a small spirit level on the back side of the head.
Pros:Basic versions Travel Angel, good flow, good construction, Arca plate
Cons:The clutch adjustment is almost useless
Opinion:As stated in the other hand, the adjustment of the clutch is useless because they are not progressive. In the first few notches does not make any significant friction to the movement of the ball and the last becomes little gradual. In addition, the knob does not maintain its position. It's like a second lock knob (useless) .rnManca progression even the large locking knob. You have to tighten well to block the ball tightly. Manfrotto and Gitzo models, at least from what little I've tried it, they are much more solid (but cost twice as much) .rnPer what it costs (nothing if purchased in conjunction with the Travel Angel Aluminum or Carbon 2682 and 2692) is more than enough for a 7D + 24-105 but also for a 7D + 70-200 or 100-400.rnNon we would support a 500, just to understand, but at that point I would not choose either a Travel Angel.rnSicuramente preferable to head B0.
Cons:At the start, but perhaps also for my inexperience, I did not understand what they were knobs which then turned out to be just another one as a clutch and draw ... a rag of two lines written maybe needed ...
Opinion:Purchased with the C2690, travel kit angel, and "travel" there's a lot: really small when closed and stable open. It 'also a small level in the back of the head, which, though it is a self-leveling semigiocattolo, you can always save (after all it is in bubble bubble). Highly recommended.
Pros:Small and lightweight, standard Arca Swiss, closes screw and plates also accepts economic bought on eBay.
Cons:I have not encountered.
Opinion:Along with the A2690 Benro tripod is the "traveling". Together they carry easily (41cm and less than 2 kg) and shall enter into any trolley, not weigh crabs (the other one I have is coupled Manfrotto 055XPROB + Manfrotto 468 MG ... Two boulders). I found the combination used for 140 Euro in sight of a weekend in Prague ... money well spent. I used it with a Canon 40D + Canon 70-200 2.8 for night shots and I have not encountered any problems.
